Living in Buitenveldert-Oost-Midden, Amsterdam

Buitenveldert-Oost-Midden is a quiet, green-dominated neighbourhood in the southern part of Amsterdam, built in the 1960s and 1970s as part of the city's post-war expansion districts. The housing stock mainly consists of porch flats and gallery flats from that period, supplemented by a limited number of single-family homes. The architecture is sober and functional, but the spacious layout of the neighbourhood, with wide green strips, playgrounds and avenues, makes it a pleasant place to live.

The location is one of the neighbourhood's strongest assets. The Amsterdamse Bos is within cycling distance, and the Beatrixpark and Amstelpark are also nearby. Resident Adriana Pels-Looijen describes it aptly: "A lovely neighbourhood, very central! By tram you are in the centre of Amsterdam within half an hour. There are small and large parks everywhere and the Amsterdamse Bos is within cycling distance!" That combination of greenery and urban accessibility is what sets the neighbourhood apart.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores well. Tram line 5 runs via the Amstelveenseweg towards the centre, and Zuid metro station can be reached quickly by bike or bus.

The Gelderlandplein shopping centre, within walking distance or a short bike ride, provides for daily groceries with a wide range of supermarkets and various specialist shops. For schools, there are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, and secondary schools are easily accessible by public transport.

Single-person households form the largest household group. It is a multicultural neighbourhood that at the same time has a clear Amsterdam character, something that residents clearly appreciate.
