Facilities in Krijgsman
Krijgsman is a relatively young neighbourhood and the facilities are growing along with the district. A primary school has been built in the neighbourhood as part of the new-build development. For daily groceries, residents rely on the nearby centre of Muiden, where there is a supermarket, or on the larger shopping centres in Weesp or in the Amsterdam districts on the other side of the Amstel. The neighbourhood borders the IJmeer and the Vecht, providing attractive walking and cycling routes along the water. Sporty residents will find various opportunities in and around Muiden, including water sports on the IJmeer. Dining options in the neighbourhood itself are limited; for a wider range of restaurants and cafés, the old centre of Muiden, with its historic fortress, is within cycling distance.
