A third review mentions shortcomings in municipal cleaning and dog policy, but overall the neighbourhood scores a 6.57 out of 10 from three reviews. The area is densely urban (5,415 addresses per km²) and home to many singles and young professionals. This is the neighbourhood Wittenburg in a nutshell.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Vomar is a couple of streets away. The Alan Turingschool is a five-minute walk, and Basisschool Oostelijke Eilanden is also within easy reach. The municipality Amsterdam keeps the city buzzing, but here on the island you get a bit more peace, though parking can be busy, as residents note.

I have nice neighbours and the neighbourhood is nice. The municipality falls short on cleaning, here and in the rest of Amsterdam. The dog policy is not respected at all here and also not enforced!!! My only unpleasant experience here in the neighbourhood was not really properly resolved by the police.... I don't miss the quay and find it a pity that the municipality makes the houseboat policy so ridiculously complicated.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice pleasant rural greetings and you too enjoy their flowers many open spaces where you can drink coffee eat and super nice neighbourhood surroundings with water as a tourist attraction and transport. The neighbours greet the same tourists chat and ask about streets neighbourhood museums. With maritime museum also weekend visitors from other neighbourhoods tell about when they were here friends with people who are already gone. Not easy to park sometimes very busy on the road and with a shop downstairs parking spaces are if you pay. Otherwise very busy when police drive you hear the beautiful church bells children with their school teachers walking. It is picturesque sometimes you find painters with their materials. I moved a few months ago I live better because I have more air and space. Many birds nothing for nothing this neighbourhood is called the Amazon of Europe.
