Living in Arondeusbuurt, Amsterdam

Arondeusbuurt is a quiet, somewhat subdued urban neighbourhood in the western part of Amsterdam, part of Slotermeer-Noordoost. The neighbourhood is named after resistance fighter Willem Arondeus and is situated between Burgemeester Röellstraat, Jan Tooropstraat and the Slotervaart. The streetscape is defined by sober post-war construction: porch flats, gallery flats and a few terraced houses, built during the reconstruction period of the 1950s. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural highlights, but rather for a certain calm and clarity that you won't quickly find in busier Amsterdam neighbourhoods.

The population composition is diverse. With 2,740 residents and a strong representation of the 25 to 45 age group, there is a mix of young families, single-person households and long-term residents. The percentage of married people is 27%, which is relatively low for a neighbourhood with so many families with children (630 residents under 15). The average income of €29,700 is close to the district average but well below the Amsterdam average, which accurately reflects the social composition of the neighbourhood.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is functionally laid out. Within walking distance you will find an Albert Heijn on Jan Tooropstraat and several small neighbourhood supermarkets and toko's. Primary schools such as De Vlinderboom and other schools in the immediate vicinity serve the families in the area. Sloterpark, one of Amsterdam's larger city parks with the Sloterplas beach, is within cycling distance and is popular in the summer. For sporty residents, there are football fields and playgrounds in the area around Burgemeester Röellstraat.

Accessibility is reasonable, although Arondeusbuurt is not the best-connected place in Amsterdam. Metro line 50 (the ring line) stops at Isolatorweg station and De Vlugtlaan station, both within cycling distance. From De Vlugtlaan, you can reach Amsterdam Central Station in about ten minutes by metro. Several bus lines connect the neighbourhood with the city centre and surrounding districts. By car, the A10 is quickly accessible via Burgemeester Röellstraat. Parking is still relatively easy in most streets, although pressure is slowly increasing.

Residents appreciate the tranquillity and green surroundings, but are also honest about what is lacking. One resident writes: "It is pleasantly quiet here and you have everything you need within cycling distance, but it lacks some liveliness and the homes are outdated." This image recurs in the reviews: the neighbourhood is pleasant to live in, but sometimes requires patience when it comes to maintenance of public spaces and the quality of the homes themselves. Read all reviews on the Arondeusbuurt neighbourhood page.

Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods such as Coronelbuurt and Dobbebuurt, Arondeusbuurt has a similar character, although the housing mix varies per street. Meerwaldtbuurt also borders the same post-war stamp. Those looking for more urban dynamism would do better to look at neighbourhoods such as Haarlemmerbuurt or the Jordaan, but will pay significantly more there as well.

Who is a home in Arondeusbuurt interesting for?

Arondeusbuurt mainly appeals to first-time buyers and young families looking for an affordable owner-occupied home in Amsterdam without paying a premium for a canal house. With an average purchase price of €383,846 and a lower limit of €335,000, buying in Arondeusbuurt is more realistic than in many other Amsterdam neighbourhoods. However, supply is limited: only a handful of homes are sold per year, so overbidding and acting quickly is the reality. Upsizers looking for more space will rarely find large homes here. Those unsure whether buying is feasible now can also look at rental homes in Arondeusbuurt as a temporary alternative, although the waiting time for social housing is long.

What residents say about Arondeusbuurt

Lower scores are given for the appearance of public spaces and the level of amenities. One resident aptly describes it: "Nice and quiet living, good neighbours, but the neighbourhood could do with a bit more attention from the municipality." More reviews and a full overview of the sub-scores can be found on the neighbourhood page of Arondeusbuurt, including scores per category such as safety, green spaces and atmosphere.
