Almere

Almere has experienced remarkable growth in its relatively short history. Since the first homes were completed in 1976, the population has grown to nearly 215,000 by the end of 2021. This places Almere well within the top ten largest municipalities in the Netherlands. And the growth is far from over. With all planned new housing developments, the population is expected to eventually reach 350,000.

Amstelveen

Amstelveen is a modern, multicultural, and dynamic city. Ideally located for commuters to Amsterdam, self-employed professionals, and employees working at places like Schiphol. The city is built around growth and opportunity, making it an ideal place to live for families and anyone looking toward the future. In 2003, Amstelveen was even named the most attractive city to live in within the Netherlands. Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam knows Amstelveen inside out and is here to support you with expert guidance—helping you make the most of your opportunities on the housing market and enjoy everything the city has to offer.

Amsterdam Centrum

Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam specializes in finding monumental and character-filled properties in the heart of Amsterdam. If you are considering buying a home within the canal belt, in the Jordaan, or in the Haarlemmerbuurt, we can offer expert advice on the structural condition of the property, the financial health of homeowners’ associations, ground lease issues, and other important factors involved in securing the right home in this historic part of the city.

Amsterdam IJburg

Amsterdam IJburg is one of the city’s most modern districts and among the most ambitious urban development projects in recent years. In the late 1990s, the area was still nothing more than a vast expanse of sand. Not all of the planned islands have been completed yet, and the development has faced its share of challenges. In 2005, the Dutch Council of State halted plans for the second phase of IJburg. Strandeiland, Middeneiland, and Buiteneiland are still awaiting development. Construction has started on Centrumeiland, and the City of Amsterdam plans to continue progress in the coming years.

Amsterdam Nieuw-West

Amsterdam Nieuw-West includes neighborhoods such as Geuzenveld/Slotermeer, Slotervaart, and Osdorp. These post-war areas were originally known as the “Western Garden Cities” and have undergone significant change through various renovation and small-scale new-build projects. They were called garden cities because of their spacious layouts and abundant green spaces. Nieuw Sloten and De Aker, developed in the 1990s, are also welcome additions to the area.

The closer you get to the city center, the higher the housing density becomes. Amsterdam Nieuw-West offers a wide variety of housing, ranging from modern city apartments to larger urban villas with gardens, especially in areas like Buitenveldert. The Sloterplas, Sloterpark, and Nieuwe Meer form the spacious green and blue heart of this district, which is also known for its highly diverse population. Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam is happy to help you find a suitable home within the ever-evolving housing landscape of Nieuw-West.

Amsterdam-Noord

Amsterdam-Noord has been rapidly developing for years and is becoming one of the trendiest areas in the city to live, work, and enjoy daily life. The old NDSM wharf has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past fifteen years. With the redeveloped harbour front and the ultramodern EYE Film Institute (formerly the Filmmuseum), Amsterdam-Noord is positioning itself as the “New Amsterdam on the IJ.”

A different side of Amsterdam-Noord can be found in the charming working-class neighborhoods of Tuindorp Oostzaan, as well as in the apartment complexes of Buikslotermeer, built in the 1980s and 1990s. Many new development projects are underway, including Docklands and Overhoeks—a project named after the former Shell tower, a landmark long familiar to those arriving in Amsterdam via the IJsselmeer or North Sea Canal.

Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam is highly active in Amsterdam-Noord. We are happy to introduce you to both the newest residential developments and the area’s picturesque garden villages. One clear advantage over the city center is the ease of parking. And compared to districts like Amsterdam-Zuid, home prices in Noord are generally more accessible for a modest budget.

Amsterdam-Oost

For anyone living in Amsterdam, it is hard to avoid areas with iconic landmarks or places tied to local legends. The same goes for Amsterdam-Oost, home to the lively Indische Buurt, the former Ajax stadium De Meer, the Jaap Eden ice rink, and the now world-famous Science Park. And let’s not forget Johan Cruijff. These highlights reflect how beautifully the old and the new come together—and in many ways, continue to coexist today.

