What does a home cost in Osdorp-Oost?
The owner-occupied market in Osdorp-Oost is strikingly different from many other Amsterdam neighbourhoods. Only 25% of the housing stock is owner-occupied, the rest is rental, of which more than half is owned by housing corporations. This limits supply but makes prices relatively attractive compared to the rest of Amsterdam. The average WOZ value is €356,000, well below the Amsterdam average of €517,000. However, actual transaction prices are higher: in the past year, 176 homes changed hands for an average of €485,077, with a range from €250,000 to €1,245,000. Most owner-occupied homes are apartments in the typical Western Garden Cities style, although some larger single-family homes are also available.

Living in Osdorp-Oost: spacious, green and surprisingly complete
Osdorp-Oost is a neighbourhood you have to experience to understand why residents are so satisfied. On the neighbourhood page of Osdorp-Oost, the average resident rating is 8.2 out of 10, and that is no coincidence. Resident Gert sums it up succinctly: "The neighbourhood is nicely laid out with lots of green space, open waterways, excellent amenities, perfect public transport, plenty of parking. It doesn't get better than this in Amsterdam and thankfully still tourist-free." That space is indeed the first thing you notice. The wide avenues, the greenery along the Sloterplas and the open layout give Osdorp-Oost a completely different feel from the densely built city centre.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood scores highly. Shopping centre Osdorpplein, in the Osdorpplein and surroundings area, offers an Albert Heijn, Lidl, Kruidvat and various specialist shops. You don't need to leave the neighbourhood for daily groceries. Education receives a 9.0 from residents, the highest sub-score. There are several primary schools in the neighbourhood, including Rosaschool and Nellestein primary school, and the Calandlyceum secondary school is within cycling distance. Sportpark Ookmeer offers space for football, hockey and tennis, and along the Sloterplas you can run, swim or just walk.
Accessibility is a major plus, with a score of 8.4. Metro station Osdorp De Aker (line 50) and various tram lines (including lines 1 and 17 towards Central Station) provide a quick connection to the city centre, within about 25 minutes. By car, you are quickly on the A10 West. Resident Peter, born in 1963 in the neighbourhood, sees the development: "I've seen a lot change, it keeps looking better and better." That transformation is visible in new-build projects around Calandlaan/Lelylaan and the renovation of many porch flats. The Meer en Oever area attracts buyers who want to live close to the water. To be fair, the safety score (7.6) and cleanliness (7.6) are slightly lower than the rest. Some parts still look a bit dated, and in the evening certain spots are quiet to the point of stillness.

My neighbourhood is very beautiful and easily accessible, many shops, public transport, nice green surroundings, plenty of living space, tidy neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is nicely laid out with lots of greenery, open waterways, very good amenities, perfect public transport, plenty of parking space. It doesn't get any better in Amsterdam and thankfully still tourist-free. The centre and Vondelpark are nearby but often I don't feel like leaving the neighbourhood at all. People in the neighbourhood are friendly, quiet and a bit to themselves but I like that. Never experienced any aggression or crime!! I hope my neighbourhood doesn't become hip and stays like this!
Auto-translated to English by AII was born here in 1963 and have seen many changes. I feel perfectly at ease in Amsterdam Nieuw West; it keeps looking better and better.
