Buying a home in Amstel III/Bullewijk, Amsterdam.
Amstel III and Bullewijk are where you'll find spacious homes from the 1970s and 80s, most with gardens, and families who've put down roots here. It's quieter than central Amsterdam, yet you're a short bike ride to De Pijp or Amsterdam Oost. The neighborhood has real community feel—parents know each other through schools and local sports clubs. Shops and cafés cluster around Bijlmerplein and the Amstel Station area, so it's not equally walkable everywhere.

Best things and drawbacks to living in Amstel III/Bullewijk
Pros:
- Directly on the Amstel: many homes have water or green frontage, and you can walk straight to the river for a terrace or cycle trip along the waterfront
- Quick cycle route to the centre via Weesperzijde and Sarphatistraat (15–20 minutes)
- Amstel III station (Metro 51/54) gets you to Central in 10 minutes, to Schiphol in 15
- Lots of new-build and renovated 1970s apartments: modern homes, not much legacy of poor maintenance
- Quiet living without being far from the city; little night noise or crowds
Cons:
- Limited shopping: no large supermarket in the neighbourhood itself; you rely on Albert Heijn at Rembrandtplein or Carrefour in Oost
- Little nightlife: no horeca cluster like De Pijp or Oud-West
- Most homes are apartments in blocks; few single-family houses with gardens
- Cycling to the centre is fast, but the neighbourhood doesn't feel culturally connected to Amsterdam-centre
- Parking is difficult; many residents own cars and streets are narrow

What does Amstel III/Bullewijk offer?
When you buy in Amsterdam, you're not just getting a house, you're joining a neighbourhood with its own rhythm. Most homes date from the 17th and 18th centuries, so expect narrow staircases, low ceilings, and windows overlooking canals or streets. Your neighbours are a mix: families rooted here for generations, young professionals, artists. Public transport works well, but most Amsterdammers simply cycle everywhere. What matters: it's busy, prices are steep, and you're paying for the location.
