Living in Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost, Amsterdam

Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost is nestled between the Nassaukade, the Kinkerstraat and the Bilderdijkstraat in Amsterdam-West. It is a compact, densely built neighbourhood with predominantly pre-war apartment buildings from the early twentieth century. Think narrow stairwells, high ceilings and small rooms. Streets such as the Frederik Hendrikstraat, the Tweede Hugo de Grootstraat and the Van Beuningenstraat have a messy, lively character typical of this part of West. It is not a neighbourhood of spacious family homes; most apartments are small, which fits the fact that 1,385 of the approximately 1,700 households are single-person households. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years (1,610 residents out of 3,200), giving the neighbourhood a young, dynamic energy.

Facilities in the neighbourhood

You do your daily shopping at the Albert Heijn on the Kinkerstraat or the Lidl on the Bilderdijkstraat. Within walking distance you will find the Ten Katemarkt, one of the last real street markets in Amsterdam, with fresh vegetables, fish, cheese and fabrics. The Kinkerstraat and the Bilderdijkstraat offer a mix of small shops, hairdressers, snack bars and increasingly trendy coffee shops. For schools, there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including De Klimop on the Van Beuningenstraat. Residents rate education an 8.0. Sports facilities are limited in the neighbourhood itself, but Erasmuspark is a few minutes' bike ride away and offers space for running. Westerpark is also easily accessible. GP practices and a pharmacy are located on the Bilderdijkstraat.

Accessibility and parking

Accessibility scores an 8.5 from residents, and rightly so. Tram stops on the Kinkerstraat (lines 7 and 17) take you to Dam Square in ten minutes. Metro station De Vlugtlaan (line 50/North-South line) is within walking distance to the west. By bike, you are at Leidseplein in five minutes. By car, the A10-West via the S105 is reachable in a few minutes, but parking is another story: it is permit parking and spaces are scarce. Expect a waiting list for a parking permit from the municipality of Amsterdam.

Atmosphere, safety and what residents experience

The neighbourhood scores a 6.9 from residents, but behind that average lies a nuanced picture. Facilities and accessibility score high (both 8.5), but safety gets a 6.0 and housing only a 3.5. Resident Bijan describes it aptly: "Lots of crazies, but also many nice people who just haven't been dealt a lucky hand in life." He also says: "Occasionally strange people on the street, especially at night, no burglaries though. Small houses for a hefty price unfortunately." That combination of high rents for small homes and a sometimes rough street atmosphere is typical of this part of the neighbourhood. The low score on housing (3.5) reflects frustration over the price-quality ratio. If you want to rent an apartment here, you must reckon with compact spaces. Compare the atmosphere with the offerings in Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Noord or the southwestern part, where the housing types and prices can be slightly different.

Who is a rental home in Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost interesting for?

Families with children will quickly outgrow the small homes. For social housing (39% corporation-owned), you can register via WoningNet, but expect years-long waiting times.
