Living in Ruys de Beerenbrouckbuurt, Amsterdam

Ruys de Beerenbrouckbuurt is part of the Geuzenveld district in Amsterdam-West and bears the stamp of post-war urban expansion. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1950s and 1960s and consists mainly of porch flats and gallery flats, interspersed with some terraced single-family homes. The streetscape is functional and spacious, with wide avenues, plenty of greenery between the buildings and space for cyclists and pedestrians. Those used to the dense development of Amsterdam's city centre will immediately notice the difference: it is airier, quieter and less busy.

Residents give the neighbourhood an overall score of 6.3 out of 10. Green spaces score highest (8.0), which is recognisable to anyone walking through the neighbourhood: there are parks, grass fields and the proximity of the Western Harbour Area and the Osdorperplas provides green recreational areas within cycling distance. Amenities also score reasonably (7.0). The Osdorpplein shopping centre, a short bike ride away, offers a full supermarket range including Albert Heijn and Lidl, supplemented by shops for daily groceries, a pharmacy and catering establishments. Closer to home, small neighbourhood supermarkets and a number of primary schools are also within reach.

Accessibility (7.0) is one of the stronger points. Metro line 50 (the ring line) has a stop in the immediate vicinity, and via Lelylaan the train is also accessible towards Amsterdam Central and Schiphol. By car, the A10 is quickly reachable via Cornelis Lelylaan. Cycling to the city centre takes an average of 25 to 35 minutes, depending on your destination.

Less positive are the scores for safety (6.0), community (5.0) and beauty (5.0). One resident describes it as follows: "Little interaction with neighbours, don't like walking on the street in the evening. But plenty of shops and green spaces." That picture fits a neighbourhood with a relatively high share of social housing and a mixed population composition. The neighbourhood has over 6,100 residents, with families with children as the largest household type. The atmosphere is down-to-earth and unpretentious, but not necessarily unpleasant. It depends heavily on the street and the porch block you end up in.

Compared to neighbouring communities such as Van Tijenbuurt or Dudokbuurt, Ruys de Beerenbrouckbuurt is slightly less compact and has a somewhat quieter character. Neighbourhoods like Bakemabuurt and De Eendracht are in the same district and have a similar housing stock.

Who is a home for sale in Ruys de Beerenbrouckbuurt interesting for?

Buying in Ruys de Beerenbrouckbuurt is most realistic for movers and dual-income couples who want to stay within Amsterdam but don't want to pay top dollar. First-time buyers can buy an apartment in Ruys de Beerenbrouckbuurt for less than in most other Amsterdam neighbourhoods, although a budget of at least €325,000 is still necessary. Families looking for space and who value greenery will find relatively large living areas by Amsterdam standards. Keep in mind that the supply of owner-occupied homes is limited (only 20% of the stock), so homes sell quickly. Overbidding is not uncommon in this market.
