Life on Java-eiland
Java-eiland is a slender island of quays and courtyards, where the streets have a calm, almost village-like feel despite being in the middle of Amsterdam. Residents of the wider Oostelijk Havengebied district give their area an average score of 7.48, based on seven reviews. One resident describes the architecture as almost like an open-air museum, with each street having its own character, and appreciates the quiet, green environment. Another notes the diversity of the population, from the first residents now heading towards 60 to young families, and values the sense of community. The same resident does point out that public transport is only available via the Veelaan, and that the nightlife crowd can sometimes be noisy on the cycle path at weekends. The neighbourhood itself has around 3,130 residents, and about half of households are single-person. For a closer look at what this area is like, see [the Java-eiland neighbourhood].
