Geerdinkhof/Kantershof: the quietest corner of the Bijlmer

When you think of the Bijlmer, you probably don't immediately think of Geerdinkhof/Kantershof. Yet this neighbourhood is located right there, in the southeastern tip of Amsterdam. The difference from the busier parts of Zuidoost is immediately noticeable. Resident Juliette describes it aptly on the neighbourhood page of Geerdinkhof/Kantershof: "It's a neighbourhood with quiet people, surrounded by beautiful nature of the Bijlmerweide and the Diemerbos. This makes the G-buurt truly a very quiet, calm place in Amsterdam." Residents give the neighbourhood a 7.5 on Buurtje.nl, with notably high scores for green space (9.0) and sense of community (9.0). That combination is rare in Amsterdam.

The neighbourhood roughly consists of three areas, each with its own character. In G-buurt-Oost you will find most of the flats and apartments, while Kantershof is known for its low-rise homes with gardens, built in the 1980s as a deliberate alternative to the Bijlmer high-rises. Grunder/Koningshoef falls somewhere in between in terms of atmosphere. Accessibility scores an 8.0: Gein metro station is within walking distance and takes you to Amsterdam Central in about 25 minutes. By car, you can quickly reach the ring road via the A9.

As for amenities: there are primary schools, a GP and small shops in the neighbourhood, but for larger groceries or a night out you go to Amsterdamse Poort shopping centre or the centre of Zuidoost. The scores for cleanliness (6.0) and education (6.0) show that there are also areas for improvement. Some public spaces look a bit dated, and the range of secondary schools in the immediate vicinity is limited. But if you are looking for peace, nature and a strong sense of neighbourhood, you will find something here that hardly exists elsewhere in Amsterdam.
