Living in Zeestratenbuurt, Amstelveen

Zeestratenbuurt is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the southwest of Amstelveen, part of the Bankras Kostverloren district. The streets are named after Dutch sea inlets and coastal towns, giving the neighbourhood a recognisable character. The housing stock largely dates from the 1960s and 1970s: terraced houses, semi-detached houses and a limited number of porch apartments alternate. The gardens are generally quite large and the streets are wide, giving the neighbourhood a spacious feel that you won't quickly find in denser Amsterdam neighbourhoods.

In terms of atmosphere, it is quiet here without being boring. You see many families with children and also a fair number of over-45s who have lived in the neighbourhood for years. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (515 people), but the 25 to 45 age group is also well represented (510 people). This makes it a mixed neighbourhood without a pronounced one-sided population composition.

For daily shopping, the neighbourhood is well served. Bankras Shopping Centre, within walking distance, offers an Albert Heijn and various other shops. For a larger range, the Stadshart of Amstelveen is easily accessible by bike, with a wide selection of shops, eateries and the library. Children in the neighbourhood can attend several primary schools in the immediate vicinity. For sports, there are football fields and tennis courts near the Amsterdamse Bos, which is a short distance away and a popular spot for runners, cyclists and families.

Accessibility by public transport is reasonable. Several bus lines connect the neighbourhood with the centre of Amstelveen and with Amsterdam. Amstelveen does not have its own train station, but the sneltram (line 25) takes you quickly to the Amsterdam city centre via Amsterdam Zuid station. By car, the A9 is nearby, making Schiphol and the A10 ring road easily accessible. Cycling to the centre of Amstelveen takes about ten minutes.

Residents appreciate the peace, space and green surroundings. On the neighbourhood page of Zeestratenbuurt you can find all reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "It's wonderfully quiet here, you hardly notice the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam while you can get there so easily. The neighbourhood is well maintained and the neighbours know each other." Criticisms that come up are the limited supply of evening eateries and the parking pressure at busy times. Compared to neighbouring communities such as Heldenbuurt and Boekenbuurt, Zeestratenbuurt has a slightly higher average WOZ value, which is partly related to the size of the homes and the location near green areas.

Is a home for sale in Zeestratenbuurt right for you?

Zeestratenbuurt mainly appeals to movers and families who are looking for space and are willing to pay for it. With an average selling price of over €611,000, this is not a neighbourhood for starters with a limited budget. Overbidding occurs, especially on well-located single-family homes. Supply is limited: only a handful of homes change hands each year, so if you have your eye on something, you need to act quickly. Seniors looking to downsize can also find a place here, although the supply of apartments is more limited than in the Stadshart. Not sure yet if buying is the right step?
