Student neighbourhood with attitude: how residents experience Amsterdamse Poort and surrounding area
On the neighbourhood page of Amsterdamse Poort and surrounding area, residents give the area a 6.8 out of 10. That is not an outstanding score, but the details tell a more nuanced story. Safety scores notably high at 8.5 and amenities receive an 8.0. Resident JRP sums it up succinctly: "Student neighbourhood and easy to get everywhere." The neighbourhood indeed has a young character. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years old and there are many students, partly thanks to the proximity of Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA station and good public transport connections to the rest of the city.
Emely, who gives the neighbourhood an 8.2, mentions an important plus point: all primary amenities such as supermarkets, dentists and hospitals are right in the area. The Amsterdamse Poort shopping centre at Bijlmerplein is the beating heart, with dozens of shops and eateries. At the same time, she is honest about the downside: some residents behave antisocially and leave litter on the streets. This also explains the low score for cleanliness (4.8). It is the lowest sub-score and if you walk through the D-buurt or F-buurt, you sometimes notice this from litter around the flats.
Yet resident Gabriel calls the neighbourhood "unexpectedly good" and praises the cosiness and the surprisingly present nature. The Nelson Mandelapark indeed offers a green lung in the middle of the Bijlmer, where you can go for a run or have a picnic. Accessibility scores the lowest after cleanliness at 5.5, which probably has to do with the busy transfer at Bijlmer ArenA and the sometimes crowded metros towards the centre. Education scores well (7.5) and there are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including around Vogeltjeswei. On the website of the municipality of Amsterdam you can find more information about schools and neighbourhood facilities in Zuidoost.

Auto-translated to English by AII think my neighbourhood is good in terms of my experience because all primary facilities like supermarkets, dentists or hospitals are just in the neighbourhood and easily accessible. Based on the people, I find it mediocre because some can be quite antisocial, for example they throw their rubbish everywhere, but there are still good ones among them. Lastly, waste management is fine, apart from the fact that rubbish is regularly thrown on the street, it is cleaned up by garbage men, but it would be good if street sweepers came more often because otherwise it keeps piling up.

Auto-translated to English by AILots to do and experience, and many different cultures come together here. Unfortunately, the gap between rich and poor is hugely noticeable, and gentrification is increasing due to rising rents and a lack of housing in other parts of Amsterdam. A lot of theft, vandalism, and general dirt on the streets, etc. Hopefully it will get better for everyone over time.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery vibrant cultural community that is expanding and reviving. Unfortunately, it has been stigmatised for too long, resulting in petty crime (theft, dumping waste...) and undesirable behaviour being common.
Auto-translated to English by AISafety could be a bit better, lots of junkies and men displaying dangerous behaviour, especially at the gate and towards the arena.. very unfortunate as a woman or young child who just wants to play or get something to eat. Many homeless people use the public water fountains, which is not a problem at all, but given the fact that they probably don't shower or wash their hands, it's not exactly hygienic to make direct contact with the tap with your face or hands..
