Kudelstaart, Aalsmeer
NeighbourhoodThis is a neighbourhood where the houses are generous and the gardens are roomy, but the social fabric has frayed. The 165 m² terraced house on Zuiderpark 25, built in 2003, is 36% larger than the average home in the area. With a price of €600,000, it sits below the neighbourhood average of €655,550, making it a keen entry point for a family-sized home. For context, terraced houses in Aalsmeer typically command a premium, so this one is priced to move.
Kudelstaart is a village of about 9,260 people, with a mix of families and older residents. The housing stock is mostly single-family homes (77%), and two-thirds are owner-occupied. But the reviews paint a stark picture. One resident says: "Since the completion of the neighbourhood in 2004, there has been a clear decline and impoverishment. Liveability is structurally under pressure." Another adds: "Nice houses. Spacious gardens. Disrespectful environment. Little compassion for others. It's all me, me, me." A third notes: "The neighbourhood started off quite well. New houses, new residents. However, after a number of residents moved away and were replaced by the next residents, it has deteriorated a lot." Based on five reviews, the overall score is 4.77 out of 10, with safety, community spirit and hygiene flagged as weak points. For more context, see the Kudelstaart neighbourhood.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner. For bread and basics, you can walk there in a few minutes. There are two primary schools within a ten-minute walk: KC De Ruimte and Openbare Basisschool Kudelstaart. For secondary education, you'll need to travel further, the nearest is 3.8 km away. The neighbourhood has a park or green space within a five-minute walk, and a GP is 800 m away. Public transport is limited; the nearest train station is 10.1 km away. For more on the wider area, see the municipality of Aalsmeer.

