Living in Lizzy Ansinghbuurt, Amsterdam
The Lizzy Ansinghbuurt is located in the heart of the Nieuwe Pijp, sandwiched between the Ruysdaelkade, the Stadhouderskade and the Amsteldijk. It is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a predominantly quiet street character behind the busy main roads. The buildings consist almost entirely of closed building blocks from the period 1880-1920, with typical Amsterdam apartment buildings: high ceilings, narrow stairwells and balconies at the rear. Many homes have since been split or merged, which explains the variation in supply.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is well-served without being excessive. The Ferdinand Bolstraat and the Van Woustraat are within walking distance and offer daily groceries at supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo, supplemented by specialist shops and eateries. Sarphatipark, one of the greener spots in the Pijp, is reachable within a five-minute walk and serves as an informal meeting place for residents. For parents with children, there are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including schools on the Ruysdaelstraat and surrounding side streets. Sports clubs and fitness centres can be found in the wider district.
Accessibility is one of the neighbourhood's strongest points. De Pijp metro station (North-South line) is about a five-minute bike ride away and takes you to Amsterdam Central in four minutes. Tram lines 4 and 24 run along the Ferdinand Bolstraat. By bike, you are in the city centre, at the Zuidas or at Amstel station within ten to fifteen minutes. Motorists are close to the A10 ring road via the Stadhouderskade, although street parking is scarce and paid.
The neighbourhood mainly attracts young professionals and couples: the 25-45 age group forms the largest group, and single-person households are by far the most common at 905. The education level is high (63% highly educated) and the average income is €45,000, slightly below the district average of €49,300. This difference is partly due to the large rental component and a younger influx. Residents appreciate the central location and the lively but not overwhelming atmosphere. One resident describes it as: "You really live in Amsterdam here without the tourist fuss, the neighbourhood has its own rhythm."

For those who want to compare the neighbourhood with its immediate neighbours: the Cornelis Troostbuurt and the Van der Helstpleinbuurt are nearby and have a similar character, but sometimes a slightly larger supply of owner-occupied homes. The Willibrordusbuurt is somewhat quieter in nature.
Who is a home for sale in Lizzy Ansinghbuurt interesting for?
Buying in Lizzy Ansinghbuurt is reserved for buyers with a solid budget and patience. With an average transaction price of over €663,000 and only 17 sales in a year, supply is limited and competition for well-priced properties is fierce. Overbidding is not uncommon in this market. The neighbourhood best suits young dual-income couples or movers who value urban living, good public transport connections and proximity to Sarphatipark. Families with multiple children may find the available floor areas cramped. Those unsure whether buying is the right time can also look at rental homes in Lizzy Ansinghbuurt as a temporary alternative. Keep in mind that VvE contributions and possible ground lease can increase monthly costs.
