Best things and drawbacks to living in Stadionbuurt
Pros:
- Direct tram connection to Central Station via lines 2 and 3, no transfers needed
- Close to Apollohall and Melkweg for live music and theatre, without living in the Red Light District
- Plenty of 1930s housing stock with original details, not standard new-build
- Relatively quiet for Amsterdam, yet only 5 minutes by bike from Leidseplein
- Well-served by neighbourhood shops on Stadionkade and Apollolaan, not just chains
Cons:
- House prices rising fast; you pay nearly as much as De Pijp, but it's less 'in'
- Many students and young professionals partying in the area, especially around Olympiaplein
- Apollohalls and events at Olympiaplein create noise and crowded streets on Friday and Saturday nights
- Parking is difficult; many residents have no dedicated spot and hunt for street parking
- Limited green space: Olympiaplein is small and often busy, no large park nearby

What does Stadionbuurt 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.
