Experiences from Venserpolder
How residents experience their district
I have quite a lot of experience with the neighbourhood; it's a very nice neighbourhood and there is a community centre called Boeninhuis and it's so nice there, the teacher helps a lot, there is a food bank, there are shops, and there is an AH to go at the station. It's a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in; everyone helps everyone when needed. There are many schools: BHC, TASC, Orion College, and another school next to Orion College, and Klaverblad, De Schakel, De Dreef. There is a school for almost everyone except havo/vwo students, but it's like a top neighbourhood. You can also do quite a lot here; it's quite safe here and you can get from Venserpolder to many places because there are metro stations, bus stations, train stations, buses that go abroad. The streets are sometimes clean, it depends on which block, but my block is clean, although here and there I still see litter. And the houses vary too: you have townhouses, you have flats, you have family homes, you have new homes, sometimes you have really big houses but also small ones like studios. It's a very nice neighbourhood, Venserpolder.
Auto-translated to English by AIThis is a very nice neighbourhood but it could be better
Auto-translated to English by AIThe racist, mentally broken, lowest class dirts come together in this neighbourhood. This is the hell in the Netherlands. The lowest, the ugliest ever seen. I've been all over the country. Really, either the government wants to keep this place like this to isolate the sick people from the rest of society, that's their plan, or I can't imagine they are not aware how critical the situation is in Venserpolder. They must put the cameras back on the streets and police must walk around a couple of times every day. There should be some places open where you can get back to the Amsterdam spirit. Cafes or cultural places for other than Surinamese culture. They are here being perfectly isolated and raise their kids racist against anything white and the government has no idea about it or they have some other sick plans. Because this neighbourhood needs a deep cleaning and social rebuilding!

Experiences from Amsterdam
How residents experience their municipality
IJburg is a new district still under development and it's getting better with all the amenities and a beach nearby. And you're also quickly out of the city and into the greenery.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, peaceful, relaxed, green, social and a nice mix of people
Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about 12 years. The neighbourhood has clear advantages: good connections by tram, bus and ferry/boat, plenty of supermarkets, gyms and practical amenities nearby. For me, however, there was one major drawback: structural low-frequency noise, demonstrably coming from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. If you are sensitive to that, it can be very burdensome. In my case, it was clearly noticeable indoors, especially at night. Neighbours said they slept with earplugs and extra insulation offered limited to no solution. The municipality took measurements at the time and acknowledged that the noise was significant, but indicated they could do little or nothing about it because the source fell outside their direct authority. My honest advice: visit this neighbourhood not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night, and pay specific attention to low-frequency humming or vibrations. For people sensitive to noise, I would personally strongly advise against this location.

Auto-translated to English by AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the end of the Silodam lies the striking MVRDV building. Surrounded by water on all sides. Every apartment has a view of the IJ and/or the Oude Houthaven. The views are therefore phenomenal and every day is different due to the weather. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable. Because the building is at the end of the Silodam, there is no through traffic and every person is either a resident or a visitor. This makes it, by Amsterdam standards, an exceptionally safe living environment. There is little turnover. The residents of this building form a close-knit community. A nice mix of families with and without children and single people who help each other where needed. And that too is a special quality in an increasingly transient Amsterdam. Within walking distance are the Haarlemmerdijk and the markets where you can find all the hustle and bustle if you feel like it. On the Silodam there is peace and quiet, a delight for body and mind. The wind, the seagulls, the waves on the IJ, the boats, occasionally a cruise ship, and every 5 years Sail! A little paradise in Amsterdam? Absolutely!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the city but still close to many good amenities that a city has to offer. The neighbourhood is still becoming more beautiful.
