Buying a home in Landlust, Amsterdam.
Landlust is a quiet neighbourhood on Amsterdam's southeast side where you'll find plenty of families with children. The homes are mostly from the 1960s and 70s: solid construction, generous space, and gardens that are genuinely larger than elsewhere in the city. Schools, playgrounds, and Bijlmerpark are all within walking distance. It feels less touristy than the centre, yet you're twenty minutes from Central Station.

What does Landlust 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.
