Good · 1 resident
We moved from Elandsgracht 2 hoog-voor with one child and pregnant with number two to North 22 years ago. Everyone thought we were crazy, 'North is insane', etc. My husband was born and raised on Elandsgracht but we couldn't afford a larger home there. He grew up in 'the slum' and saw it turn into a 'yuppie neighbourhood'. Few real Jordaan residents left and hardly any social cohesion. We found that here. Amsterdammers, social cohesion and contact. Nice and green and a (then still) affordable rental house. We see that slowly changing. Blauwe Zand doesn't change as quickly as other parts of North but gentrification is hitting here too. After 22 years we have become Northerners (Blauwe Zanders) and if you ask our son where he's from, he'll never say Amsterdam but Amsterdam-Noord. Blauwe Zand is a nice neighbourhood but the new residents are less sociable and much has disappeared. Like the little building by the playground where the mothers used to sit cosily, they knew your child so you could let him go with peace of mind. That freedom was great for the children and parents. It hurts that our children will hardly be able to live here.

About Schiermonnikoogstraat 10, Amsterdam
At 60 m², that works out to about €10,833 per m², which is on the high side for a corner house in Amsterdam. The neighbourhood is pleasant and green, but the price reflects the current market. You can compare with other homes in the area to see if it fits your budget.
Blauwe Zand is a green, family-oriented part of Amsterdam-Noord with a strong community feel. One long-term resident describes it as having 'social cohesion and contact' and notes it's 'nice and green.' The area is slowly gentrifying but retains its character. It's very urban, with a high density of addresses, so amenities are close by.
The nearest train station is 5.1 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bike, bus or car to reach it. The neighbourhood is well served by other transport options, but for long-distance rail travel, plan ahead.
Several supermarkets are within a five-minute walk: SPAR express, Jumbo, Lidl and Albert Heijn. For schools, Damstede Lyceum is just 123 m away, and there are multiple secondary schools within 350 m. A primary school is also close, at 0.5 km.
The energy label is C, which is average for a house of this age. It means the home is reasonably well insulated but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy bills, but improvements like better insulation or solar panels could bring costs down.
The listing does not mention a garden. The plot is 119 m², but that includes the footprint of the house.
