Living in Gelderlandpleinbuurt, Amsterdam
Gelderlandpleinbuurt is a quiet, well-organised post-war neighbourhood in the south of Amsterdam, part of the district Buitenveldert-West. The streetscape is characterised by wide avenues, porch flats and gallery apartments from the 1960s and 1970s, interspersed with green strips and squares. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for spectacle, but rather for its functional tranquillity. Those who live here appreciate the predictability: spacious pavements, ample parking spaces and a clear layout.
The beating heart is Gelderlandplein, a covered shopping centre with a wide range of supermarkets, clothing shops, a pharmacy, a library and various eateries. For daily errands, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. Around the square there are also several primary schools and childcare facilities, making the neighbourhood attractive for young families. Sporty Amsterdam finds its way to the tennis courts and football fields in the immediate vicinity, and the Amsterdamse Bos is a bike ride away for those seeking more space.
Accessibility is one of its strongest assets. Tram lines 5 and 25 run through the neighbourhood and connect you to Amsterdam city centre in about twenty minutes. Metro station Zuid (lines 50 and 52) is a short bike ride away and offers a fast connection to Schiphol and the Zuidas. Via the A10 and A9, the neighbourhood is easily accessible by car. Residents therefore give accessibility an 8.0 out of 10.
The overall resident score stands at 7.8 out of 10, based on resident reviews. Safety stands out with a 9.0, which is remarkably high for an Amsterdam neighbourhood. Community and facilities each score an 8.0. Green spaces and beauty score slightly lower, at 7.0, which fits the image of a functional neighbourhood that does not have the most picturesque streets in Amsterdam. One resident describes it as: "Quiet, safe and everything within walking distance. Not the most exciting neighbourhood, but you live here very pleasantly."

Compared to neighbouring areas such as Buitenveldert-Zuidwest or Buitenveldert-Zuid-Midden, Gelderlandpleinbuurt has the advantage of the direct proximity of the shopping centre, but sometimes lacks the greener, more villa-like appearance found in other parts of Buitenveldert. Zuiderhof, for comparison, offers a slightly quieter character with less commercial bustle.
Who is a home in Gelderlandpleinbuurt suitable for?
The neighbourhood mainly attracts dual-income earners and young professionals who want good access to the Zuidas or the city centre without the hustle and bustle of the inner city. With 1,760 residents in the 25 to 45 age group, this is also visible on the streets. Families with children find primary schools and play space here, but must reckon with an average purchase price of over €625,000. First-time buyers struggle to get a foothold unless they are looking at a smaller apartment, because the lower end of the market starts around €185,000, although such properties are scarce and often involve small units. Overbidding is not uncommon in this neighbourhood. Seniors who already live in Buitenveldert and want to downsize also find a logical option here due to the ground-floor apartments and proximity to amenities.