This mix of heritage and innovation adds to the area’s unique living atmosphere. At the same time, living in Amsterdam often means dealing with typically local issues, such as foundation problems or poorly functioning homeowners’ associations. That is exactly why working with Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam can make all the difference.

Amsterdam-West / Westerpark

Amsterdam-West is one of the city’s most authentic districts—a culturally rich part of Amsterdam. It is distinctive, vibrant, full of contrasts, raw and refined at the same time, with a storied past and an unmistakable energy. With Westerpark and the Westergasfabriek, the area also offers green space, calm, and a wide range of leisure and recreational opportunities.

Those looking to live in West can choose from a variety of neighborhoods. To make sure you find the place that truly suits you, it is wise to work with an expert who can guide the process and proactively identify any technical issues or challenges along the way. Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam is here to assist you every step of the way.

Amsterdam (Oud) Zuid

Imagine living just steps away from iconic landmarks such as the Rijksmuseum, the Olympic Stadium, De Pijp, the Concertgebouw, and the Amsterdam Forest. It is no surprise that Amsterdam-Zuid is one of the most desirable districts in the city.

However, it is important to keep in mind that issues such as foundation problems, underperforming homeowners’ associations, and ground lease payments are just as relevant here as in other parts of the city. Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam knows the area inside and out and is well-versed in the challenges that should never be overlooked when purchasing a property. Peace of mind starts with a proven approach—offered at fair and transparent rates.

Amsterdam Zuidoost

Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam is highly familiar with the housing stock and real estate landscape in Amsterdam Zuidoost. Developed by the City of Amsterdam in the 1960s, this district has long been popular among those who want to live close to the city without paying top prices.

Many homes in the Bijlmermeer area have been fully renovated since the 1990s. And if you think Zuidoost only consists of high-rise apartment buildings, think again. The district also offers affordable single-family homes with gardens in quiet, diverse neighborhoods filled with greenery. You do not need to look in IJburg or Amsterdam-Noord to find these options.

Amsterdam Zuidoost is also actively developing a wide range of new housing projects. These include smaller-scale developments that contribute to a varied housing supply and a mixed community, offering real opportunities for anyone looking to buy just outside the city center.

Diemen

Diemen is a highly attractive municipality for individuals and families who want to live close to Amsterdam while enjoying a slightly more intimate and green residential environment. It is a popular choice among home seekers, which makes it all the more important to search with focus and care for the right property.

Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam knows the local market in Diemen better than anyone and is happy to support you in your search. After all, quality of life starts with finding the right home at the right price.

Haarlem

Haarlem is an exceptionally popular city to live in. It is easy to see why many refer to it as “Amsterdam in miniature.” The charming historic city center and the diversity of surrounding neighborhoods make Haarlem a place where homebuyers truly have a wide range of options. With over 160,000 residents at the end of 2021, Haarlem ranks just outside the top ten largest municipalities in the Netherlands.

Hoofddorp

Hoofddorp is the main hub for services and amenities in the Haarlemmermeer region. Despite its name ending in “dorp” (village), Hoofddorp has all the characteristics of a medium-sized city, with nearly 78,000 residents by the end of 2021 and a wide range of facilities. The population has grown rapidly since 2016, as more and more homebuyers discover the many benefits of living in Hoofddorp.

Uithoorn

Uithoorn is a charming and scenic municipality located along the banks of the Amstel River. At the end of 2021, Uithoorn had just over 30,000 residents, a number expected to rise significantly in the coming years due to planned new housing developments in and around the town. The rural village of De Kwakel is also part of the municipality and is home to about one fifth of its population.

Weesp

Weesp is a beautiful and authentic fortified town located just outside Amsterdam. Since March 2022, Weesp has officially become part of the municipality of Amsterdam. As of mid-2021, the town had over 20,500 residents, a number that has grown significantly in recent years, mainly due to the increasing housing supply from newly completed development projects.
