How residents experience their district
Lively atmosphere with sufficient facilities and easy accessibility to the rest of the country.
Auto-translated to English by AII think my neighbourhood is good in terms of my experience because all primary facilities like supermarkets, dentists or hospitals are just in the neighbourhood and easily accessible. Based on the people, I find it mediocre because some can be quite antisocial, for example they throw their rubbish everywhere, but there are still good ones among them. Lastly, waste management is fine, apart from the fact that rubbish is regularly thrown on the street, it is cleaned up by garbage men, but it would be good if street sweepers came more often because otherwise it keeps piling up.

Auto-translated to English by AILots to do and experience, and many different cultures come together here. Unfortunately, the gap between rich and poor is hugely noticeable, and gentrification is increasing due to rising rents and a lack of housing in other parts of Amsterdam. A lot of theft, vandalism, and general dirt on the streets, etc. Hopefully it will get better for everyone over time.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery vibrant cultural community that is expanding and reviving. Unfortunately, it has been stigmatised for too long, resulting in petty crime (theft, dumping waste...) and undesirable behaviour being common.
Auto-translated to English by AISafety could be a bit better, lots of junkies and men displaying dangerous behaviour, especially at the gate and towards the arena.. very unfortunate as a woman or young child who just wants to play or get something to eat. Many homeless people use the public water fountains, which is not a problem at all, but given the fact that they probably don't shower or wash their hands, it's not exactly hygienic to make direct contact with the tap with your face or hands..

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 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.
