Living in Kudelstaart, Aalsmeer
Kudelstaart is a village on the southern side of the municipality of Aalsmeer, bordering the Westeinderplassen. It has a distinct village character: little high-rise, many single-family homes with gardens, wide streets and water in the immediate vicinity. A large part of the residential development dates from the period after 2000. The area around the Kudelstaartseweg and the newer expansion areas largely consist of terraced houses, semi-detached houses and detached houses. Apartments are also present, but to a lesser extent. Those looking for a rental home in Kudelstaart will therefore relatively often find a larger ground-based property, which explains the average area of 115 m² in the private sector.
Facilities in Kudelstaart
For daily groceries, there is a neighbourhood shopping centre nearby, including a supermarket within walking distance for most residents. For a larger range of shops and catering, the centre of Aalsmeer is the nearest option. Kudelstaart has primary schools in the area, which explains the presence of families with children: this is the largest household group in the neighbourhood. For sports, there are opportunities at local clubs and the Westeinderplassen offer space for water sports and recreation. The green space scores relatively well in resident reviews (6.6 out of 10), which fits with the location on open water and the spatial layout of the neighbourhood.
Accessibility of Kudelstaart
Accessibility is one of the weaker points of Kudelstaart, and this is also mentioned in the reviews. One bus line runs through the neighbourhood, with a frequency of about twice an hour. The direct connection to Amsterdam-Zuid is limited, which is a serious point of attention for commuters. Resident A.K. writes: "Public transport is somewhat lacking. There is only one bus that runs every half hour, missing the direct connection to Amsterdam-Zuid." By car, Kudelstaart is reasonably accessible via the N201, with a connection to the A4 and A9 within a short distance. Schiphol is about a ten-minute drive away, which is an advantage for some residents for work, but also causes nuisance: several reviews mention increasing noise pollution from night flights. Parking is free on most streets. Cycling to the centre of Aalsmeer is quite feasible.
Atmosphere and social cohesion
The resident reviews give a mixed picture, with an overall score of 4.8 out of 10 based on five reviews. Green space (6.6) and housing (6.8) score best. Sense of community (2.8), accessibility (3.2) and safety (4.2) score clearly insufficient. Several residents describe a neighbourhood that has deteriorated in recent years in terms of liveability and social interaction. One resident writes: "Nice houses. Spacious gardens. Disrespectful environment. Little compassion for others." Another resident mentions nuisance from young people and noise pollution at night as recurring problems. Not everyone shares this view: another resident gives the neighbourhood a 7.7 and experiences Kudelstaart as a nice, quiet village. All reviews and neighbourhood data can be found on the neighbourhood page of Kudelstaart. More information about the broader district is available via the page about Kudelstraat and Kalslagen.
Those considering renting a home in Kudelstaart would do well to also look at other neighbourhoods in the municipality. In Oosteinde and the centre of Aalsmeer, the supply is sometimes larger and accessibility by public transport is better. The character does differ: Kudelstaart is more village-like and greener, while the centre of Aalsmeer offers more urban facilities. For an overview of all rental properties in Kudelstraat and Kalslagen, you can also search at district level.
Is renting in Kudelstaart for you?
Kudelstaart best suits families and people who consciously choose a village environment with space and greenery, and who are less dependent on public transport. The average income in the neighbourhood is €40,600, the labour participation rate is 71%, and 42% of residents are married. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years. Starters and young people who commute to Amsterdam daily will experience the limited public transport connection as a serious disadvantage. The private sector supply is small: only 14 homes were rented out in the past twelve months. So respond quickly if you come across a suitable property, and make sure your documents (employer's statement, payslips) are ready. For social housing, you can register with housing associations active in the Aalsmeer region, but be prepared for waiting lists. As an alternative, the owner-occupied homes in Kudelstaart are worth considering, especially given the relatively high proportion of owner-occupied homes in the neighbourhood.

