Living in F-buurt, Amsterdam
F-buurt is part of Amsterdam-Zuidoost and lies between the Bijlmerdreef, the Karspeldreef and the railway line. It is a neighbourhood that has changed significantly over the past decades. After the major urban renewal, many of the original honeycomb flats were demolished and replaced by new-build: a mix of low-rise, single-family homes and modern apartment complexes. However, some 1970s and 1980s porch-access flats still remain. As a result, the neighbourhood has a varied streetscape, with both social housing and free-market apartments. It is a multicultural neighbourhood with a young population: the largest age group is 25 to 45 years (1,645 residents), and there are relatively many single-person households (1,290 of the households). Only 19% of residents are married, which fits the character of a neighbourhood with many starters and singles.

For healthcare, there is Amsterdam UMC, location AMC, within cycling distance. For sports, there are facilities at Sportpark Bijlmer and the nearby Nelson Mandelabad.

I 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 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..
