Living in Rembrandtpark-Zuid, Amsterdam
Rembrandtpark-Zuid is a compact, green neighbourhood on the west side of Amsterdam, directly bordering Rembrandtpark.

The housing stock consists mainly of post-war apartments and porch flats from the 1950s and 1960s, supplemented by some more modern apartment complexes added in recent decades. Single-family homes are scarce.
The residents are young and highly educated: more than half of the over 875 inhabitants fall into the 25 to 45 age group, 72% have a high level of education, and the labour participation rate is 78%. Single-person households form the largest group. This is not a typical family neighbourhood, but a place where young professionals and couples without children feel at home.
