Borneo is one of the artificial islands in the Oostelijk Havengebied, known for its bold architecture and waterside living. With 2,715 residents, it's a mix of families (500 households with children) and couples without kids (315). The area is densely urban (4,389 addresses per km²), yet it feels open because of the water. There are no resident reviews available for this listing, but the neighbourhood is popular for its unique character and proximity to the city centre.
For groceries, the nearest Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a Jumbo is a couple of streets away. Schools are close: Basisschool De Achthoek is a five-minute walk, and Montessori Lyceum Pax is about a ten-minute walk for secondary education. A park or public garden is a five-minute walk, and restaurants are on your doorstep. The municipality Amsterdam offers extensive amenities, though the train station is a bit further out.
