Living in Landlust-Zuid, Amsterdam

Landlust-Zuid is located in the western part of Amsterdam, nestled between the lively Bos en Lommerweg and the quiet Erasmuspark. It is a neighbourhood that has been significantly spruced up over the past ten years. Suzanna, a resident, sums it up succinctly: "It has all been renovated. Quiet and safe neighbourhood." That is true: the streets look well-maintained, the porch flats and apartment buildings from the 1930s to 1950s have largely been renovated, and there is little nuisance.

The character of the neighbourhood is quiet but certainly not boring. J.C., who gave the neighbourhood a 9.1, writes: "This is a neighborhood that has improved a lot in the last 10 years. The buurt is quiet but still quite lively with a perfect combination of young professionals and families." That mix is reflected in the figures: the largest group of residents is aged 25 to 45 (nearly 1,970 of the 4,135 residents), and 53% have a high level of education. Single-person households are the most numerous (1,275), but families are certainly present as well.
