What is the neighbourhood like for families?
The neighbourhood has a family-friendly feel, with many households with children. There are several primary schools within walking distance, like Laterna Magica and De Schatkaart. However, some residents mention a lack of interesting playgrounds and cosy outdoor spots. The Theo van Gogh park is nearby but described as 'ugly and not cosy' by one resident.
How noisy is the area?
Some residents report low-frequency noise from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal, which can be noticeable indoors, especially at night.
