Living in Lizzy Ansinghbuurt, Amsterdam

The Lizzy Ansinghbuurt is located in the southern part of the Nieuwe Pijp, one of the more densely built-up districts of Amsterdam-Zuid. The neighbourhood is named after the painter Lizzy Ansingh and largely consists of closed building blocks from the early twentieth century, with porch flats and apartment maisonettes as the most common housing types. The streets are relatively narrow, the facades continuous, and the streetscape is typical of the Amsterdam belt from that period: brickwork, tall windows, balconies at the rear.

The character of the neighbourhood is urban but not busy. It is not a tourist area, but neither is it an explicitly quiet residential area. Residents describe it as a neighbourhood where you have everything within walking distance without it feeling too hectic. The population is young and highly educated: the largest age group is 25 to 45 years old (over 43% of all residents) and 63% have a high level of education. Single-person households are by far the majority (905 out of approximately 1,400 households).

Facilities in the Lizzy Ansinghbuurt

For daily groceries, you are quickly sorted. On Ferdinand Bolstraat and Van Woustraat, both a short walk away, you will find supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo, along with a wide range of specialist shops, bakeries and greengrocers. The neighbourhood itself does not have a large shopping centre, but the immediate surroundings more than compensate. The same applies to hospitality: the Pijp is known for its cafés, restaurants and the daily market on Albert Cuypstraat, which is within cycling distance.

Primary schools are available in the immediate vicinity, including several schools in the Nieuwe Pijp. For secondary education, pupils rely on schools elsewhere in Amsterdam-Zuid. In terms of sports and green spaces, Sarphatipark is the nearest park, within walking distance from large parts of the neighbourhood. It offers space for running, playing and relaxation.

Accessibility

The Lizzy Ansinghbuurt is well accessible by public transport. De Pijp metro station (line 52, the North-South line) is a short bike ride or walk away and takes you to the city centre or Amsterdam North in just a few minutes. In addition, several tram lines run through the surrounding streets. By bike, you can reach the centre of Amsterdam in ten to fifteen minutes, which is the preferred method for many residents.

By car, the neighbourhood is accessible via the Ringweg A10, but parking is a point of attention: the entire neighbourhood falls within a paid parking zone and a parking permit is necessary. Visitors pay per hour. This is a frequently heard point of criticism among residents.

Is renting in Lizzy Ansinghbuurt right for you?

The Lizzy Ansinghbuurt mainly attracts young professionals and dual-income couples without children. The combination of urban facilities, good public transport connections and the proximity of the Albert Cuypmarkt makes it attractive for people who want to live centrally without the busiest part of the city centre. Families with children will experience the limited space in the apartments and the lack of large green play areas as a disadvantage.

Honestly, the private sector rental prices are steep: an average of €2,778 per month for 63 m² is not an entry-level market. Anyone considering renting an apartment in Lizzy Ansinghbuurt would do well to respond quickly to listings, as homes in the Nieuwe Pijp are usually rented out quickly. Prepare your financial documents, as landlords standardly ask for payslips and an employer's statement.
