House prices and market figures Kolenkitbuurt-Zuid, Amsterdam
The owner-occupied market in Kolenkitbuurt-Zuid is relatively small: only 25% of the more than 1,077 homes are owner-occupied, the rest are rented, largely through housing associations.

The WOZ value is €460,000. That is higher than the average for the broader district De Kolenkit (€419,000), but remains well below the Amsterdam average of €517,000.

Living in Kolenkitbuurt-Zuid, Amsterdam
Kolenkitbuurt-Zuid is located in the Bos en Lommer district, west of Amsterdam city centre. The neighbourhood has an urban, mixed character: it is not a quiet residential area, but nor is it a busy city centre. The buildings largely date from the 1930s and 1940s, with closed building blocks, porch flats and a limited number of larger apartments. Streets such as the Bos en Lommerweg and the area around Bos en Lommerplein largely define the neighbourhood's appearance.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is well provided for. Bos en Lommerplein, within walking distance, has a supermarket, a pharmacy and various shops for daily groceries. For sports, there are several sports clubs and a sports hall in the immediate vicinity. Primary schools are present in the neighbourhood, which explains the score for education (8.0). Those looking for more greenery need to cycle a bit: Rembrandtpark is accessible, but within the neighbourhood itself there is little nature. Residents therefore give greenery a low score of 5.7, and the neighbourhood's appearance also scores the lowest of all categories at 5.3.
Accessibility is remarkably strong. Residents give this a 9.7, the highest sub-score. Bos en Lommer metro station (line 50) is within walking distance and takes you to Amsterdam Central Station in a quarter of an hour. Several tram lines and bus connections reinforce the transport links. By car, the A10 is quickly accessible via the Bos en Lommerweg. Cyclists have a direct connection to the city centre and towards Sloterdijk.
The neighbourhood has a diverse population, with a clear concentration of 25- to 45-year-olds (over 42% of residents). Single-person households are the largest category. This characterises the profile: young urbanites, working people, those who combine the tranquillity of a residential area with proximity to the city. The average income of €34,300 is below the Amsterdam average of €44,276, reflecting the social diversity of the neighbourhood.
Residents rate the neighbourhood an average of 7.4 out of 10. Linde writes: "I find Bos en Lommer very nice to live in, it is easily accessible and close to the city centre and my school. I never really feel unsafe, even at night, and there is plenty to do. The only thing I regret is that there isn't much nature in the neighbourhood." That is an honest picture: the location and safety (8.0) are strong, the green and visual quality less so. Another resident makes critical remarks about social cohesion: people would put little effort into each other and do not always keep the neighbourhood clean. More resident reviews and all neighbourhood data can be found on the neighbourhood main page of Kolenkitbuurt-Zuid.
Compared to neighbouring areas such as Kolenkitbuurt-Noord and Laan van Spartaan, Kolenkitbuurt-Zuid has a slightly higher WOZ value, which is partly related to its location closer to Bos en Lommerplein and the good public transport connections. Robert Scottbuurt-West offers a different character and may be worth comparing if you are looking for more greenery or a quieter street.
Who is a home in Kolenkitbuurt-Zuid interesting for?
Living in Kolenkitbuurt-Zuid mainly attracts young professionals and couples who want to live centrally without paying the highest Amsterdam prices. First-time buyers should take into account an entry price from around €415,000 and an average of nearly €585,000, which for many first-time buyers is only achievable with a high income or substantial equity elsewhere. Families looking for plenty of greenery and space may find the neighbourhood too compact. A practical point of attention: supply is limited due to the low percentage of owner-occupied homes (25%), so respond quickly when something becomes available. Those who want to orient themselves first or want to remain flexible can also look at rental homes in Kolenkitbuurt-Zuid as a temporary or alternative option.

My experience is good
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience is: that the people don't get along with each other, don't want to make an effort for each other and don't know how to keep your neighbourhood clean and that is the problem of my neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AII really like living in Bos en Lommer, it's easily accessible and close to the centre and my school. I never really feel unsafe, even at night, and there's plenty to do. The only thing I regret is that there isn't much nature in the neighbourhood; I wouldn't quickly go for a nice walk, which I did in Friesland. Also, it's not always very clean, there's a lot of litter on the ground.
