Living in Vredeveldbuurt, Amstelveen
Vredeveldbuurt is located in the southern part of the Elsrijk district and has a different character from the more village-like streets of Elsrijk Oost. Here, mainly multi-family homes and porch flats from the 1960s and 1970s stand, interspersed with terraced houses. The streets are spacious, there is relatively a lot of greenery between the blocks, and the whole looks well-maintained without being pretentious. Residents describe the neighbourhood as quiet and functional: it's pleasant to live there, but it's not a neighbourhood you'd go out of your way for.
The population composition is diverse. The largest group is 25 to 45 years old (875 of the 2,250 residents), but there are also relatively many over-65s (415 people) and single-person households (555). You notice this in the atmosphere: it's not a typical family neighbourhood with lots of children on the street, but neither is it a student area. People know each other reasonably well, without it being a close-knit village community.
For daily groceries, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. The Albert Heijn on Groenhof and the shops in Elsrijk shopping centre are within cycling distance. For a larger selection, the Stadshart of Amstelveen can be reached within ten minutes, offering an extensive shopping centre and cultural facilities. Primary schools such as Jenaplanschool De Wilgenstam serve families in the area, and sports clubs like tennis club Amstelveen are easily accessible via the edge of the Amsterdamse Bos.
In terms of accessibility, Vredeveldbuurt performs well. Bus lines 166 and 170 connect the neighbourhood quickly to Amsterdam Zuid and Central Station. By car, you can reach the Amsterdam ring road via the A9. Cyclists can reach Amsterdam city centre via the Amstelveenlijn or along the Amsterdamse Bos in about 25 minutes. The tram connection via the Amstelveenlijn (towards Amsterdam Zuid/WTC) makes the neighbourhood attractive for commuters who need to go into the city daily.
Residents appreciate the tranquillity, the green structure and the central location. On the neighbourhood main page of Vredeveldbuurt you can read all reviews and neighbourhood scores per category. One resident wrote: "You have everything you need here without the hustle and bustle of the city, yet Amsterdam is just around the corner." Recurring criticisms are the limited supply of owner-occupied homes and the parking situation in the evenings. Compared to Elsrijk West and the Kruiskerkbuurt, Vredeveldbuurt is slightly more compact and has a higher density of rental homes, which influences the neighbourhood dynamics.
Does a home for sale in Vredeveldbuurt suit you as a buyer?
Vredeveldbuurt mainly appeals to dual-income couples without children and smaller families who want to live in Amstelveen without paying the top price of Elsrijk. The average sale price of €582,457 is realistic for the region, but starters with a limited budget will also have to overbid on popular properties here. Supply is limited: with an average of 23 transactions per year, the market is tight. Be quick and well-prepared with a financing contingency or mortgage advice in hand. Those who want more flexibility can also look at rental homes in Vredeveldbuurt as an intermediate step. For similar buying opportunities in a slightly different setting, Randwijck is worth a look.

Parking is a point that residents regularly mention as an area for improvement. During the day there is usually enough space, but in the evening it can be a challenge to find a free spot.
