Living in Oranjebuurt, Amstelveen
When you first drive into Oranjebuurt, you immediately notice that it has a different scale from the rest of Amstelveen. Wide, tree-lined streets, deep front gardens, detached houses from the 1950s and 1960s, and a striking silence for a neighbourhood so close to the ring road. It is one of the older residential areas of the municipality, with buildings ranging from solid brick villas to some more modern infills where demolition and rebuilding have taken place. The neighbourhood has no shopping street, no hospitality venues on the corner, and no busy through road. That is exactly what many residents are looking for here.
In terms of amenities, Oranjebuurt relies on the nearby facilities of Amstelveen. Stadshart is within cycling distance, offering a full range of shops including supermarkets, specialist stores and eateries. For daily groceries, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood towards the adjacent districts. Schools in the immediate vicinity are available for both primary and secondary education; Amstelveen has a wide range of schools with good reputations, partly due to the international community the city is home to. For sports, tennis clubs, a golf course and various sports associations are accessible in the wider Amstelveen area.
Accessibility is good, although the neighbourhood is primarily car- and bike-friendly. The A9 and A10 motorways are reachable within minutes, providing quick connections to Amsterdam, Schiphol and the rest of the Randstad. By bus, you can reach the metro stops of Amsterdam Zuidoost or Amsterdam Zuid, from where you can take the national rail network. Amstelveen does not have its own train station, but the light rail connection towards Amsterdam is a common alternative. By bike, you can be in the centre of Amstelveen or at the Amsterdam ring road within a quarter of an hour.
Residents appreciate the peace, space and green character of the neighbourhood. A frequently heard comment in the reviews on the Oranjebuurt neighbourhood page is that it feels like living outside the city while being right in the middle of it. One resident writes: "You really get the feeling of a quiet, green residential area here, but Amsterdam is just around the corner. That combination is unmatched anywhere else." Critical notes sometimes concern the limited walking distance to daily amenities and the fact that you need a car or bike for almost everything. Compared to Elsrijk or Randwijck, Oranjebuurt is more exclusive and quieter, but also less lively at street level. The broader district Patrimonium offers more variety in housing types and price levels for those wanting more choice.
Who is a home in Oranjebuurt suitable for?
Oranjebuurt is not a neighbourhood for first-time buyers. With an average purchase price of over €1.4 million and a WOZ value close to that, this is emphatically a neighbourhood for movers with substantial equity or a high income, as the figures confirm: the average income per resident is €90,100. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years old, and families with children are the most common household type. That says something about the residents who consciously choose this: people looking for space, peace and a stable living environment for the long term. Be aware of the limited supply: on average, fewer than ten homes are sold per year, so when something becomes available, quick action is required. If you find the neighbourhood attractive but your budget falls just short, you can also look at rental homes in Oranjebuurt or similar homes for sale elsewhere in Amstelveen.
