Living in Amsterdamse Poort, Amsterdam
Amsterdamse Poort is the commercial heart of Amsterdam-Zuidoost. The neighbourhood takes its name from the covered shopping centre that has stood here since the 1980s and has been significantly expanded and renovated over the years. You don't live here in a quiet green enclave, but right in the hustle and bustle of a district centre. The homes are predominantly stacked flats from the 1970s and 1980s, typical of the Bijlmermeer, interspersed with newer apartment complexes built after the large-scale renewal of Zuidoost. Expect compact apartments, often with a gallery or porch, and the occasional larger new-build apartment.

Lots to do and experience, and many different cultures come together here.
