Life in Borneo
The Borneo neighbourhood is a purpose-built island neighbourhood, completed around the turn of the millennium. The streets are laid out in a simple grid, with low-rise blocks and plenty of water views. The population skews towards families and couples in their thirties and forties, and the mix of ages gives the area a settled, community feel. It is a place where people tend to stay, which says something about how pleasant it is to live here.

For daily shopping, the nearest Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with a Jumbo a short walk further. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including Dalton Kind Centrum de Kleine Kapitein and Basisschool De Achthoek, so the school run is easy on foot. A secondary school, Montessori Lyceum Pax, is also close by. The wider municipality of Amsterdam is easily reached, with the city centre a short cycle away.
