Homes for sale in Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt, Amsterdam

House prices and market figures for Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt, Amsterdam

The owner-occupied market in Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt is small and clear. Of the 1,410 homes in the neighbourhood, only 7% are owner-occupied; the remaining 93% are rental properties, the vast majority of which are owned by a housing association. This makes the supply of owner-occupied homes in Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt scarce and competition among buyers proportionally greater. The average WOZ value is €289,000, which is significantly lower than the average for the district Slotermeer-West (€322,000) and well below the Amsterdam average of €517,000. Yet actual transaction prices are higher: in the past twelve months, eight homes changed hands for an average purchase price of €414,375. The range ran from €395,000 to €425,000, with an average living area of 75 m². That works out to around €5,525 per square metre. These are almost exclusively porch apartments and flats from the 1950s and 1960s, characteristic of the post-war urban expansion of Nieuw-West. For current asking prices and available supply, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.

Living in Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt, Amsterdam

Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt is a down-to-earth, everyday neighbourhood in the Nieuw-West district. Driving through for the first time, you see wide streets, porch flats and some green strips in between. No trendy coffee bars, no fashionable shops, but also no anonymous dormitory town. The neighbourhood has its own rhythm, determined by a diverse, relatively young population: the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old. Families with children live here alongside single-person households, and the neighbourhood has a distinctly multicultural character.

The housing stock mainly consists of multi-family homes in porch flats, built during the reconstruction period. The apartments are generally compact but functional, with an average area of around 75 m². Gardens are scarce, but the neighbourhood borders Sloterpark, one of Amsterdam's largest parks, with a swimming beach, sports fields and space for walking. For daily shopping, you can go to the Osdorpplein shopping centre a short bike ride away, or to the shops along Burgemeester De Vlugtlaan. A GP, pharmacy and primary schools are present in or near the neighbourhood.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores moderately: residents give accessibility a 5 out of 10. Bus routes run via Burgemeester De Vlugtlaan towards Sloterdijk metro station and tram stops in the area, but a direct metro connection is lacking. By bike, you can reach Amsterdam city centre in about 25 minutes. By car, the A10 is quickly accessible via Sloterweg or Osdorpweg, which makes the neighbourhood relatively well-connected for motorists. Parking in the area is mostly free, which is a practical advantage in Amsterdam.

Residents give the neighbourhood an overall score of 5.6 out of 10, based on available reviews. Safety stands out positively with an 8.0, which is remarkably high for an Amsterdam neighbourhood in this price range. One resident writes: "The neighbourhood feels safe, neighbours know each other and there is little nuisance." Residents are less satisfied with the neighbourhood's appearance: beauty scores a 4.0, and housing and facilities also score low at 5. That honest picture fits a neighbourhood that is functional but not flattering. Read all reviews and neighbourhood data on the neighbourhood main page of Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt.

Compared to neighbouring communities such as Jan de Louterbuurt and Confuciusbuurt, Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt is similar in character: post-war construction, lots of social housing, a diverse population and a small but active owner-occupied market. Within the broader district of Slotermeer-West, WOZ values in this neighbourhood are slightly lower than the district average, which partly explains its appeal to buyers who want to live in Amsterdam without paying the highest prices.
