Living in Cornelis Troostbuurt, Amsterdam

The Cornelis Troostbuurt is nestled between the Ferdinand Bolstraat, the Ceintuurbaan and the Sarphatipark, right in the middle of the Nieuwe Pijp. It is a compact, urban neighbourhood consisting mainly of pre-war apartment buildings of three to four storeys, often with narrow stairwells and high ceilings. The streets are narrow, the facades are close together and the homes are predominantly small. You will hardly find any new-build here; the streetscape is defined by the characteristic Amsterdam architectural style from the early twentieth century.

What characterises the neighbourhood is the combination of a residential area with a lively environment. One resident describes it as follows: "Lively neighbourhood, 24/7 lively, little noise from neighbours." That sounds contradictory, but it is true: the hospitality and bustle are concentrated on the main streets, while the side streets are relatively quiet. The Albert Cuypmarkt, one of the most famous daily markets in the Netherlands, is within walking distance. Underneath the homes on the busy streets, there are cafés, restaurants and small shops.

Facilities in the Cornelis Troostbuurt

You can easily do your daily shopping on foot. There are several supermarkets in the immediate vicinity, including an Albert Heijn on the Ferdinand Bolstraat and a Jumbo on the Ceintuurbaan.

For schools, there are primary schools in the Nieuwe Pijp, such as the Pijlerschool and the Nicolaas Maesschool, a short bike ride away. Secondary schools can be found further afield in Amsterdam-Zuid. The Sarphatipark is a few minutes' walk away and is the nearest green space for a run or a picnic. Gyms and yoga studios are plentiful in the area. The Zuiderbad on the Hobbemastraat is the nearest swimming pool.

Accessibility from the Cornelis Troostbuurt

Accessibility is excellent, and residents confirm this with a perfect 10 for accessibility. The tram stop is literally on your doorstep (lines 24 and 3 on the Ferdinand Bolstraat) and De Pijp metro station on the North-South line is across the Ceintuurbaan. This means you can be at Amsterdam Central Station in five minutes. By bike, you can reach Leidseplein or Museumplein in ten minutes. Motorists can reach the A10 via the Amsteldijk in about ten minutes, although it takes longer during rush hour. Parking in this neighbourhood is only possible with a permit and demand is high; a private parking space is rare and expensive.

Residents give the Cornelis Troostbuurt a 7.9 out of 10. Strong points are accessibility (10) and facilities (9). Residents are less enthusiastic about the beauty of the public space (6.0). That is recognisable: the streets are narrow, there is little greenery outside the Sarphatipark, and on busy days there is litter around the market. Anyone looking for rental properties in the Cornelis Troostbuurt should also take into account noise pollution from hospitality venues on the main streets, although this is less of an issue on the side streets.

The Van der Helstpleinbuurt is similar in atmosphere, with Van der Helstplein as a popular terrace square. The Willibrordusbuurt lies just south of the Ceintuurbaan and feels slightly quieter.
