I've lived here since 1985 and wouldn't want to leave.

Because more and more newcomers are arriving, it's becoming a cosy, child-friendly neighbourhood. It's also a nice, friendly neighbourhood for children.

Nice neighbourhood in the most beautiful district of Amsterdam / Gein is Fijn!

Gein is a nice, safe and quiet neighbourhood in a beautiful natural area in Zuidoost, the most beautiful district of Amsterdam. It is very child-friendly and easily accessible by car and public transport. It is very wheelchair-friendly, and with a mobility scooter several shopping centres outside Gein are also very accessible, such as Reigersbos, Holendrecht and a bit further Amsterdamse Poort. Gein is truly lovely!

Glad I live here

I live in a good neighbourhood. For 42 years now, but I don't have much contact with the neighbours. But if you need them, they're there. It's a safe and quiet neighbourhood.
