Neighbourhood

Theophile de Bockstraat lies in the charming Hoofddorppleinbuurt (Amsterdam South), a lively yet tranquil residential area with excellent amenities. Around the Hoofddorpplein one finds a delightful selection of artisanal shops, including a cheese specialist, wine merchant, greengrocer, butcher, baker and patisserie. Larger shops and supermarkets, such as Hema, Etos and Ekoplaza, are located along the Sloterkade.

The area also offers an extensive variety of cafés and restaurants, including Caffénation (just across the street), Foodbar 63 Graden, Gent aan de Schinkel, Ron Gastrobar, Drovers Dog, Van Mechelen and Bar Bonnie. In the summer months residents enjoy swimming, boating or paddleboarding on the Westlandgracht. Both the Vondelpark and Rembrandtpark are within walking distance, whilst the Amsterdamse Bos can be reached by bicycle in approximately 15 minutes.

It is no coincidence that the area is highly favoured by couples, young professionals and international residents.

Accessibility

The location is exceptionally well connected. The A10 ring road can be reached within minutes via both the S106 and S107. Public transport options are plentiful: tram line 2 departs from Hoofddorpplein towards the city centre and Central Station; bus line 15 connects to Zuid and Sloterdijk; whilst tram lines 1 and 17 at the Surinameplein provide quick access to Station Lelylaan, from where Schiphol is just 10 minutes away.
