The neighbourhood has a mixed reputation, but one resident describes it as "pretty decent". They note: "Yes, every now and then you hear an explosion, which certainly isn't pleasant, but when you walk through the neighbourhood there's also a lot of diversity and I almost never feel unsafe." They also appreciate the greenery and cosiness, though they find the buildings ugly and the streets dirty. The area is densely populated with a young skew, most residents are between 25 and 45. For more on the area, visit the neighbourhood Overtoomse Veld-Zuid page.
For daily groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner and Lidl is a couple of streets away.

I live in Nieuw-West in Amsterdam. It doesn't have a very good reputation, which is partly justified but partly not so bad. Yes, every now and then you hear an explosion, which certainly isn't pleasant, but when you walk through the neighbourhood there's also a lot of diversity and I almost never feel unsafe (though that doesn't say much as a 1.90m man). Furthermore, it can be very cosy and there's a lot of greenery in the area, which is also very nice. The buildings are ugly, but I can live with that. The street is also very dirty, because apparently nobody cares about nature and the streetscape, so everything gets thrown on the street. In terms of amenities, there's enough, but if I need clothes, for example, I have to go to the city centre, so that's why it's not rated very high but still sufficient. The city centre is (by Amsterdam standards) fortunately not very far to cycle and there's also a train station nearby and the metro goes there too.