The asking price of €600,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €655,550 and the median of €498,500. The average price per m² in Kudelstaart is €5,686, so for 165 m² that would come to about €938,000, but this home is priced well under that. Given that the average sold price in the area is €721,061, this listing looks keenly priced for a house of this size.
The home has energy label C. That means it has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, but not the highest standards. In the neighbourhood, 60% of homes have label A, 20% label B, and 20% label D or lower. Label C is average for the area, so you can expect moderate energy costs.
The floor area is 165 m², which is 36% larger than the neighbourhood average of 121 m². The plot is 160 m², giving you a decent-sized garden. The house was built in 2003, so it's relatively modern.
Residents report a lack of community spirit and issues with nuisance from youths and dog waste. One review says: 'No sense of community. Hygiene: shit everywhere on the grass field is not cleaned up.' Another mentions: 'Addressing people and talking about it is not accepted.' The neighbourhood scores low on safety and social cohesion.
There are two primary schools within walking distance: KC De Ruimte (518 m) and Openbare Basisschool Kudelstaart (1.1 km). For secondary education, the nearest is 3.8 km away, and residents note that the local VMBO has a 'not-so-good reputation'. For havo or vwo, you'd need to look further afield.
The nearest train station is 10.1 km away, so you'll likely rely on a car or bus. There is a bus service to Aalsmeer, but residents say connections are poor. One review suggests extending the tram from Uithoorn to Kudelstaart would help.
Residents report safety concerns, especially in the evenings, due to nuisance from youths and fatbike groups. One review says: 'Not safe due to nuisance from youths, who learn their behaviour from their parents.' Another mentions vandalism and a lack of visible enforcement. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 166.
Albert Heijn is just 475 m away, so you can walk there in a few minutes. Other supermarkets like Hoogvliet (2.8 km) and Coop (3.6 km) are further out. There are also restaurants within 700 m.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
Since the completion of the neighbourhood in 2004, there has been a clear decline and impoverishment. Liveability is structurally under pressure. Assessment: The neighbourhood scores insufficient on the following aspects: Safety, Community spirit, Hygiene, Education / upbringing climate, Green spaces, Facilities, Accessibility. Explanation per aspect: Safety: Parking and driving on pavements and footpaths. Unsafe situations for pedestrians and playing children. Nuisance from hanging groups and fatbike groups, especially in the evenings. Insufficient visible enforcement. Community: High turnover in apartments, little connection to the neighbourhood. Hardly any social cohesion or mutual accountability culture. Little involvement in the living environment. Hygiene: Structural dog poop on grass fields; the clean-up duty is not observed. Lots of litter, including sweet and crisp wrappers, also in private gardens. Insufficient cleaning and maintenance by the municipality. Education / upbringing climate: Children play outside without supervision. Norms and values regarding waste, respect for others' property and public space are visibly lacking. Negative role model for younger children. Green: Poorly maintained green spaces. Grass fields polluted and therefore not usable for recreation. Unattractive and unkempt street scene. Facilities: Insufficient parking facilities, partly due to company vans. No clear facilities to combat nuisance (such as extra bins or supervised play areas). Accessibility: Pavements and footpaths often blocked by parked vehicles. Poor accessibility for the elderly, prams and people with disabilities. What could be improved: Active and visible enforcement of parking, dog poop and nuisance. Tackling long-term parked company vans. Improvement of municipal maintenance of green and public space. Placement of extra bins and targeted cleaning actions. Structural deployment of neighbourhood police and enforcement officers, especially in the evenings. Measures to strengthen social cohesion and encourage residents to take more responsibility. Clear communication about norms, rules and consequences.
Auto-translated to English by AINice house Lots of green Shopping centre nearby Public transport accessibility could be better Not safe due to nuisance from youths, who learn their behaviour from their parents. Disrespectful, selfish. No sense of community. Hygiene: shit everywhere on the grass field is not cleaned up, youths just throw packaging into gardens.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood started off quite well. New houses, new residents. However, after a number of residents moved away and were replaced by the next residents, it has deteriorated a lot. Besides a huge increase in nuisance from night flights from Schiphol, the mutual social behaviour has dropped to zero. It is a neighbourhood with many children who find the antisocial behaviour of their parents so normal that they don't know any better and copy their parents' behaviour. In recent years, there has been a lot of nuisance and vandalism by whole groups of terrorising children. These children are getting older and are now starting to show different behaviour or moving away. Addressing people and talking about it is not accepted. And bullying is a daily occurrence, especially if you keep your distance from these people. Because you already know that talking and addressing them backfires. Because if you don't join in or show the same antisocial behaviour, you are treated like a pariah. In Kudelstaart there is supervision by a neighbourhood police officer, and after the shooting you see more police and enforcement. However, if you contact the neighbourhood officer or ask the police for help, you can forget about it. We have plenty of beautiful nature and greenery in and around the neighbourhood. Education could be better. There is childcare, primary school education (the level is not great) and there is a VMBO (which also has a not-so-good reputation). However, for children who go to havo or vwo, you have to look further. Accessibility by public transport is very poor. There is a bus station in Aalsmeer that the bus from Kudelstaart goes to. However, the bus does not connect at all with the other buses. It would be nice if at least one bus every quarter or half hour went directly to the nearest train station (e.g. Hoofddorp) without having to transfer. Maybe the tram from Uithoorn could be extended to Kudelstaart. Facilities are sufficient but could also be better.
Auto-translated to English by AIReasonably neat neighbourhood. Unfortunately, there is nuisance from screaming neighbours, drunk neighbours, antisocial behaviour towards neighbours who distance themselves from it. So if you don't belong or don't want to belong, you'd better brace yourself. Little empathy and understanding. A lot of nuisance from vandalism of cars and personal belongings. In addition, there are regularly groups of young people who terrorise the neighbourhood by "ring and run", and if you don't respond, they then bang on the windows. Furthermore, windows are smeared with eggs and yoghurt. The neighbourhood police officer is very hard to find, the police do nothing, confronting the neighbours backfires.
Auto-translated to English by AII personally never really felt unsafe in the neighbourhood. I think it's a nice neighbourhood to live in with hardly any problems. A small, pleasant village, but public transport is a bit lacking. There is only one bus that runs every half hour, and the direct connection to Amsterdam-Zuid will be discontinued in the summer of 2024. Other than that, it's an extremely quiet living environment.

Auto-translated to English by AIToo few contacts, everyone is on their own because there are too many cultural people. We have lived here for 42 years in a large house with 4 rooms and a very large attic. We would like to live smaller, but then you are punished with a much higher rent.

Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for almost 17 years now, everyone moved here at the same time, we can count on each other when something happens, we're there for each other, it feels like a family. Over the years it has changed a bit due to people moving, but it is and remains a nice place. Space for children to play, school nearby within walking distance, a Catholic, public and Christian school.
