Landelijk gebied Driemond, Amsterdam

Living in Landelijk gebied Driemond

Landelijk gebied Driemond is more village than city in feel, and most of its 46 homes are houses rather than apartments — front doors, gardens, street parking.

With just 97 residents per km², this is space by Dutch standards.

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 Landelijk gebied Driemond

The average home value (WOZ) in Landelijk gebied Driemond is €1,025,000, which puts it at #21 of 424 neighborhoods in Amsterdam — 103% above the city median. That premium is the location speaking. For scale: Amsterdam's cheapest buurt averages €58,000 and its most expensive €2,250,000, so Landelijk gebied Driemond sits in the upper band of the city.

The direction of the market: between 2023 and 2025 the average WOZ value here fell from €1,022,000 to €869,000, down 15% — slower than the city as a whole (+0%). WOZ values lag the market by about a year, but the trend itself is reliable.

With 91% of homes owner-occupied, this is a settled buyers' neighborhood — homes change hands regularly, and you can usually find recent comparable sales on the same street to anchor your bid. Settled also means slower: owners here tend to stay, so the best houses may only list once a decade.

Who lives here

Demographically, Landelijk gebied Driemond is dominated by established households in the 45-to-65 bracket (33% of its 150 residents), followed by children under 15 at 26%. 67% of households have children at home, so expect school runs, playgrounds in use, and neighbors who stay put. The average household counts 3.3 people.

Daily errands, coffee and dinner

Day to day: plan your groceries: the nearest large supermarket is 3.4 km away; this is not a going-out neighborhood — the cafés are elsewhere.

The practical checklist most buyers forget to make: pharmacy 36 min walk · GP 36 min · hospital 4.5 km · library 3.5 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 11 minutes on foot; daycare is 0.8 km away — check waiting lists early, they are long everywhere in the Netherlands; secondary school is a 14-minute bike ride, which Dutch teenagers do in all weather.

Getting around

Getting around: the nearest train station is 4.2 km out, so day-to-day life here leans on the car or bus; a highway on-ramp 1.2 km away makes car trips easy — check whether through-traffic noise reaches the street you're considering.

Before you bid in Landelijk gebied Driemond

Before you bid in Landelijk gebied Driemond: in a premium buurt the risk isn't buying a bad home, it's overpaying for a good one — anchor your bid on recent sales of comparable homes, not on the asking price. Also, family neighborhoods like this one turn over slowly; when a good house appears it often goes to the first serious, well-prepared bidder.

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.
