The neighbourhood has a strong urban feel, with plenty of amenities close by, yet it never feels crowded.
Life on the street
For daily errands, the Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, with a Dirk just around the corner and an AH to go a couple of streets away. School runs are easy too: Calvijn College is a five-minute walk, and Daltonschool Louis Bouwmeester is just a bit further.

The municipality of Amsterdam keeps the area well connected, so you are never far from the rest of the city.
