Bedrijventerrein Landlust, Amsterdam

Living in Bedrijventerrein Landlust

Bedrijventerrein Landlust is densely built and genuinely urban, and living here overwhelmingly means apartment living — 99% of the stock is flats.

At 5,421 residents per km² the buurt is busy without being packed. Water makes up 21% of its surface — canals and waterfront are part of daily scenery here, and so are the price tags of homes that face them.

Amsterdam is the tightest housing market in the Netherlands: international workers, students and families chase the same limited stock, overbidding is routine in popular price bands, and a large social-housing sector keeps much of the city permanently off the open market. Where a buurt sits relative to the ring road (A10) and a metro or tram line explains a surprising share of its price.

The housing market in Bedrijventerrein Landlust

The average home value (WOZ) in Bedrijventerrein Landlust is €408,000, which puts it at #325 of 424 neighborhoods in Amsterdam — 19% below the city median, which makes it one of the more approachable entry points into the city. For scale: Amsterdam's cheapest buurt averages €58,000 and its most expensive €2,250,000, so Bedrijventerrein Landlust sits in the budget band of the city.

The direction of the market: between 2023 and 2025 the average WOZ value here rose from €407,000 to €409,000, up 0% — roughly in step with the rest of the city. WOZ values lag the market by about a year, but the trend itself is reliable.

Ownership is split: 41% owner-occupied against 59% rental, including 10% social housing. Enough homes trade hands to give you comparable sales, but check what's actually for sale versus rented in the specific block you're eyeing — the mix can flip from one street to the next.

Who lives here

Demographically, Bedrijventerrein Landlust is shaped by people in their late twenties to early forties (73% of its 585 residents), followed by 45-to-65 year olds at 9%. More than half of all households (63%) are single-person — this is a neighborhood of independents, not minivans. The average household counts 1.5 people.

As for who your neighbors would be: incomes skew modest — 41% of households are in the lower national bracket.

Daily errands, coffee and dinner

Day to day: the nearest large supermarket is about 4 minutes' walk; eating out is the default here — around 26 cafés and restaurants inside a kilometer.

The practical checklist most buyers forget to make: pharmacy 6 min walk · GP 11 min · hospital 2.6 km · library 1.5 km · 9 cinemas within 5 km. None of these will decide a purchase on their own, but a GP taking new patients nearby is the kind of thing you only miss after moving.

Families and schools

For families: the nearest primary school is 8 minutes on foot; daycare is well covered (8 locations nearby) — though Dutch waiting lists mean you register the week you know you're expecting, not the week you need it; secondary school is a 5-minute bike ride, which Dutch teenagers do in all weather.

Getting around

Getting around: the station is an 11-minute cycle, standard Dutch commuting range; a highway on-ramp 1.1 km away makes car trips easy — check whether through-traffic noise reaches the street you're considering; and at 0.4 cars per household, most residents simply don't own one — if you do, factor in permit costs and waiting lists before you buy.

Energy and running costs

Since 100% of the stock predates 2000, always check the energy label of a specific listing — the difference between label C and label F on an average home here is easily a few thousand euros a year in heating, and it changes what you can sensibly bid.

Before you bid in Bedrijventerrein Landlust

Before you bid in Bedrijventerrein Landlust: much of Amsterdam sits on soft soil, and pre-1970 homes may stand on wooden piles — since the 2026 appraisal rules, a foundation risk class (A–E) appears in every valuation, so check it before you bid, not after the deal is already emotional. Also, the price gap with the rest of Amsterdam is real, but so is the reason for it — walk the neighborhood at different times of day before committing.

None of these averages can tell you whether the specific house you found is fairly priced — that depends on its size, energy label, state of maintenance and the recent sales around it. That is exactly what a free HomeReview report checks, in about 10 seconds, for any Dutch address.
