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 AIThere are no good places to be outside. The Theo van Gogh park is ugly and not cosy. No nice benches in spots and no things like a gym (chain), coffeeshop or late-night snack bar or the like.
Auto-translated to English by AIvery boring. no nice areas or interesting playgrounds. also no nice seating spots.
Auto-translated to English by AIMany speed bumps, few public transport options.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is generally quite nice and safe, but there are a few neighbours who can be extremely rude and threatening, and that is very disappointing.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is neighbourhood prevention, street coaches, etc., the streets are relatively clean, there are some parks and from my house some nature area(-like) is accessible. There are water pumps, playgrounds, rubbish bins. Houses are expensive and there is little public transport, the bridges are annoying.

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 AINo public transport!
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.
