Veluwebuurt, Amsterdam
This apartment on the Peelstraat sits in the Veluwebuurt, a calm pocket of Amsterdam's Scheldebuurt district. Built in 2012, it has a fresh, contemporary feel that matches its energy label A. At €1,550 per month, the rent sits about 25% below the neighbourhood average of €2,055, which makes it a keen option when you consider the [apartments in Amsterdam]( /huurwoningen/amsterdam/appartementen/ ) market.
The Veluwebuurt is a quiet, residential area with a mix of ages. Around 64% of households are single-person, and the average household size is 1.6, so it's a place where many people live alone. The streets are lined with low-rise housing, and the vibe is relaxed rather than bustling. With an address density of over 5,000 per square kilometre, it's still very much part of the city, but the pace feels gentler than the centre. [The Veluwebuurt neighbourhood]( /buurt/veluwebuurt-amsterdam/ ) has a small, community feel, with a park just a short stroll away.
Daily errands are easy from here. For groceries, the Dirk is just around the corner, with Vomar and Coop a couple of streets away. For school runs, the primary school 15e montessorischool van Maas en Waal is a five-minute walk, and there's also a secondary school, Hubertus & Berkhoff, De Culinaire Vakschool, within a few minutes' walk. The train station is about a kilometre away, and a GP practice is close by. [The municipality of Amsterdam]( /gemeente/amsterdam/ ) offers all the city's amenities, from restaurants to libraries, within easy reach.

How residents experience their district
I have been living in this neighbourhood for 19 years now and have a good relationship with our neighbours. Fun events are regularly organised that the neighbourhood can join in with. My children went to school here and have built up many friends in the area. It is a cosy little village, most people know each other and care about one another.
Auto-translated to English by AIPleasant living in this neighbourhood. Mostly local traffic, so the bustle is very manageable. Feels like a village in the city. Close to various schools, Beatrixpark and the centre. The Scheldestraat, Maasstraat and Beethovenstraat shopping streets are within walking distance. Child-friendly. The only downside is the busy traffic on the Scheldestraat, which can cause dangerous situations.

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 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.
