Very good · 1 resident
Overall a very child-friendly neighbourhood. It is not often appreciated if noise is made late at night because most people have to work and/or have children who need to get up early. Keep that in mind because if you like parties, Duivendrecht might not be your place. It is a village, located between Diemen and Amsterdam Zuidoost, among others. Many people grew up here themselves and know each other. There is a sense of togetherness and often a chat is made with neighbours on the village square. Most children go to one of the two primary schools that Duivendrecht has. That makes it easy and pleasant to arrange playdates because almost all friends live in Duivendrecht. Because the metro stops nearby and a bus runs through the village, Duivendrecht is easily accessible by public transport. At Duivendrecht station you can even take the train. The village has a supermarket, chemist, tobacconist and eateries, among others. For shopping, it is best to go to one of the shopping centres in the surrounding municipalities. You can shop at the Amsterdamse Poort in Zuidoost, Diemen Centrum and Oostpoort in Amsterdam Oost. A nice, quiet village that you have to love.
