In terms of amenities, you are well catered for. On the Marathonweg and the Stadionweg you will find a mix of specialist shops, lunchrooms and an Albert Heijn. The Olympiaplein is the social heart: markets are held here and children play on the large square. For education, there are primary schools such as the Catharinaschool and Montessorischool Olympia. The Vondelpark is within walking distance, and the Amsterdamse Bos is reachable by bike within ten minutes. Sports enthusiasts can go to tennis club Festina at the IJsbaanpad or to swimming pool De Mirandabad, just south of the neighbourhood.

Accessibility is excellent. Tram line 24 and bus line 15 connect the neighbourhood with the city centre and station Zuid. Metro station Europaplein (line 52, the North/South line) is a fifteen-minute walk away and takes you to Amsterdam Central in eight minutes. By car, you can quickly reach the ring road via the A10 Zuid. This also makes the Stadionbuurt attractive for commuters. The different neighbourhoods each have their own character: the Marathonbuurt-Oost is more compact and lively, while the Bertelmanpleinbuurt offers a bit more peace.

Is the Stadionbuurt right for you as a buyer?

With an average purchase price of almost €683,000 and a limited supply of owner-occupied homes of only 16% of the housing stock, buying a home in the Stadionbuurt is mainly reserved for movers and dual-income couples. First-time buyers with a modal income will struggle here, especially since overbidding is more the rule than the exception. In addition to the purchase price, take into account transfer tax (2% or 10.4%), notary and valuation costs. For those who find the purchase prices too high, it may be worth looking at rental homes in the Stadionbuurt. Seniors looking to downsize will find apartments in good locations here, although a lift is not available in every porch block. Families with children benefit from the good schools and the abundant greenery, but will need to search for the scarce three- or four-room apartments.
