Osdorp (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɔzdɔr(ə)p]) is neighbourhood of Amsterdam, Netherlands. A larger area was, from 1981 until 2010, a stadsdeel (borough) of Amsterdam and in 2010 was merged into the new borough of Amsterdam Nieuw-West.

Neighborhood

The core neighborhood of Osdorp is centered on Osdorpplein square and its 150-store shopping center. As the borough of Nieuw-West officially defines neighborhoods, Osdorp is actually split between the neighborhoods of "Nieuw-West Midden" and "Osdorp West".

Former borough

The former borough of Osdorp contained the following neighborhoods:

  • Osdorp
  • De Aker* (Middelveldsche Akerpolder)
  • Lutkemeer
  • Ookmeer
  • Oud Osdorp (former village)
  • Sloten (village, now officially part of the neighborhood "Sloten and Nieuw-Sloten"*)

The borough had (in late 2006) 45,627 residents and was 11.3 square kilometres (4.4 sq mi) in size.
