Blauwe Zand, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1930s terraced house on Terschellingstraat sits in Blauwe Zand, a neighbourhood that still feels like a village within the city. With 60 m² of living space and a 103 m² plot, it's compact but has its own front door and a private garden, a rare combination in Amsterdam at this price. At €600,000, the asking price is in line with what other [terraced houses in Amsterdam] go for.
Blauwe Zand is a tight-knit community where neighbours still know each other. One resident who has lived here for 22 years says: 'We found social cohesion and contact here. 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.' The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with many families and a high proportion of single-family homes (77%). It's a place where children could play freely, though the resident notes that 'the new residents are less sociable and much has disappeared.' For a closer look at the area, check out the [neighbourhood Blauwe Zand].
Your morning bread run is a five-minute walk to SPAR express or Jumbo, both just around the corner. For primary school, Oecumenische basisschool DOK10 is a couple of streets away, and secondary schools like Damstede Lyceum are even closer, literally on your doorstep. The [municipality Amsterdam] keeps the city buzzing, but here in the north you're also near green spaces: a park is just a few minutes' walk away.

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.
