Living in Elzenhagen-Noord, Amsterdam
Elzenhagen-Noord is a relatively young, planned neighbourhood in the northwest of Amsterdam, part of the new-build development that Amsterdam-Noord has undergone in recent decades. The housing stock largely consists of modern apartments and ground-level homes from the 2000s onwards, with a sleek urban design. The streets are wide, there is plenty of greenery along the roads, and parking spaces are generously laid out. This gives the neighbourhood a quiet, almost suburban character that differs greatly from the densely built Amsterdam city centre.
The neighbourhood has around 3,600 residents, the largest group being between 25 and 45 years old. Single-person households are most common, but young families have also found their place here: there are relatively many children (0-15 years). The education level is high: 53% of residents are highly educated. This also colours the street scene: you see many dual-income couples, family cars, and a quiet, tidy appearance.
Facilities in Elzenhagen-Noord
The neighbourhood has a limited range of its own facilities, which is also reflected in the resident score for facilities (5.5 out of 10). For daily groceries, residents rely on nearby shopping centres in the wider Amsterdam-Noord area, such as the shopping centre in Banne or the offerings along the Purmerweg. For a more extensive range of shops and dining, a trip to the city centre or to Buikslotermeerplein is needed.
In terms of education, the neighbourhood scores remarkably well: residents give education a 9.0. Primary schools are accessible in the immediate vicinity of the district. For sports, the greenery in and around the neighbourhood offers space for runners and cyclists, although there is no large park directly nearby. Resident IM writes: "Trees and plants along the road provide a great spot for a short walk." This matches the score for greenery (6.0): adequate, but not exceptional.
Accessibility of Elzenhagen-Noord
Accessibility is one of the neighbourhood's strongest points and receives a perfect score of 10.0 from residents. The location near the A10 and the connection to the A8 makes the neighbourhood attractive for people who regularly travel by car to other cities. IM explicitly mentions this: "The neighbourhood is easily accessible from the motorway if you come from northern cities, for example."
By public transport, Amsterdam Central is easily reachable via bus connections towards Noord, and Noord station (metro line 52, the North/South line) is within cycling distance. From Noord station, you can be at Amsterdam Central in about ten minutes. Parking in the neighbourhood is relatively comfortable compared to the rest of Amsterdam: the streets are spacious and there is usually sufficient parking, although this varies by street.
Not everyone experiences the neighbourhood as equally pleasant to live in. Resident Lars says he feels like an outsider: "People are not open to a chat and I am often looked at as if I don't belong." The score for community is therefore low: 4.5 out of 10. If you value social connectedness and neighbourhood contact, you may experience this as a serious drawback. Read more experiences on the neighbourhood page of Elzenhagen-Noord, where all resident scores per category are also listed.
Compared to neighbouring community Elzenhagen-Zuid, Elzenhagen-Noord has a similar modern character, but the WOZ value is higher here. The Nintemanterrein is also a nearby neighbourhood worth considering if you want to rent in this corner of Amsterdam.

I just feel like an outsider in the neighbourhood, everyone drives around in big fancy cars and we don't even have a car. People aren't open to a chat and I'm regularly looked at as if I'm not right in the head. Sometimes neighbourhood events are organised but I never want to come because I find the people bloody annoying.
