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.
