House prices and market figures for Alpen Rondwegbuurt, Amstelveen

The owner-occupied market in Alpen Rondwegbuurt is small but active. Of the 714 homes in the neighbourhood, only 16% are owner-occupied, while 83% are rented, largely through housing associations. This makes the supply of owner-occupied homes in Alpen Rondwegbuurt scarce: in the past twelve months, seven homes changed hands, with an average purchase price of €593,714.

The average WOZ value is €407,000. That is lower than the average for the district Groenelaan (€405,000, comparable) and clearly below the municipal average for Amstelveen (€528,000).

Living in Alpen Rondwegbuurt, Amstelveen

Alpen Rondwegbuurt is located in the southwest of Amstelveen, sandwiched between the Rondweg and the residential areas that stretch towards Schiphol. The neighbourhood has a strong social character: 76% of the housing stock is owned by housing corporations, and this is visible in the streetscapes. Many flats and porch-access apartments from the 1960s and 1970s dominate the scene, interspersed with terraced houses. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its architectural appeal, but rather for its close-knit, diverse population composition.

With 1,615 residents, it is a relatively small neighbourhood. The largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and families with children are the most common household type. This gives the neighbourhood a certain liveliness during the day, with children on the streets and an active environment. At the same time, there is a significant group of over-65s (340 people), which gives the neighbourhood a mixed character.

In terms of amenities, Alpen Rondwegbuurt is reasonably self-sufficient. Supermarkets and primary schools are within cycling distance, and the Stadshart Amstelveen shopping centre can be reached within ten minutes. For daily groceries, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. There are playgrounds and green strips in the immediate vicinity, although it is not a neighbourhood with extensive parks. Residents looking for more green space cycle to the nearby Amsterdamse Bos.

Accessibility is one of its stronger points. Via the Rondweg and the connection to the A9, you are quickly on the motorway towards Amsterdam or Schiphol. For public transport, bus lines run to the centre of Amstelveen and to Amsterdam. The metro (line 51) is within cycling distance and takes you to the centre of Amsterdam in about twenty minutes. This makes the neighbourhood attractive for people who work in the city but want to live outside it.

Residents appreciate the tranquillity and central location. On the neighbourhood homepage for Alpen Rondwegbuurt you will find all resident reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "It is quiet here and the neighbours know each other, but the supply of owner-occupied homes is very limited. When something becomes available, you have to act quickly." That picture matches the market figures: seven transactions in a year says enough. Criticism sometimes focuses on the outdated appearance of parts of the neighbourhood and the limited supply of eateries in the immediate vicinity.

Compared to sister neighbourhoods in the Groenelaan district, Alpen Rondwegbuurt has a slightly more accessible entry level in terms of WOZ value, although realised selling prices are high. Neighbourhoods such as Langerhuize and In de Wolkenbuurt offer a different type of housing and sometimes more supply of owner-occupied homes. Watercirkelbuurt and Kringloopbuurt are also worth exploring if you are flexible in your search area. For a broader picture of owner-occupied homes in the Groenelaan district, you can also consult the district page.

Who is a home for sale in Alpen Rondwegbuurt interesting for?

The neighbourhood mainly attracts young families and dual-income couples who want to avoid the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam but still want to be able to get there quickly. The average income in the neighbourhood (€31,200) is much lower than the municipal average for Amstelveen (€50,600), but the purchase prices, with an average of almost €594,000, are clearly in the higher segment. This makes buying a home in Alpen Rondwegbuurt reserved for buyers with a substantial budget or equity. First-time buyers without their own capital will find it difficult. Be prepared for limited supply and possible overbidding. If you are more flexible, you can also look at rental homes in Alpen Rondwegbuurt as an alternative, although that supply is also scarce for private rental. The municipality of Amstelveen provides more information about housing policy and social housing in the region via amstelveen.nl.
