Living in Randwijck Oost, Amstelveen

Randwijck Oost is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the southwest of Amstelveen, directly bordering the Amsterdam city limits. The neighbourhood largely consists of post-war buildings from the 1950s and 1960s: porch flats, single-family homes and detached houses in a well-thought-out urban plan with plenty of greenery in between. Later additions have increased the variety, but the character remains predominantly quiet and residential, without the hustle and bustle of a city centre.

The average household income is €56,000 per year, slightly lower than the district average of €61,700 but well above the Amstelveen average of €50,600. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years (over 1,200 of the 3,780 residents), with a mix of young families and dual-income earners. Single-person households are the most common household type (740), and 35% of residents are married. This gives the neighbourhood a mixed but predominantly adult character.

Facilities in Randwijck Oost

Daily shopping can be done in the neighbourhood at the shops along Amstelveense Weg or at the nearby Stadshart shopping centre, within cycling distance. For a larger supermarket, you can quickly drive to Albert Heijn or Jumbo in adjacent districts. Primary schools are available in and around the neighbourhood; secondary schools are also within cycling distance. Sports enthusiasts are well catered for: there are various sports clubs active in Amstelveen, and the Amsterdamse Bos begins virtually at the back door of the neighbourhood. Walking, jogging and cycling through the forest is a daily routine for many Randwijck Oost residents. Hospitality venues are limited within the neighbourhood itself, but the Stadshart of Amstelveen offers a wide range within a short distance.

Accessibility of Randwijck Oost

The location of Randwijck Oost is one of its strongest assets. Via the Amstelveense Weg or the A9, you are quickly on the motorway towards Amsterdam, Schiphol or the A10 ring road. By car, you can be in Amsterdam-Zuid or at Schiphol in ten to fifteen minutes. Public transport is also good: several bus lines connect the neighbourhood with Amsterdam Zuid WTC and the metro network. The North-South line is accessible via station Zuid, from where you can reach the centre of Amsterdam in a few minutes. By bike, you can cycle via the Amsterdamse Bos or the Amstelveense Weg to De Pijp or Oud-Zuid in about twenty to twenty-five minutes. Parking is still relatively easy in large parts of the neighbourhood, although pressure increases closer to the border with Amsterdam.

Is renting in Randwijck Oost right for you?

The average free-sector rent of €2,839 per month is substantial, but realistic given the location and living comfort.
