Living in E-buurt, Amsterdam
E-buurt is part of the Bijlmer, the area of Amsterdam-Zuidoost built in the 1960s as a modernist residential neighbourhood on pilotis. The large, green-surrounded apartment blocks with their characteristic honeycomb structure still define the streetscape. Anyone buying a home here is buying in a neighbourhood that is very much in flux, but also has its own pace.
The character of E-buurt is urban and multicultural. Residents come from dozens of countries, and you can see this in the shops, on the streets and in the primary schools. The neighbourhood is not a quiet VINEX suburb, nor a bustling city centre. It is more a place where people simply live, do their shopping and take their children to school, without much fuss.
For daily groceries, you can go to the Ganzenhoef shopping centre, within walking distance of most homes in the neighbourhood. There you will find a supermarket, a pharmacy and a few smaller shops. For a wider range, the Amsterdam Zuidoost shopping centre (the former ArenAPoort area) is easily accessible by bike. Children in the neighbourhood attend one of the primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including schools known for their diverse population and multilingual approach.
Green space is present but limited. The neighbourhood has some parks and grass areas between the apartment blocks, but for large parks you need to go a bit further. Nelson Mandelapark, one of the larger green lungs of Amsterdam-Zuidoost, is accessible by bike and offers space for sports and relaxation.
Accessibility is one of E-buurt's strong points. Ganzenhoef metro station (line 53, the Gein line) is within walking distance and takes you to Amsterdam Central in about twenty minutes. The A9 ring road is also quickly accessible for those who work or travel by car. Residents give accessibility a 7.0, which is clearly the highest sub-score in the rating.
The overall resident score for E-buurt is 5.1 out of 10, based on reviews on the neighbourhood main page of E-buurt. Safety (4.0) and sense of community (4.0) score the lowest. One resident writes: "Accessibility is fine, but in the evening the neighbourhood doesn't always feel safe." This image recurs in the reviews: the location is practical, but liveability still has room for improvement. Housing scores a relatively good 6.0, which aligns with the affordable prices for the space you get.
Compared to neighbourhoods such as G-buurt-West and G-buurt-Noord, which are also part of the Ganzenhoef en omgeving district, E-buurt has a similar character. Prices are in the same order of magnitude, but E-buurt has slightly higher WOZ values than the district average suggests.
Who is a home in E-buurt interesting for?
E-buurt attracts buyers looking for space for their money. With an average transaction price of €586,167 and an average living area of 116 m², you get relatively many square metres by Amsterdam standards. This makes the neighbourhood attractive for young families and movers who can no longer afford the city centre. First-time buyers may find the entry level of €469,000 still achievable, but will likely have to overbid in a market with limited supply. Keep in mind that only 6 homes were sold in the past twelve months, meaning supply is scarce and transactions can happen quickly. Those who want to get to know the neighbourhood before buying can also first look at rental homes in E-buurt as a temporary step.
