Living in Noordoever Sloterplas, Amsterdam

Noordoever Sloterplas is wedged between the Sloterplas lake to the south and the busy Burgemeester De Vlugtlaan to the north. The neighbourhood has a strikingly dual character. Around the Noordzijde and along the Slotermeerlaan you will find post-war terraced houses with front gardens, built in the 1950s and 1960s as part of the General Expansion Plan. Surrounding these are larger apartment complexes, partly social housing and partly private sector new builds. Resident Joep describes it aptly: "Gated community. Nice neighbourhood with grim neighbourhoods around it. Neighbourhood with terraced houses surrounded only by apartments and social housing." That characterisation is recognisable: the terraced houses form a relatively quiet enclave, while the surrounding streets have a different, rougher character.

Amenities around the Noordoever

One of the biggest drawbacks residents mention is the lack of amenities in the immediate vicinity. Joep writes about a "long walk to the nearest supermarkets", and that is correct. The nearest Albert Heijn and Lidl are at shopping centre Plein 40-45, about a 15-minute walk to the north. For daily groceries, you are therefore dependent on a bike or car. Primary schools are available nearby, including De Klimop and Al Wafa on Burgemeester Roëllstraat. For sports and recreation, the location on the Sloterplas is a major plus: you can go running, swim at the beach, and there are sports clubs in the nearby Sloterpark. The Sloterparkbad swimming pool is within cycling distance. There are hardly any restaurants or specialist shops; for that you need to go to the city centre or to the Dichtersbuurt towards Plein 40-45.

Accessibility and parking

Accessibility is reasonable, but not excellent. Slotermeer metro station (line 50/51, now M50/M51) is about a ten-minute walk away. Bus routes on Burgemeester De Vlugtlaan take you towards Sloterdijk station and the city centre. By bike, you can reach Leidseplein in 25 to 30 minutes. By car, the A10 West is accessible via Burgemeester De Vlugtlaan, which is handy for those heading towards Schiphol or Haarlem. Parking is still relatively easy in parts of the neighbourhood compared to the city centre, although the municipality of Amsterdam is gradually expanding paid parking in Nieuw-West.

With a resident average of 6.1 out of 10, the neighbourhood does not score highly, but not dramatically low either. Notably, the score for housing is high (8.0), which fits with the relatively spacious terraced houses. The low score for amenities (4.0) confirms the picture of a neighbourhood where you have to leave the area for shops and restaurants.

Compared to the Louis Couperusbuurt, the Noordoever is greener and quieter, but also less lively in terms of amenities.

Who is a rental property in Noordoever Sloterplas interesting for?

The neighbourhood mainly attracts young professionals and couples aged between 25 and 45, the largest age group (1,200 of the 3,395 residents). Those considering renting an apartment in Noordoever Sloterplas need to be able to act quickly: the private sector here is competitive, so make sure your proof of income and employer's statement are ready. For families with children, the terraced houses are attractive, but keep in mind the limited shops within walking distance. If you are looking for social housing, 29% is owned by housing corporations, but waiting lists in Amsterdam can exceed ten years. Also consider homes for sale in Noordoever Sloterplas as an alternative, because with a WOZ value below the Amsterdam average, buying here can be relatively affordable. Be honest with yourself: if you place great value on restaurants and shops within walking distance, this is not your neighbourhood.
