Living between Beatrixpark and the Zuidas: what does this neighbourhood really feel like?

The Prinses Irenebuurt and surrounding area is nestled between the Beatrixpark and the business bustle of the Zuidas. This creates a remarkable contrast. During the day, suits walk along the Buitenveldertselaan, but as soon as you turn into the side streets towards the Prinses Irene- or Prinses Margrietstraat, it is strikingly quiet. It is a neighbourhood where you know your neighbours, where children cycle on the street, and where the greenery of the park is never far away. On the neighbourhood page with resident reviews you can read that residents particularly appreciate the peace and greenery, but are also honest about the downside: the neighbourhood is not lively. There are few shops, no cosy local café around the corner, and for groceries you quickly have to head towards the Gelderlandplein or the Beethovenstraat.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores well. Amsterdam Zuid station is within walking distance, with direct connections to Schiphol, Utrecht and The Hague. The tram on the De Boelelaan takes you to the city centre in fifteen minutes. Those living in the area around the Beatrixpark literally have the park as their back garden. Runners, dog owners and parents with young children use it daily. The Prinses Irenebuurt itself largely consists of spacious single-family homes and apartments from the 1960s and 1970s, partly renovated, partly still in original condition.

The population composition is telling: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years (355 residents), followed by 25 to 45-year-olds (320) and those over 65 (315). With 220 children under 15, it is certainly also a family neighbourhood, but the ageing is noticeable. The average income of €85,100 is well above the Amsterdam average. 72% of residents are highly educated. It is a neighbourhood of dual-income households, professionals and retirees who consciously choose the combination of peace and accessibility. One resident summed it up aptly: "You actually live here in a village, but you are at the Dam in ten minutes."
