Amstelveen offers a great variety of accommodation: both newer and older buildings are available, and you can find apartments as well as freestanding houses. Opportunities for renting or buying are abundant but you can expect to pay more for some of the newer developments like those in Westwijk. Other popular areas include Elsrijk, north of the town centre and known for its spacious tree-lined streets. Patrimonium is a favourite with families as it offers loads of outside space and runs alongside the peaceful Amsterdamse Bos.
