Bovenkerk - Westwijk Noord: green and family-friendly, but watch the edges
Residents of Bovenkerk - Westwijk Noord rate their neighbourhood an 8.8 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl. That sounds high, and in many respects that picture is accurate.

The neighbourhood borders the Amsterdamse Bos and the Bovenkerkerpolder landscape, and you can be in the greenery within a few minutes on foot. There are primary schools nearby that are well-regarded (education scores a 9.5), and the composition of the neighbourhood confirms that: with 1,800 households with children, this is the largest group. The age category 45-65 is the most strongly represented with over 3,000 people, indicating that many families have stayed on after their children grew up.
Yet it is not all roses. Resident Brenda Visser warns on the neighbourhood page of Bovenkerk - Westwijk Noord about increasing waste problems: "The waste dumping is getting worse, small rubbish lies everywhere on the street and in the woods. By the containers, there is large waste every day as if people can't read." She gives the neighbourhood a 7.6 and scores cleanliness a 7.5, the lowest score of all categories. That contrast between the green environment and the litter is something you should consider as a future renter, especially if you live near the larger car parks. Accessibility scores an 8.0: there are bus lines towards Amstelveen station and the A9 is nearby, but there is no own metro stop.
The neighbourhood consists of several districts each with their own character. In Bovenkerk you will find the old village heart around the Bovenkerkweg, with small shops and eateries. The Buitenplaatsenbuurt and Landschappenbuurt are typical 1970s and 1980s neighbourhoods with spacious single-family homes and plenty of greenery in between. In Legmeer, there is significant construction and transformation planned in the coming years, which can bring both opportunities and construction nuisance. For daily groceries, you don't need to leave the neighbourhood: there are supermarkets and a shopping strip, and the larger Stadshart is within cycling distance.

Nothing
Auto-translated to English by AIThe waste dumping is getting worse, with small rubbish also lying everywhere on the street and in the woods. I also live near a large car park where all sorts of things are dumped as if a market has taken place. Also at the containers on our doorstep, every day large waste as if people can't read. Especially around the flats it's a disaster.
