Living in Heldenbuurt, Amstelveen
Heldenbuurt is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the southwest of Amstelveen, part of the Bankras Kostverloren district. The street names are named after Dutch resistance heroes from the Second World War, giving the neighbourhood a unique identity that you won't easily forget. The housing stock largely dates from the 1960s and 1970s: predominantly porch flats and gallery apartments, supplemented by terraced houses. The architecture is functional and sober, but the space between the buildings and the greenery make up for a lot.
Those living in Heldenbuurt have the Bovenkerkerpolder and the Amsterdamse Bos within cycling distance. In the neighbourhood itself, there are playgrounds and smaller green strips that make daily life pleasant, especially for families with young children. For daily shopping, the Bankras shopping centre is within walking distance, with a supermarket and a handful of shops for everyday needs. For a larger range of shops, the Stadshart of Amstelveen is easily accessible, a few minutes away by bike or bus.
In terms of education, there are primary schools available in and directly around the neighbourhood, although residents give the education score a 6.0, indicating that the offering is functional but not particularly broad. For secondary education, students rely on schools elsewhere in Amstelveen or Amsterdam. Amenities also score a 6.0, which is fair: the neighbourhood has the essentials, but is not a hub of facilities.
Accessibility is good. Bus line 166 and other lines connect Heldenbuurt with the centre of Amstelveen and with Amsterdam. The sneltram (line 25) is within cycling distance via stops in the area, and takes you to Amsterdam Central in about twenty minutes. For motorists, the A9 is quickly accessible, making the location favourable for Schiphol and the Amsterdam ring road. Residents give accessibility an 8.0, and that feels realistic.
Safety and community spirit are the real trump cards of Heldenbuurt. Residents appreciate the quiet, orderly streets and know their neighbours.

Is an owner-occupied home in Heldenbuurt right for you?

First-time buyers will find it difficult: with an average sale price of €620,000 and a lower limit of €375,000, there is little in the entry-level segment, and overbidding is not uncommon in Amstelveen.
