Living in Bijlmermuseum-Zuid, Amsterdam

Bijlmermuseum-Zuid is a neighbourhood that leaves no one neutral. The large, honeycomb-like apartment blocks from the 1970s are still largely intact here, and that is precisely what makes the neighbourhood special. While other parts of the Bijlmer were extensively demolished and rebuilt in the 1990s and beyond, this area has been deliberately preserved as urban heritage. This gives Bijlmermuseum-Zuid a unique, almost timeless character that you won't find anywhere else in Amsterdam.

The neighbourhood consists mainly of high-rise flats with large shared inner areas, greenery and space between the buildings. Well-known complexes such as Kleiburg (now renovated into owner-occupied apartments) define the streetscape. The public space is generously laid out, with plenty of greenery, footpaths and cycle routes connecting the buildings. It feels more spacious than most Amsterdam neighbourhoods, but also less lively at street level.

For daily shopping, you can go to the supermarkets in and around Amsterdamse Poort shopping centre, within walking distance or a short bike ride. This shopping centre also offers a wide range of shops, eateries and services. For children, there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity, and Nelson Mandelapark is nearby as a green escape. Sports clubs and community centres are present, although the offering is more modest than in more central districts.

Accessibility is one of the neighbourhood's strongest points. Kraaiennest metro station (lines 53 and 54) is within walking distance and takes you to Bijlmer ArenA station in about ten minutes, and from there to Amsterdam city centre in less than a quarter of an hour. The A2 and A9 motorways are quickly accessible for drivers. Parking is generally not a problem, which is exceptional for Amsterdam.

The residents of Bijlmermuseum-Zuid form a diverse community, with many young adults between 25 and 45 and relatively many single-person households. The average income level of €24,900 is below the Amsterdam average, which partly explains the affordable purchase prices. Residents appreciate the space, accessibility and low prices, but also mention that the neighbourhood sometimes feels less lively than other Amsterdam districts. One resident writes: "It's quiet and green here, and affordable for Amsterdam. But you have to like it being quiet on the street in the evening."
