How residents experience their district
Many groups and backgrounds. Beautiful nature and plenty of sports and play facilities. Harder to reach because of tram 26.
Auto-translated to English by AIHeavenly wide, not far from the bustling centre, with a good tram connection to Central Station. But other neighbourhoods always require multiple transfers, even adjacent ones. Connection within the neighbourhood and with other neighbourhoods and the city itself is what I miss most. The water in summer makes up for a lot of that, but winters are very isolated. Although the streets themselves are Dutch-regulated straight-laced grey, nature is all around the streets. I prefer to be there, and people are friendlier there, than on the street itself. Green spaces and human interaction do something to a person. Many cultures live side by side (plus point!), but unfortunately they don't mix to form a new culture. The snack bar around the corner is the best community centre. Just like nature here, really. Everything is arranged side by side, not organically. The neighbourhood is for the orderly, commuting person who longs for their own bubble when they come home. A lot of waste and food is left on the street (also cleaned up by the municipality), which in my view is linked to a lack of community building/neighbourly care, more self-interest and less interest in neighbourhood interactions. The police station in the neighbourhood is very friendly and easily approachable. That gives a pleasant sense of safety.
Auto-translated to English by AII find the neighbourhood very free, there are many families living here so I often feel safe and it's always cosy. There is a supermarket nearby, a hairdresser, a dentist and a restaurant so I only have to walk if I want something. There are many footpaths where you can walk. It's a very nice neighbourhood to live in!
Auto-translated to English by AII grew up here, great neighbourhood! Lots of memories and people I know. Been through a lot.

Auto-translated to English by AIWell my experience is more that there are sometimes conflicts with the neighbours but that mainly concerns the block itself. Sometimes we manage to sort it out but often it's also a few who make decisions, which could always be different in my opinion. Overall it is a safe neighbourhood. Where you can certainly have a laugh. There are lots of playgrounds for children which is very safe.

How residents experience their municipality
Een hele fijne, rustige buurt met veel groen en geweldige bomen die verkoeling en ontspanning bieden. 's nachts is het er stil en donker. Dat vind ik belangrijk voor de dieren. De buurt is goed bereikbaar met metro 54 en voorzieningen zijn op loopafstand in winkelcentrum de Poort. 1 ding is een ongelofelijke doorn in het oog en dat is de hygiene. Het is dagelijks een puinzoo bij de vuilcontainers. Zwerfafval waait overal naar toe. En hoewel we met een aantal bewoners dagelijks 'prikken' en opruimen is het een never ending story. Ik zou zo graag zien dat daar een oplossing voor komt.
Auto-translated to English by AIIJburg 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.
