House prices and market figures for Bellamybuurt-Zuid, Amsterdam

Of the more than 2,400 homes in the neighbourhood, only 23% are owner-occupied, while 77% are rented out, a large proportion of which through housing associations. This makes the supply of owner-occupied homes in Bellamybuurt-Zuid scarce, and scarcity has an impact on prices.

Living in Bellamybuurt-Zuid, Amsterdam
Bellamybuurt-Zuid is located in the western part of Amsterdam, wedged between the Kinkerstraat, the Ten Katestraat and the Bilderdijkstraat. It is a densely populated, urban neighbourhood with a distinct character: many brick apartment buildings from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, narrow streets, a lively mix of local shops and eateries, and a population that is predominantly young and highly educated. Over 63% of residents have a higher professional or university education, and the largest age group, about 1,940 people, falls between 25 and 45 years old. You notice that in the neighbourhood: it is not a quiet residential area but a place where people live actively.
The Ten Katestraat plays a central role in daily life. The market at the Ten Katemarkt attracts residents from the entire surrounding area several times a week. Supermarkets, bakeries, greengrocers and small speciality shops are within walking distance. The Kinkerstraat offers a wide range of shops for daily groceries and more. For greenery, you have to cycle a few minutes towards the Vondelpark or the Rembrandtpark, because the neighbourhood itself is densely built-up and has little public green space. That is a point that residents regularly mention as an area for improvement.
Accessibility is good. Tram lines 7 and 17 run via the Kinkerstraat and connect the neighbourhood quickly with the city centre and Amsterdam Central. By bike, you are in the heart of the city in ten to fifteen minutes. By car, the Ring A10 is accessible via the Kostverlorenkade, although parking in the neighbourhood is a daily challenge. Paid parking applies almost everywhere here, and a private parking space with a home is a rarity.
Residents appreciate the liveliness and central location, but are critical of the hustle and bustle and parking pressure. One resident aptly described it: "You have everything within reach, but peace and space you really have to look for." That sums up the atmosphere well. See all experiences and scores on the neighbourhood main page of Bellamybuurt-Zuid, where residents give their opinions on safety, greenery and facilities, among other things.
Compared to Bellamybuurt-Noord, the southern part is slightly livelier and more commercial in character, with more eateries and shops at street level. Those considering a broader orientation can also look at the supply in the Jordaan or the Haarlemmerbuurt, neighbourhoods with a similar urban profile but sometimes a different price level or type of home.
Who is a home in Bellamybuurt-Zuid interesting for?
The neighbourhood mainly attracts young dual-income couples and singles who want to live in an urban setting without being far from the centre. The high proportion of single-person households, more than 1,500 of the more than 2,400 homes, confirms that picture. Families with children find the neighbourhood less obvious: the homes are on average small (55 m²), there is little greenery in the immediate vicinity and the hustle and bustle on the street is not pleasant for everyone. Primary schools are accessible in the surrounding districts, but the neighbourhood itself is compact.
To be honest: buying a home in Bellamybuurt-Zuid requires a realistic budget. With an average sale price of over €510,000 and a narrow floor of €300,000 for the cheapest homes, this is not a market for first-time buyers with a limited mortgage. Overbidding is common in this segment. Those who want to explore the neighbourhood without buying immediately can also look at the rental homes in Bellamybuurt-Zuid as an intermediate step.
