Living in Jan de Louterbuurt, Amsterdam

The Jan de Louterbuurt is located in the heart of Slotermeer-West, in Amsterdam Nieuw-West. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1950s and 1960s as part of the General Expansion Plan by Cornelis van Eesteren. This is reflected in the urban layout: strip development with three- to four-storey porch flats, plenty of greenery between the blocks and wide avenues. The Jan de Louterstraat and Jan Evertsenstraat form the main axes. Here and there, homes have been renovated or replaced by new builds, resulting in a mix of post-war architecture and more modern additions.

In terms of atmosphere, it is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood with a diverse population. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years (over 1,150 residents), but there are also many families with children and elderly people. Single-person households form the majority, which fits with the large share of apartments. The average income of €30,400 is below the Amsterdam average but above that of the district. The labour participation rate is 57%.

Facilities are well in order. Shopping centre Plein 40-45 is within walking distance and offers an Albert Heijn, Lidl, Kruidvat and various specialist shops. Along the Jan Evertsenstraat you will find smaller shops, eateries and a library. For primary education, there are several schools in the immediate vicinity, including the Slotermeerschool. Sloterpark and Sloterplas are within cycling distance and offer space for running, swimming and picnicking. Sportpark Sloten is nearby for those who want to join a football or hockey club.

Accessibility is excellent. Jan van Galenstraat metro station (line 50) and the tram stops along Jan Evertsenstraat (lines 7 and 13) take you to Amsterdam Central in about twenty minutes. By car, you are quickly on the A10 West. Bus routes to Schiphol and Haarlem stop in the neighbourhood. Cycling to the city centre takes you a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes.

Residents appreciate the greenery and relative peace, but are more critical of social safety and the maintenance of public spaces. One resident writes: "Nice neighbourhood to live in, lots of greenery and good public transport connections. It's a shame there's sometimes litter on the streets and that you'd better watch your step in some places in the evening." Compared to neighbouring areas such as the Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt and the Confuciusbuurt, the Jan de Louterbuurt is slightly greener and more spacious in layout, but the facilities are similar.
