What does a home in the Staatsliedenbuurt cost?
The Staatsliedenbuurt is a neighbourhood where owner-occupied homes are still in the minority: only 29% of the more than 8,000 homes are owner-occupied, while 71% are rental properties (of which nearly half are owned by housing corporations). This makes supply limited and competition among buyers fierce. The average WOZ value is €482,000, slightly below the Amsterdam average of €517,000. In the past twelve months, 203 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €475,653, with a range of approximately €300,000 to €1,875,000. The average living area of sold homes is 51 m², which clearly shows that apartments dominate the market here. Detached houses or single-family homes are hardly ever found. At the top of this page, you can see the current supply and the average asking price for the most recent situation.
Living in the Staatsliedenbuurt: a working-class neighbourhood with character and contrast
The Staatsliedenbuurt scores a 6.4 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl based on resident reviews. That is not an outstanding score, but it tells an honest story about a neighbourhood that is full of potential while also grappling with typical big-city challenges. Residents particularly appreciate the sense of community (7.6), while education (3.0) and amenities (5.2) score notably low. On the neighbourhood page of the Staatsliedenbuurt you can find all reviews and subscores.
One resident describes the area as a "nice old working-class neighbourhood near the centre" and highlights the diverse mix of residents as a characteristic: people with owner-occupied apartments live here alongside tenants who obtained a social housing unit through urgency. That mix creates vibrancy, but sometimes also friction. Another resident writes enthusiastically about living in a building from 1905 with friendly neighbours, but warns that bicycles are frequently stolen at night. This lack of a sense of safety recurs in several reviews.
In terms of amenities, along Van Hallstraat and Jan van Galenstraat you will find various small supermarkets, a Lidl and a Jumbo. Westerpark, just around the corner, offers space for walking, running and picnicking, and houses cultural hotspots such as the Westergasfabriek. For primary education, there are schools in the area, but the low score for education (3.0) suggests that parents here are not entirely satisfied. Accessibility has deteriorated in recent years: residents complain about the scrapping of tram lines. Bus stops on Haarlemmerweg and the nearby Amsterdam Sloterdijk station provide connections to the public transport network, and by bike you can reach Central Station in ten minutes. By car, you can quickly reach the A10-West via the S102 and S103. The neighbourhood consists of several sub-areas, each with its own character. For instance, De Wittenbuurt-Noord is somewhat quieter, while the area around Buyskade is closer to the water. The Fannius Scholtenbuurt is also worth exploring if you are looking for a home here. More information about the municipality can be found on the page for Amsterdam and on the website of the municipality of Amsterdam.
Is the Staatsliedenbuurt right for you as a buyer?
With an average purchase price around €475,000 for about 51 m², buying an apartment in the Staatsliedenbuurt is particularly interesting for starters and singles. The neighbourhood indeed has many single-person households (over 5,000 out of approximately 7,600). For families, the limited living space and the low score for education are points to consider. When buying in the Staatsliedenbuurt, keep in mind overbidding, which is more the rule than the exception here, plus additional costs such as transfer tax (2%) and notary fees. If you find the purchase prices too high, you can also look at rental properties in the Staatsliedenbuurt as an alternative. Those moving up who want more space would do well to also compare nearby neighbourhoods.

Honestly crazy! I live in the centre of little Jordan and it's really not a dream! The people outside are different than the dictionary! And the problem like all the time the 'borders'! Actually. If I want to report everything to the police I call them every day! But I have 'neighbours' with walls like head, they are really magical! All the time they are the people people! All the time willed war you want meet than you! They can try to make the food then call 112 because the other but they live in richland over the phone make noise in the nearby apartment! They are really satisfied with their integration! The one full of experience and we are the brave! Boring and all the time want pampering and dangerous for society! But yes Garden of Eden! Luckily it's forbidden now on us!
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood has a very diverse group of residents. Here, people with bought apartments live among those who often rent apartments through urgency and the social housing association. Westerpark around the corner, beautiful nature. Accessibility by public transport has worsened since the cancellation of tram line 3. I also find the range of shops very poor.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood with beautiful Amsterdam buildings from around 1910. Location is great, close to the centre but also near the lovely Westerpark. Social cohesion is also present here, older residents through social housing mixed with new residents with high incomes and owner-occupied homes. People are friendly and involved. I enjoy living here.
Auto-translated to English by AIWith a few small adjustments, we can make Staatsliedenbuurt shine again!!
Auto-translated to English by AII've only lived here for a few months and I love my apartment in a building from 1905. I have friendly neighbours with whom I share the stairwell and front door. Unfortunately, my bikes are not safe at night and they are stolen on a regular basis. Because Westerpark is exploited for a polluting commercial festival or event almost every weekend, there is not enough nature in my living environment. Furthermore, as far as I'm concerned, there could be more and different shops and such on Van Hallstraat or the beginning of Haarlemmerweg.
