How residents experience their district
I find the Architectenbuurt in Amsterdam so lovely because it is a neighbourhood that immediately stands out due to its special layout and architecture. The houses are all designed with an eye for detail, and it's almost as if you're walking through an open-air museum. Each street has its own character, giving the neighbourhood a unique appearance. What I also really appreciate is the quiet and green environment. Despite being in Amsterdam, it feels spacious and calm here. The streets are wide, there are many trees, and there is plenty of space to sit outside or take a walk. Additionally, the contact with the neighbours is very pleasant. It feels like a real community where people know and help each other. When something is organised, like a neighbourhood drink or a small street party, everyone is enthusiastic. The location is also ideal. Within a few minutes you are in the bustling centre of Amsterdam or at the market, but in the Architectenbuurt you still have the peace and the feeling of home of a nice residential area.
Auto-translated to English by AIDiverse! Nice green spaces and attention for the neighbourhood. The first batch of residents are heading towards 60 and older. From new to dynamic. From rental to owner-occupied. I'm glad the (neighbourhood) children were able to grow up well here. Now I see them walking with their own children. Time doesn't stand still. Beautiful, nice little piece of Amsterdam. In the city and yet small. In terms of accessibility, there is only public transport via the Veelaan. At the 'back side' there is no transport, or you have to walk quite a long way to the tram. Especially if you live at the end of the Cruquisweg. I also miss the postboxes. On the cycle path, unfortunately, especially at the weekend, there is often shouting and yelling, possibly from the nightlife crowd. A night bus and regular bus would be really appreciated!
Auto-translated to English by AIThe municipality changed the streets 3 years ago, lots of electric car charging points, lots of greenery but neglected. They promised to put back the playgrounds they removed. Well, fighting for 2 years now, no playground and every time they promise. Also a general disabled parking spot we still don't have. We no longer go to the information days because nothing comes of it anyway. Now the playgrounds are used for parking, which is not allowed but they don't care.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here since 1989. Watching the neighbourhood grow and rise. There are changes. Improvement but also a lot of commerce. Rental homes being converted into exorbitantly expensive apartments. There is a sense of togetherness, but mainly among the old guard residents. The surroundings have certainly improved in terms of greenery. There could be a few more amenities. Low-threshold hospitality, a bus connection, letterboxes again. I hope to be able to live here for a long time yet.
Auto-translated to English by AIInnovative yet familiar. I've lived here for over 35 years and have seen the neighbourhood being built. Many changes. Not always positive, but a lot is done to make it pleasant. It's a mix of cultures, education, etc. A neighbourhood where I hope to stay for a long time. So nice that my grandchildren also enjoy playing here. The municipality and housing associations invest in and maintain the buildings and properties. There are schools in the neighbourhood, a supermarket, nice eateries. A bus connection and postboxes would be welcome again. This neighbourhood where I live (from Veelaan to the end of Cruquisweg) often gives me a kind of glamour feeling. I feel at home here.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a beautiful and safe neighbourhood, with many young families. There are many amenities nearby.

How residents experience their municipality
IJburg is a new district still under development and it's getting better with all the amenities and a beach nearby. And you're also quickly out of the city and into the greenery.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, peaceful, relaxed, green, social and a nice mix of people
Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about 12 years. The neighbourhood has clear advantages: good connections by tram, bus and ferry/boat, plenty of supermarkets, gyms and practical amenities nearby. For me, however, there was one major drawback: structural low-frequency noise, demonstrably coming from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. If you are sensitive to that, it can be very burdensome. In my case, it was clearly noticeable indoors, especially at night. Neighbours said they slept with earplugs and extra insulation offered limited to no solution. The municipality took measurements at the time and acknowledged that the noise was significant, but indicated they could do little or nothing about it because the source fell outside their direct authority. My honest advice: visit this neighbourhood not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night, and pay specific attention to low-frequency humming or vibrations. For people sensitive to noise, I would personally strongly advise against this location.

Auto-translated to English by AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt 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!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the city but still close to many good amenities that a city has to offer. The neighbourhood is still becoming more beautiful.
