Living in the Waterlandpleinbuurt: urban and green at the same time
The Waterlandpleinbuurt is located in Amsterdam-Noord and has its own recognisable character. Resident Ömer describes it aptly: "My neighbourhood has a charming mix of urban and green elements. Wide avenues with tall trees and diverse house styles create a dynamic atmosphere." That's right. The neighbourhood consists of a mix of porch flats, terraced houses and newer apartments, spread across areas such as Markengouw-Noord, Werengouw-Midden and Markengouw-Zuid. The Waterlandplein itself is the beating heart, with a shopping centre where you will find an Albert Heijn, Kruidvat, Etos and various specialist shops. There are several primary schools in the area, including the Catharinaschool and the Sneeuwbal, and there is a library.
On the neighbourhood page of the Waterlandpleinbuurt, residents give the neighbourhood a 7.3 out of 10. Safety (8.3) and sense of community (8.0) score notably high. Resident Annis writes: "It is a very nice neighbourhood with people who are very social and kind." Facilities also score an 8.0. Accessibility is less strong with a 6.0, and that is honestly noticeable. The nearest metro stop is Noord (line 52), about ten minutes away by bus. Bus lines 35 and 37 connect the neighbourhood with Central Station and the rest of Noord. By car, you are quickly on the A10 ring road via the Nieuwe Leeuwarderweg. But if you have to go to the centre daily, you notice that it takes a bit more travel time than in neighbourhoods like the Jordaan or the Haarlemmerbuurt.
The Florapark and the green strips along the Markengouw offer space for walking and playing, although green scores a 6.0, not above average. With 14,180 residents and a large group of 25- to 45-year-olds (4,315), the neighbourhood is clearly popular with young families and starters. The average disposable income of €31,400 is below the Amsterdam average of €44,276. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of Amsterdam.
Does the Waterlandpleinbuurt suit you as a buyer?
Buying an apartment in the Waterlandpleinbuurt is especially attractive for starters and young families looking for an affordable entry into Amsterdam. With purchase prices from around €225,000, this is more realistic here than in the centre, although you must allow for additional costs: 2% transfer tax, notary and valuation costs. Overbidding occurs, especially for the more popular porch flats around the Waterlandplein. The supply of homes for sale is limited due to the high proportion of rental homes, so be prepared for competition. Families benefit from the nearby schools and the sense of community. If you find the owner-occupied market too tight, it is wise to also look at rental homes in the Waterlandpleinbuurt as an alternative.
