Randwijck: a quiet, green neighbourhood for families with a good income
Living in Randwijck feels different from the busy Stadshart or the more urban parts of Amstelveen. The neighbourhood has a distinctly green character, with wide streets, many detached and semi-detached homes, and an atmosphere you would expect more in a village than in a municipality bordering Amsterdam. Residents particularly appreciate the peace and space. On the Randwijck neighbourhood page you can read what residents themselves write about their neighbourhood. A recurring theme in the reviews is the good mix of tranquillity and accessibility: "You live here quietly, but Amsterdam is so close that it is never a problem." Criticisms that also come up are the limited shopping facilities directly in the neighbourhood itself and parking at busy times.
For daily shopping, residents rely on the nearby Stadshart shopping centre, which is within cycling distance and offers a wide range of supermarkets, specialist shops and eateries. In the neighbourhood itself there are primary schools, including both public and special education schools. For sports, there are various options in the immediate vicinity, including tennis and football clubs. The Amsterdamse Bos borders the west side of Amstelveen and is easily accessible by bike for Randwijck residents, making the neighbourhood extra attractive for families with children. The 25 to 45 age group is the largest, and more than a thousand households have children, which well illustrates the family-oriented nature of the neighbourhood.
In terms of accessibility, Randwijck scores well. The neighbourhood is close to the A9 and has a direct connection via the N232 towards Amsterdam-Zuid and Schiphol. By bus (Connexxion lines towards Amsterdam and the centre of Amstelveen) you are quickly at Amsterdam Station Zuid or Schiphol. The North-South line is accessible via Amsterdam-Zuid, which significantly shortens the connection to the city centre. Within the neighbourhood there are also differences: Randwijck Oost has a slightly different character than Randwijck West, with the western part being somewhat more spacious and greener. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Amstelveen.
For which buyers is Randwijck a serious option?
Randwijck mainly attracts families and movers who are looking for space and are willing to pay a higher price for it. With an average purchase price of nearly €800,000, this is not a neighbourhood for starters with a modest budget. In addition to the purchase price, take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for homes above the starter exemption), notary fees and possible estate agent fees. Overbidding is not unusual in this segment. Those who want to buy in Randwijck would do well to act quickly. If buying is still a step too far financially, then look at the rental homes in Randwijck as an interim solution.
