Living in Diamantbuurt, Amsterdam
The Diamantbuurt is located in the southeastern part of Amsterdam-Zuid, wedged between the Pijp and the Rivierenbuurt. The neighbourhood owes its name to streets named after gemstones: Diamantstraat, Robijnstraat and Smaragdstraat give the area a recognisable character. It is a densely built, urban neighbourhood with closed building blocks from the 1920s and 1930s. Large windows, brick facades and relatively high ceilings are typical of the homes here. Space is not abundant, and you notice it: the average sold home is 63 m², which quickly feels cramped for a family.
The atmosphere in the Diamantbuurt is mixed and lively, with a diverse population. The largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and single-person households dominate. Only 21% of households are married, giving the neighbourhood a distinctly urban and individualistic character. There are many young urbanites, but also longer-term residents who know the area well. Resident Bintou describes it like this: "Residents are very friendly, communicative and good at cooperating. We organised many activities in the summer, in the community centre and with outings." This image of social cohesion and neighbourhood activities is confirmed by the community score of 6.0, but not everyone experiences it so positively. Resident Ishayra, who has lived in the neighbourhood for more than ten years, points to scarce parking spaces and not always friendly neighbours.
For daily shopping you are well served in the Diamantbuurt. At the nearby Maasplein and along the Rijnstraat you will find supermarkets, bakeries and other shops for everyday use. The Rijnstraat itself is a busy shopping street with a wide range. For a larger shopping centre, Amsterdamse Poort in Amsterdam-Zuidoost is within cycling distance. Green space is a point of concern: residents give green space a score of only 4.7 out of 10. Beatrixpark and Martin Luther Kingpark are some distance away, but there is little green space in the immediate vicinity. Schools in the neighbourhood exist, although education scores a relatively low 5.7 in the resident rating.
Accessibility is a clear strong point, with a score of 8.0. Tram lines and bus connections take you quickly to the centre of Amsterdam. Metro station Europaplein and Amsterdam RAI station are a short bike ride away, and via the A10 ring road the neighbourhood is also well accessible by car. Cyclists are in their element: the centre can be reached in twenty minutes. The overall resident rating of the Diamantbuurt comes out at 6.3 out of 10, based on three reviews. Also see all subscores and other reviews there.
If you compare the Diamantbuurt with neighbouring communities such as BurgemeesterTellegenbuurt-West or Burgemeester Tellegenbuurt-Oost, you see similar urban characteristics, but the Diamantbuurt has a slightly unique character due to the narrow streets and the mixed population composition. If you want to look more broadly within the district, you will find an overview of all owner-occupied homes in Zuid Pijp.
Does an owner-occupied home in the Diamantbuurt suit you?
The Diamantbuurt mainly appeals to young starters and singles who want to live in an urban setting without paying the absolute top prices of the Jordaan or the Grachtengordel. Yet an average of €612,000 and a price of almost €9,700 per m² are not low thresholds. If you are looking for a larger home for a family, you will find that 63 m² on average is cramped and that supply remains limited. Overbidding is not uncommon in this segment. If you are looking for an affordable entry point, it is worth also looking at the rental homes in Diamantbuurt as a temporary alternative. If you want more space or greenery, you could also look at Haarlemmerbuurt or Jordaan for a different urban atmosphere.
What residents say about the Diamantbuurt

Very nice neighbourhood. Residents are very friendly, communicative and good at cooperating. We did many activities in the summer, in the community centre and with outings. It's just that my home is small for us. Otherwise I would never want to move. I would like to continue living in this home. (Willem Passtoorstraat 36C, 1073 HZ. Amsterdam.)
