Houthavens-Oost is a tiny neighbourhood of just 640 residents, and the building forms a close-knit community. One resident says: "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." The neighbourhood has a very high density of addresses (4,654 per km²), making it strongly urban, yet the building itself feels like a haven. Most homes are owner-occupied (56%), and the area is dominated by pre-war buildings (75%). Read more about the neighbourhood Houthavens-Oost.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including De Zeeheld and Montessori Basisschool de Eilanden. The Haarlemmerdijk and its markets are within walking distance for when you want hustle and bustle. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the amenities of a capital city, yet here you have peace and quiet, the wind, the seagulls, and the waves on the IJ.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Makelaarsland and also appears on Huispedia, so it is available through several channels.

Silodam 246, Amsterdam
Excellent · 1 resident
At 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!
