House prices and market figures for Schipluidenbuurt, Amsterdam

Schipluidenbuurt is a predominantly rental neighbourhood: only 5% of the approximately 1,128 homes are owner-occupied. This makes supply scarce, and that is reflected in the prices.

The WOZ value is €292,000, well below the district average for Westlandgracht (€362,000) and far below the Amsterdam average of €517,000. That difference says something about the composition of the housing stock: these are predominantly smaller apartments, not large ground-based homes. Most sales transactions involve stacked construction from the post-war period. Check the current supply and the average asking price at the top of this page for the most recent market situation.

Living in Schipluidenbuurt, Amsterdam

Schipluidenbuurt is located in the southwestern part of Amsterdam, in the Westlandgracht district. It is a compact, urban neighbourhood with a distinct character: many young residents, few families, and a high concentration of students and young professionals. Of the 1,625 inhabitants, the largest group is between 25 and 45 years old, and as many as 1,090 households are single-person households. Only 8% of residents are married. That says something about the atmosphere: this is not a quiet family neighbourhood, but a place where people live in an urban environment, often temporarily or as a first step in Amsterdam.

The buildings largely consist of post-war porch flats and gallery apartments, built in the 1950s and 1960s. The streets are functional in layout, with little greenery at street level, but Rembrandtpark is within cycling distance and offers some space for residents seeking green areas. In the neighbourhood itself, you will find basic amenities such as an Albert Heijn at Delflandplein and smaller shops along Schipluidenlaan. For a wider range of shops, residents go to Delflandplein or further towards the city centre.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores reasonably well. Tram lines 1 and 17 run via Postjesweg and Jan Tooropstraat and take you to the city centre in about twenty minutes. Isolatorweg metro station is a bit further north. By car, the A10 ring road is quickly accessible. Parking in the neighbourhood is paid and can be difficult, which is a point of attention for buyers with a car. By bike, you can reach the Jordaan or the Overtoom in a quarter of an hour.

Residents appreciate the central location and good public transport connections, but are more critical of the neighbourhood's appearance. One resident writes: "Conveniently located and affordable compared to other parts of Amsterdam, but the neighbourhood feels a bit grey and lacks social cohesion." The neighbourhood main page for Schipluidenbuurt shows all resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood scores per category.

Compared to neighbouring communities such as Delflandpleinbuurt-West and Delflandpleinbuurt-Oost, Schipluidenbuurt is slightly quieter in character, but also less lively in terms of dining and shops.

For those considering buying in the wider district, a comparison with owner-occupied homes in Westlandgracht provides a good overview of what the different neighbourhoods have to offer.

Who is a home for sale in Schipluidenbuurt interesting for?

Buying in Schipluidenbuurt is mainly interesting for starters and singles who want to get a foot in the door in Amsterdam-West, without paying the very highest prices of the city centre. However, the average purchase price of over €634,000 is not low, and the limited supply (only 9 transactions in a year) means you have to act quickly when something becomes available. Overbidding is the norm in Amsterdam, here too. Families with children will probably find the neighbourhood less suitable: the scale is small, there is little play space directly on the street, and the homes are compact. Those looking for more space for less money could also look at rental homes in Schipluidenbuurt as a temporary alternative, or turn their attention to other districts. The municipality of Amsterdam also provides information on housing policy and starter loans via amsterdam.nl that may be relevant.
