What does a home in Landlust cost?
The owner-occupied market in Landlust is relatively small: only 29% of the more than 9,800 homes are owner-occupied, while 71% are rental properties (of which 42% are owned by housing corporations).

The average floor area of sold homes is 59 m², which clearly shows that apartments dominate the market here.

Living in Landlust: from problem neighbourhood to sought-after area in Amsterdam-West
Landlust has undergone a major transformation over the past ten to fifteen years. Resident J.C. describes it aptly: "This is a neighborhood that has improved a lot in the last 10 years. The buurt is quiet but still quite lively with a perfect combination of young professionals and families." This mix is reflected in the figures: the largest age group is 25 to 45 years old (8,340 residents), and more than half of households are single-person. Yet families also live here, and the atmosphere is multicultural and social. Resident Suzanna gives the neighbourhood an 8.6 and calls it "quiet and safe", while Iancu, who has lived there his whole life, writes: "There is plenty to do, just outside the city centre so there are few tourists. People really live here." On the Landlust neighbourhood page, residents rate the neighbourhood an average of 7.0, with notably high scores for safety (7.8) and green spaces (7.8).
In terms of amenities, you are well catered for. Along the Bos en Lommerweg and Jan van Galenstraat you will find various supermarkets (Lidl, Albert Heijn, Turkish and Moroccan speciality shops), eateries and small shops. Erasmuspark and Westerpark are within walking or short cycling distance and offer space to relax. For children, there are primary schools such as Corantijnschool and Bos en Lommer Schoolvereniging, although the score for education at 6.2 is not the neighbourhood's strongest point. Resident James notes that the nearby Marcanti College struggles with inexperienced teachers, something for parents to bear in mind. Sports enthusiasts can go to Sportpark Ookmeer (a bit further away) or Sloterparkbad.
Accessibility is reasonable, with a 6.8 from residents. Tram lines 7 and 13 run through the neighbourhood towards the city centre, and Amsterdam Sloterdijk station is within cycling distance for train and metro. The A10-West is nearby for motorists. By bike, you can reach the Jordaan or Oud-West in five minutes. Within Landlust, the atmosphere varies by area: the Erasmusparkbuurt-Oost is popular due to its location by the park, while Landlust-Noord and Landlust-Zuid have more of a working-class neighbourhood character. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Amsterdam.
Is Landlust right for you as a buyer?
Buying a home in Landlust is particularly interesting for young professionals and first-time buyers looking to buy an apartment in Amsterdam-West, without the top prices of the Grachtengordel or Haarlemmerbuurt. With an average income of €38,500 in the neighbourhood, financing is a challenge for many residents, especially now that overbidding is still common. In addition to the purchase price, factor in additional costs: transfer tax (2% or 0% for first-time buyers under certain conditions), notary and valuation costs. Supply is limited due to the high proportion of rental properties. If you cannot find a home to buy, also check out the rental properties in Landlust as an alternative. Families should carefully consider the available floor area, because with an average of 59 m², most homes are not spacious.

Everything has been renovated. Quiet and safe neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIThis is a neighborhood that has improved a lot in the last 10 years. The buurt is quiet but still quite lively with a perfect combination of young professionals and families. You can reach Oud-West and Jordaan in 5 minutes by bike. Walking distance to Erasmus-Park and Westerpak. Very hip and with a sense of community.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in this neighbourhood my whole life and it's fantastic! There's plenty to do, just outside the city centre so there are few tourists. People really live here, there are many parks nearby and plenty of amenities! House prices aren't great, but if you live here, I think this is one of the simplest yet nicest neighbourhoods in the city. I work in a bakery in the neighbourhood myself, so I see hundreds of people from the area every weekend; they're healthy and fun people. I'm very proud of my neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII have experienced violence but very little. I have lovely social neighbours, the people are kind. I have never experienced racism or discrimination in the neighbourhood. I gave a failing grade for Education because, for example, the Marcanti College next to the neighbourhood has only inexperienced teachers and rude students.
