NeighbourhoodThis 58 m² apartment on IJtochtkade 40A sits in a quiet part of Zwanenburg, a village that feels a world away from the bustle of Amsterdam yet is close enough for a daily commute.

One resident describes it as 'child-friendly', though they note that the playgrounds could do with an update and that dog waste is an issue in the park. The area has a village feel, with most daily needs within walking distance. The neighbourhood Zwanenburg Zuidwest is home to about 1,050 people, and the housing stock is split between houses and flats.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Lidl and Dirk are a couple of streets away.

It's a cosy village but the small playgrounds are in need of replacement. Since the playground has a winter break and children occasionally want to play outside in all weathers, that's a shame! And regarding the 'old' park, it's not pleasant for children because you first have to check every patch of grass for dog poo. It has become more of a dog walking spot than a 'clean play park'. I would recommend placing a dog waste bin with a fence around it.
