Another says: "It feels like a new city within the city, with everything you need nearby." The neighbourhood Houthavens-West is still developing, so the community is growing.

There are several primary schools within walking distance, including De Zeeheld and Daltonschool De Spaarndammerhout, both a five-minute walk. For secondary education, Het 4e Gymnasium is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers extensive amenities, but the immediate area has a restaurant and a GP's practice on your doorstep.
