Living in Keizer Karelpark: an honest picture of a mixed neighbourhood
Keizer Karelpark is one of the larger neighbourhoods of Amstelveen, with over 13,000 residents and a diverse composition. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years, but there are also many seniors and families with children.

In neighbourhoods such as Kastanjebuurt and Populierenbuurt, you mainly find this type of stacked construction, while Oude Dorp has a more village-like character with more variation in housing types.
