A third resident notes: "In my opinion, Overhoeks is a beautiful, quiet neighbourhood. It's convenient that you can be in the heart of Amsterdam within 10 minutes without having to deal with the hustle and bustle of the centre."

About Bercylaan 9, Amsterdam
The rent of €1,199 is significantly below the average for the neighbourhood, which stands at €2,751. This makes it a keenly priced option, especially for a modern apartment with an A energy label. However, the listing does not specify the number of rooms, so it's worth considering the size relative to your needs.
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient rating. This means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low energy costs. The label is an official registration, so you can rely on its accuracy.
The nearest Albert Heijn is just 35 metres away, so it's on your doorstep. There are also several other supermarkets within a short distance, including AH to go stores at around 581, 665, 762, and 773 metres. For a larger supermarket, you might need to cycle a bit further, as some residents mention.
There are several schools within walking distance. The Hyperion Lyceum, a secondary school, is 178 metres away. For primary education, IKC Overhoeks is 358 metres away, and Openbare Basisschool IJplein is 784 metres away. There are also other options within a kilometre.
The train station is 5.6 kilometres away. This is a bit of a distance, so you might prefer to use other transport options like the ferry or bus to get around. The neighbourhood is well connected to the city centre by ferry.
Overhoeks is a modern, quiet neighbourhood with a safe atmosphere. Residents appreciate its calmness and the easy access to the city centre. However, some note that the local supermarket is small, and there are still some shops missing. The neighbourhood has a mix of young adults and families, with many single-person households.

Auto-translated to English by AII've been living on Hetty Blokstraat for 2 years now. And I think it's a great neighbourhood. With nice people and beautiful energy-efficient houses. The public transport connections are unfortunately not great. But since this is a new district, I think that will change. I think it's a super nice neighbourhood and I don't think I'll ever leave this neighbourhood.

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.
