Living in Postjeskade and surroundings, Amsterdam
Postjeskade and surroundings is located in the west of Amsterdam, in the Westindische Buurt. It is a neighbourhood that you do not immediately associate with tourism or hustle and bustle, and that is precisely what many residents appreciate. The Postjeskade itself is a quiet quay along the Kostverlorenvaart, with water and trees on both sides. The atmosphere is urban but subdued: no terraces until late at night, but a neighbourhood where people consciously choose it because it feels a bit quieter than, say, the Jordaan or the Grachtengordel.
The buildings largely date from the early twentieth century, with closed building blocks and porch apartments typical of the western garden cities and adjacent neighbourhoods. The homes are compact but often have high ceilings and good light. Anyone considering buying an apartment in Postjeskade and surroundings will find relatively affordable options here compared to neighbourhoods like the Grachtengordel-West, although prices here have also risen sharply in recent years.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is well equipped. Within walking distance there are supermarkets (including along Jan Pieter Heijestraat and Kinkerstraat), bakeries, and a varied range of small shops and eateries. Rembrandtpark is within cycling distance and offers space for runners, children playing, and people who want to unwind. For families with children, there are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, although education scores slightly lower (7.0) than the other categories in resident ratings, which may be related to the limited choice of schools directly in the neighbourhood itself.
Accessibility is excellent. Tram lines and bus connections take you quickly to the centre of Amsterdam, and Amsterdam Lelylaan station is a short bike ride away, with direct connections to Schiphol and other cities. By car, the A10 ring road is easily accessible via the Surinameplein exit. Residents therefore rate accessibility with a 10.0.
The resident score of 9.2 out of 10 (based on submitted reviews) is remarkably high. Safety, accessibility, sense of community, and amenities all score a perfect 10.
