Living in Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid, Amsterdam
Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid is located in the heart of Osdorp, a post-war garden city in Amsterdam Nieuw-West. The neighbourhood was built according to the principles of light, air and space: wide avenues, plenty of greenery between the flats and a mix of porch flats from the 1960s and more recent new-build apartments. In recent years, significant investment has been made in renovation and new construction, so alongside the classic gallery flats you will also find modern rental homes. The atmosphere is urban but not hectic. It is a neighbourhood with a lot of diversity, both in terms of residents and types of homes.
Shops, schools and amenities within walking distance
One of the strongest points of Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid is the proximity of amenities, and residents confirm this: the sub-score for amenities is 8.2, the highest of all categories. Osdorpplein shopping centre is within walking distance and offers, among others, an Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Action and various specialist shops. Resident Peter notes: "A wealth of educational opportunities, supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo." There are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including schools on Hoekenes and Tussen Meer. For secondary education, the Calandlyceum is nearby. Sports facilities are also plentiful: De Mirandabad swimming pool is a bike ride away, and there are sports fields and playgrounds scattered throughout the neighbourhood.
Accessibility: metro, bus and motorway nearby
Accessibility scores an 8.0 from residents, and rightly so. Osdorp De Aker metro station (line 50/51, now line M50/M51 towards Isolatorweg and Station Zuid) is within walking or cycling distance. Several bus lines stop along Meer and Osdorpplein, taking you to Amsterdam Central in 25 to 30 minutes. By car, you can quickly reach the motorway via the A4 and A10-West towards Schiphol (about 15 minutes), The Hague or Haarlem. Cycling to the city centre takes about 30 to 40 minutes. Parking is a point of concern: resident JF explicitly mentions that there is "very little parking space." In parts of the neighbourhood, paid parking applies, and free spaces are scarce.
Honest picture: what residents appreciate and criticise
The average resident rating is 6.6 based on 4 reviews. That is not a top scorer, and residents are honest about it. The scores for community spirit (5.8), housing (5.5) and beauty (5.2) are the lowest. Nadia writes: "There are so often bombs and explosions. And a lot of rubbish thrown on the ground. Constant arguments. Many young people with fitbikes." That paints a less rosy picture of safety and liveability in some places. At the same time, residents appreciate the practical side: everything is nearby, public transport is good, and investment is being made in the neighbourhood. Resident JF sums it up: "One aspect is simply a bit less good (...) Other areas are really great, everything is nearby."

Hardly any Dutch shops... mostly Muslim. On Tussenmeer 85 there is a squatter's pro-Palestine building... while everything is being done in the neighbourhood to make it nice. The building is full of Palestine flags and hate texts. We want more Dutch shops... For the rest... nice area for walking and cycling. The city is accessible from all sides and everything is well reachable. All shops are present.
Auto-translated to English by AIAdequate/average (not bad, but not fantastic either. Just normal), it's not the best, but no neighbourhood is; things can always change/improve. Plenty of educational opportunities, supermarkets like Albert Heijn and Jumbo, a bit further (15 minutes walk) there's also the centre with all sorts of other amenities such as shops, supermarkets, ice cream shops, restaurants, etc. Many playgrounds, so really family-friendly. However, I must admit that there is little parking space, possibly due to these amenities. Hygiene could also be better; there is often some rubbish on the ground that doesn't belong there, like cans etc. Housing: there are many homes and houses in the neighbourhood, also with private and shared garages, so really great.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are so often bombs and explosions. And a lot of rubbish thrown on the ground. Constant arguments. Many young people with fitbikes. Almost got run over.
Auto-translated to English by AIVaried. I can't describe it with one word because in some areas it differs greatly from another. One aspect is simply a bit less good, for example there is very little parking space. Other areas are really great, everything is nearby, much is within walking distance, think schools, supermarkets, city centre, restaurants etc. That there is little greenery is not surprising when you live in a neighbourhood. Hygiene could also be better in my opinion, there are many things always on the street while there is a bin just 1 metre away.
