Experiences from Oostelijke Eilanden/Kadijken
How residents experience their district
I have nice neighbours and the neighbourhood is nice. The municipality falls short on cleaning, here and in the rest of Amsterdam. The dog policy is not respected at all here and also not enforced!!! My only unpleasant experience here in the neighbourhood was not really properly resolved by the police.... I don't miss the quay and find it a pity that the municipality makes the houseboat policy so ridiculously complicated.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice pleasant rural greetings and you too enjoy their flowers many open spaces where you can drink coffee eat and super nice neighbourhood surroundings with water as a tourist attraction and transport. The neighbours greet the same tourists chat and ask about streets neighbourhood museums. With maritime museum also weekend visitors from other neighbourhoods tell about when they were here friends with people who are already gone. Not easy to park sometimes very busy on the road and with a shop downstairs parking spaces are if you pay. Otherwise very busy when police drive you hear the beautiful church bells children with their school teachers walking. It is picturesque sometimes you find painters with their materials. I moved a few months ago I live better because I have more air and space. Many birds nothing for nothing this neighbourhood is called the Amazon of Europe.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood here is nice and child-friendly, there are 2 playgrounds nearby and they are big, also there are plenty of shops in the area and it is a nice neighbourhood.

Experiences from Amsterdam
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.
