Buitenveldert-Zuidoost, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Van Boshuizenstraat sits in a quiet, leafy part of Amsterdam. With 158 m² of living space, it is 63% larger than the neighbourhood average of 97 m², a rare find in this price bracket. The asking price of €980,000 is on the high side compared to the median of €517,500, but the extra square metres and the fact that it is a terraced house (only 15% of homes here are single-family) justify the premium. For context, terraced houses in Amsterdam typically command higher prices per m².
Buitenveldert-Zuidoost is a post-war residential area with wide streets and plenty of green. The population is diverse: many singles (34% of households) and a mix of ages, with a notable share of 25-45 year olds. The area is very urban (address density 3,277 per km²), yet it feels calm thanks to the nearby park just a couple of streets away. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, but the CBS data shows a high proportion of flats (85%) and a relatively young population. The Buitenveldert-Zuidoost neighbourhood is well-established, with most homes built between 1945 and 1970.
Your daily routine here is easy: the Jumbo supermarket is just around the corner for groceries, and the AH XL is a ten-minute walk for a bigger shop. For school runs, the Buitenveldertse Montessorischool is on your doorstep, and secondary schools like Cheider are also within a five-minute walk. The area has several restaurants and a library within walking distance. The train station is 1.8 km away, so a short cycle or bus ride gets you to the city centre. The municipality of Amsterdam offers excellent amenities and connections.

How residents experience their municipality
IJburg is a new district still under development and it's getting better with all the amenities and a beach nearby. And you're also quickly out of the city and into the greenery.

Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about 12 years. The neighbourhood has clear advantages: good connections by tram, bus and ferry/boat, plenty of supermarkets, gyms and practical amenities nearby. For me, however, there was one major drawback: structural low-frequency noise, demonstrably coming from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. If you are sensitive to that, it can be very burdensome. In my case, it was clearly noticeable indoors, especially at night. Neighbours said they slept with earplugs and extra insulation offered limited to no solution. The municipality took measurements at the time and acknowledged that the noise was significant, but indicated they could do little or nothing about it because the source fell outside their direct authority. My honest advice: visit this neighbourhood not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night, and pay specific attention to low-frequency humming or vibrations. For people sensitive to noise, I would personally strongly advise against this location.

Auto-translated to English by AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the end of the Silodam lies the striking MVRDV building. Surrounded by water on all sides. Every apartment has a view of the IJ and/or the Oude Houthaven. The views are therefore phenomenal and every day is different due to the weather. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable. Because the building is at the end of the Silodam, there is no through traffic and every person is either a resident or a visitor. This makes it, by Amsterdam standards, an exceptionally safe living environment. There is little turnover. The residents of this building form a close-knit community. A nice mix of families with and without children and single people who help each other where needed. And that too is a special quality in an increasingly transient Amsterdam. Within walking distance are the Haarlemmerdijk and the markets where you can find all the hustle and bustle if you feel like it. On the Silodam there is peace and quiet, a delight for body and mind. The wind, the seagulls, the waves on the IJ, the boats, occasionally a cruise ship, and every 5 years Sail! A little paradise in Amsterdam? Absolutely!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the city but still close to many good amenities that a city has to offer. The neighbourhood is still becoming more beautiful.
