Living in Akkerland, Diemen
Akkerland is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the southern part of Diemen, part of the Diemen Zuid district. The neighbourhood has a clear family character: the largest age group consists of people between 45 and 65, but families with children are also well represented. The homes are predominantly ground-based, with terraced houses and semi-detached houses mostly dating from the 1970s and 1980s. This is reflected in the architecture: quiet streets, front gardens, spacious plots and little high-rise. The name Akkerland refers to the original polder landscape on which the neighbourhood was built, and that character is still palpable in the wide, orderly street layout.
In terms of amenities, Akkerland is well provided for. Within walking distance you will find shops for daily groceries, and the Diemerplein shopping centre in Diemen Centrum is easily reachable by bike. You hardly need to leave the neighbourhood for schools: there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity, and residents rate the education at 7.5. Green space is a strong point of Akkerland: the neighbourhood has parks and green areas nearby, and residents give green space a score of 9.0 out of 10. This is noticeable in the atmosphere of the neighbourhood, which feels quieter and greener than the more urban parts of Diemen.
Accessibility is excellent, and residents are clearly happy about it: accessibility gets a perfect score of 10.0. Diemen-Zuid metro station is a short distance away and offers a quick connection to Amsterdam Centraal via line 54 in about ten minutes.

One resident writes: "Diemen, like many other municipalities, is facing a growing demand for affordable housing. Promoting the construction of social housing could be a solution." That signal about housing (score: 5.0) and community (also 5.0) is honest: Akkerland is not a neighbourhood where you spontaneously get to know your neighbours on the street, and the housing supply is limited.
