Zijdelwaard from the inside: green, quiet and close to everything

Zijdelwaard is a post-war expansion neighbourhood that has grown over the years into a mature residential area with a distinct character of its own. The neighbourhood consists of wide streets with plenty of greenery between them, spacious gardens and a mix of construction from the 1970s, 1980s and later. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural highlights, but rather for a quiet, orderly atmosphere that appeals to families. This is also reflected in the population structure: the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and households with children form the largest category.

Residents appreciate on the neighbourhood page of Zijdelwaard especially the peace and green surroundings. One resident writes that it is pleasant to live there because everything is within cycling distance yet it feels quiet, without the hustle and bustle of a city centre. Criticism sometimes focuses on the outdated shopping facilities and limited entertainment options for young people. That is fair: those seeking vibrancy should go to Dorpscentrum or further to Amsterdam.

For daily groceries, there is a supermarket nearby, and primary schools are well represented in the neighbourhood. There is also plenty to do sport-wise: football clubs, tennis clubs and swimming facilities are present in or near the neighbourhood. The Amstel and the surrounding polders offer space for walking and cycling, which is a major plus for families and the elderly. In terms of accessibility, Uithoorn is not an NS station municipality, but bus connections towards Amstelveen and Amsterdam-Zuidoost are available, and via the N201 you are quickly on the A2 or A9. By car, you are in Amsterdam in twenty to twenty-five minutes. Those who compare the neighbourhood with Thamerdal or Legmeer will notice that Zijdelwaard is slightly more affordable, but certainly does not fall short in terms of facilities and greenery. More about the municipal housing policy and local developments can be found on the website of the municipality of Uithoorn.

For whom is buying in Zijdelwaard a good choice?

Zijdelwaard mainly appeals to families and home-movers looking for space on a realistic budget, without wanting to live too far from Amsterdam. First-time buyers with a limited budget have a harder time: the average selling price of €522,120 is high, and overbidding is not uncommon in this segment. Also take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers) and notary fees. Those who want to be more flexible or are still undecided can also look at rental homes in Zijdelwaard as an intermediate solution. For buying an apartment in Zijdelwaard, there are options at the lower end of the range, but the supply is more limited than in some other neighbourhoods.
