Living in Zuidwestkwadrant-Noord, Amsterdam

Zuidwestkwadrant-Noord is a quiet, predominantly post-war neighbourhood in the Osdorp district, part of the wider area Osdorp-Midden. The buildings mostly date from the 1960s and 1970s: porch flats and gallery flats interspersed with some strips of ground-level terraced houses. The streetscape is green and orderly, with wide pavements, small parks and space between the buildings that you do not find in denser Amsterdam neighbourhoods. This gives the neighbourhood a certain openness, although it comes with the typical anonymity of a planned housing estate.

Daily shopping is done in or around Osdorpplein, the shopping centre within walking distance where supermarkets, a pharmacy and various shops are located. For a larger range of shops, Amsterdamse Poort in Amsterdam Zuidoost is accessible, but most residents make do with Osdorpplein for daily needs. Primary schools are available in the immediate vicinity; for secondary education, families often look to schools in adjacent neighbourhoods or towards Sloten and Nieuw-West. Sports clubs and playing fields are present within the district, and Sloterpark with the Sloterplas beach is within cycling distance, which is a clear asset for families and sports enthusiasts.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood is well-connected for those who rely on the car: the A10 and A9 are quickly reachable, which benefits commuters heading to Schiphol or the region. By public transport, the journey to the centre of Amsterdam takes a little longer. Tram line 1 and several bus routes connect the neighbourhood to Station Lelylaan and the centre, but expect a travel time of 20 to 30 minutes. Having your own bike helps make the connection to the rest of the city smoother.

Residents appreciate the peace and space. A frequently heard comment in the reviews is: "Finally a neighbourhood where you can just park in the evening and the children can play outside without it being busy." At the same time, residents point to the somewhat dull appearance of the apartment blocks and the fact that the neighbourhood has little in the way of its own hospitality or cultural life. On the neighbourhood homepage of Zuidwestkwadrant-Noord you can read all resident reviews and find scores per category such as safety, amenities and liveability. Compared to neighbouring community Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid, the northern part is slightly quieter in character; Botteskerkbuurt and Reimerswaal each have their own atmosphere worth exploring if you want to buy in this part of Amsterdam.

Is a home in Zuidwestkwadrant-Noord right for you?

Buying in Zuidwestkwadrant-Noord is most interesting for first-time buyers and small families who want to enter Amsterdam affordably.

The average income in the neighbourhood (€27,700) is below the Amsterdam average (€44,276), which says something about the social mix but also about the threshold that an owner-occupied home sets here. Seniors who want to live quietly and green with good car accessibility also find their place here.
