Living in Fannius Scholtenbuurt, Amsterdam
The Fannius Scholtenbuurt is nestled between the Westerpark and the busy Van Hallstraat, in the western part of the Staatsliedenbuurt. It is a neighbourhood with a strongly mixed character. Here you walk past stately Amsterdam building blocks from the early twentieth century, with characteristic stairwells, high ceilings and stained-glass windows. Resident Robina Spaans describes it aptly: "Quiet neighbourhood with beautiful Amsterdam buildings from around 1910. Location is great, close to the centre but also near the lovely Westerpark." This mix of old and urban defines the atmosphere.
In terms of amenities, you are well placed for daily groceries. Within walking distance you will find supermarkets on Van Hallstraat and Haarlemmerweg. The Westerpark, literally around the corner, offers space for running, walking or having a drink on a terrace at the Westergasfabriek. For education, there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity, although residents give the neighbourhood a notably low score of 3.0 out of 10 on this point. This is something to investigate carefully as a family with school-age children.
Accessibility is a point of attention. Bus stops on Haarlemmerweg and Van Hallstraat take you towards Central Station, but residents note that public transport provision has deteriorated after the scrapping of a number of lines. By bike you can reach Dam Square or Sloterdijk station in ten minutes. Parking a car, as in all of Amsterdam-West, is a challenge: paid parking and waiting lists for permits are the norm. More information about parking permits can be found on the website of the municipality of Amsterdam.
The social composition is diverse. With 1,645 residents between 25 and 45 years old, it is a young neighbourhood, and 65% of residents are highly educated. At the same time, many older residents who have lived here for decades live in social housing. According to residents, this mix creates a special sense of community, with a score of 7.6 for community. But there are also downsides. Bicycle theft is a recurring problem, and the cleanliness of public space scores a low 6.0. One resident is outright critical about nuisance and safety. To be honest, the neighbourhood does not feel equally comfortable for everyone.
Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods such as De Wittenbuurt-Noord and Buyskade and surroundings, the Fannius Scholtenbuurt is slightly rougher around the edges, but also more authentic. Those looking for the polished atmosphere of the Jordaan will need to adjust here. But those who appreciate an honest working-class neighbourhood with potential will find plenty here. On the main page of the Fannius Scholtenbuurt you can read all resident reviews and view the full neighbourhood data.

Honestly crazy! I live in the centre of little Jordan and it's really not a dream! The people outside are different than the dictionary! And the problem like all the time the 'borders'! Actually. If I want to report everything to the police I call them every day! But I have 'neighbours' with walls like head, they are really magical! All the time they are the people people! All the time willed war you want meet than you! They can try to make the food then call 112 because the other but they live in richland over the phone make noise in the nearby apartment! They are really satisfied with their integration! The one full of experience and we are the brave! Boring and all the time want pampering and dangerous for society! But yes Garden of Eden! Luckily it's forbidden now on us!
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood has a very diverse group of residents. Here, people with bought apartments live among those who often rent apartments through urgency and the social housing association. Westerpark around the corner, beautiful nature. Accessibility by public transport has worsened since the cancellation of tram line 3. I also find the range of shops very poor.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood with beautiful Amsterdam buildings from around 1910. Location is great, close to the centre but also near the lovely Westerpark. Social cohesion is also present here, older residents through social housing mixed with new residents with high incomes and owner-occupied homes. People are friendly and involved. I enjoy living here.
Auto-translated to English by AIWith a few small adjustments, we can make Staatsliedenbuurt shine again!!
Auto-translated to English by AII've only lived here for a few months and I love my apartment in a building from 1905. I have friendly neighbours with whom I share the stairwell and front door. Unfortunately, my bikes are not safe at night and they are stolen on a regular basis. Because Westerpark is exploited for a polluting commercial festival or event almost every weekend, there is not enough nature in my living environment. Furthermore, as far as I'm concerned, there could be more and different shops and such on Van Hallstraat or the beginning of Haarlemmerweg.