Since the completion of the neighbourhood in 2004, there has been a clear decline and impoverishment. Liveability is structurally under pressure. Assessment: The neighbourhood scores insufficient on the following aspects: Safety, Community spirit, Hygiene, Education / upbringing climate, Green spaces, Facilities, Accessibility. Explanation per aspect: Safety: Parking and driving on pavements and footpaths. Unsafe situations for pedestrians and playing children. Nuisance from hanging groups and fatbike groups, especially in the evenings. Insufficient visible enforcement. Community: High turnover in apartments, little connection to the neighbourhood. Hardly any social cohesion or mutual accountability culture. Little involvement in the living environment. Hygiene: Structural dog poop on grass fields; the clean-up duty is not observed. Lots of litter, including sweet and crisp wrappers, also in private gardens. Insufficient cleaning and maintenance by the municipality. Education / upbringing climate: Children play outside without supervision. Norms and values regarding waste, respect for others' property and public space are visibly lacking. Negative role model for younger children. Green: Poorly maintained green spaces. Grass fields polluted and therefore not usable for recreation. Unattractive and unkempt street scene. Facilities: Insufficient parking facilities, partly due to company vans. No clear facilities to combat nuisance (such as extra bins or supervised play areas). Accessibility: Pavements and footpaths often blocked by parked vehicles. Poor accessibility for the elderly, prams and people with disabilities. What could be improved: Active and visible enforcement of parking, dog poop and nuisance. Tackling long-term parked company vans. Improvement of municipal maintenance of green and public space. Placement of extra bins and targeted cleaning actions. Structural deployment of neighbourhood police and enforcement officers, especially in the evenings. Measures to strengthen social cohesion and encourage residents to take more responsibility. Clear communication about norms, rules and consequences.
Auto-translated to English by AINice house Lots of green Shopping centre nearby Public transport accessibility could be better Not safe due to nuisance from youths, who learn their behaviour from their parents. Disrespectful, selfish. No sense of community. Hygiene: shit everywhere on the grass field is not cleaned up, youths just throw packaging into gardens.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood started off quite well. New houses, new residents. However, after a number of residents moved away and were replaced by the next residents, it has deteriorated a lot. Besides a huge increase in nuisance from night flights from Schiphol, the mutual social behaviour has dropped to zero. It is a neighbourhood with many children who find the antisocial behaviour of their parents so normal that they don't know any better and copy their parents' behaviour. In recent years, there has been a lot of nuisance and vandalism by whole groups of terrorising children. These children are getting older and are now starting to show different behaviour or moving away. Addressing people and talking about it is not accepted. And bullying is a daily occurrence, especially if you keep your distance from these people. Because you already know that talking and addressing them backfires. Because if you don't join in or show the same antisocial behaviour, you are treated like a pariah. In Kudelstaart there is supervision by a neighbourhood police officer, and after the shooting you see more police and enforcement. However, if you contact the neighbourhood officer or ask the police for help, you can forget about it. We have plenty of beautiful nature and greenery in and around the neighbourhood. Education could be better. There is childcare, primary school education (the level is not great) and there is a VMBO (which also has a not-so-good reputation). However, for children who go to havo or vwo, you have to look further. Accessibility by public transport is very poor. There is a bus station in Aalsmeer that the bus from Kudelstaart goes to. However, the bus does not connect at all with the other buses. It would be nice if at least one bus every quarter or half hour went directly to the nearest train station (e.g. Hoofddorp) without having to transfer. Maybe the tram from Uithoorn could be extended to Kudelstaart. Facilities are sufficient but could also be better.
Auto-translated to English by AIReasonably neat neighbourhood. Unfortunately, there is nuisance from screaming neighbours, drunk neighbours, antisocial behaviour towards neighbours who distance themselves from it. So if you don't belong or don't want to belong, you'd better brace yourself. Little empathy and understanding. A lot of nuisance from vandalism of cars and personal belongings. In addition, there are regularly groups of young people who terrorise the neighbourhood by "ring and run", and if you don't respond, they then bang on the windows. Furthermore, windows are smeared with eggs and yoghurt. The neighbourhood police officer is very hard to find, the police do nothing, confronting the neighbours backfires.
Auto-translated to English by AII personally never really felt unsafe in the neighbourhood. I think it's a nice neighbourhood to live in with hardly any problems. A small, pleasant village, but public transport is a bit lacking. There is only one bus that runs every half hour, and the direct connection to Amsterdam-Zuid will be discontinued in the summer of 2024. Other than that, it's an extremely quiet living environment.
