Living in Buitenveldert-Zuidoost: quiet, green and well-connected

Buitenveldert-Zuidoost is nestled between the A10-Zuid and the Amstelpark, in the southern part of Amsterdam. The neighbourhood was built in the 1960s and 1970s according to the principles of the General Expansion Plan: spacious layout, plenty of greenery between the flats and wide avenues. You notice that immediately when you cycle through it. It doesn't feel like the city centre; rather, it feels like a quiet, green enclave where you almost forget you live in Amsterdam.

The homes consist largely of porch and gallery flats, often with relatively large floor plans by Amsterdam standards. Here and there are also single-family homes and some newer complexes along the Van Nijenrodeweg and the Kalfjeslaan. Many apartments have balconies overlooking the greenery, and there is plenty of that: the Gijsbrecht van Aemstelpark is just around the corner and the Amstelpark is within walking distance. Residents consistently mention that as a plus point.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is practically laid out. On the Buitenveldertselaan area you will find an Albert Heijn and various small shops. The larger Gelderlandplein shopping centre, just on the other side of the A10, is within five minutes by bike. There are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including the Cornelis Vrijschool and public schools along the Van Leijenberghlaan. For secondary education, the Amstelveen College is nearby.

Accessibility is a strong point. RAI metro station (line 52, North/South line) is within cycling distance, and tram line 5 stops along the Buitenveldertselaan. By car, you can quickly reach the ring road via the A10. The downside: during rush hour it can be busy around the slip roads, and parking is permit-only in some parts.

Residents appreciate the peace and greenery, but are less enthusiastic about the liveliness. "It's quiet here in the evenings, sometimes too quiet. There is little hospitality and nightlife you have to look for elsewhere," writes a resident on the page of Buitenveldert-Zuidoost. That fits the profile: the neighbourhood attracts people who consciously choose space and greenery over hustle and bustle. The population is mixed in age, with a large group of 25- to 45-year-olds (1,405 residents), but also a sizeable group of over-65s (765). Single-person households form the majority.

Compared to neighbouring areas such as De Klenckebuurt and Buitenveldert-Oost-Midden, Buitenveldert-Zuidoost is slightly more expensive and slightly greener. De Klenckebuurt has more of a village feel with low-rise buildings, while Buitenveldert-Oost-Midden has a bit more urban bustle. Within the broader district Buitenveldert-Oost, this part scores above average in terms of WOZ value and income.

Who is a home for sale in Buitenveldert-Zuidoost interesting for?

With an average income of €51,600 and 57% highly educated, the neighbourhood mainly attracts dual-income earners and professionals who want space without leaving Amsterdam. For first-time buyers, buying a home in Buitenveldert-Zuidoost is difficult: the entry price is around €225,000 for the smallest apartments, but most of the supply is well above that. Families find the space here that is lacking in the city centre, and seniors appreciate the amenities within walking distance. To be honest: overbidding is common here and supply is limited. Those who want to be more flexible can also look at rental homes in this neighbourhood as an intermediate solution. Buying an apartment in Buitenveldert-Zuidoost requires patience and a solid budget.
