Living in Banne Buiksloot: an honest picture of a neighbourhood in development
Banne Buiksloot is located in Amsterdam-Noord, wedged between the Noordhollandsch Kanaal and the A10 ring road. It is a neighbourhood you won't come across on Instagram, but for many residents it is simply home. On the neighbourhood page of Banne Buiksloot, residents rate the area a 6.0 out of 10. That is not a high score, and the ratings show why: beauty scores a meagre 4.5 and education a 5.0. Accessibility stands out positively with an 8.0.
Resident Meryem describes it as a "deprived neighbourhood" but immediately qualifies: there is "a lot of poverty and loitering youths, but also kind people who try to get a lot out of life." She mentions the greenery in the area and the horse riding school as plus points. Jasmijn agrees that the location is good: "You can cycle to the city centre in no time or take the bus to metro 52." Bus lines 36 and 37 take you to Noord metro station on the North-South line, from which you can reach Amsterdam Central in a quarter of an hour. By car, you are quickly on the ring road via the A10. In terms of amenities, shopping centre Boven 't Y on the Waddenweg is the central point, with an Albert Heijn, Kruidvat and various specialist shops. For daily groceries, there are also smaller supermarkets spread across the neighbourhood. Florapark and Vliegenbos are within cycling distance and offer space for walking. Sportpark De Banne has football fields and there is indeed a riding school in the area for horse lovers. Primary schools such as De Klimop and De Poolster serve the neighbourhood, although residents feel that the educational offering could be more diverse.
The neighbourhood consists of clearly different areas. In Banne-Noordwest and Banne-Zuidoost you will mainly find the typical Amsterdam porch flats, while Buiksloterbreek has somewhat newer buildings. The average income of €30,800 is far below the Amsterdam average of €44,276, making the neighbourhood socio-economically vulnerable. At the same time, this means that entry prices for buyers here are lower than in more popular parts of Amsterdam. If you want to buy a house in Banne Buiksloot, you must take into account the aforementioned points of concern regarding nuisance and maintenance of public spaces. The municipality of Amsterdam is investing through area programmes in Noord, but change is slow.

Lots of poverty and loitering youths but also kind people trying to make the most of life. Education should be more mixed, not too much of the same. Lots of green in the neighbourhood and a riding school, sports activities.
Auto-translated to English by AIGenerally fine to live in. It's well located, you can cycle to the city centre or take the bus to metro 52. There's a shopping centre nearby. There's enough green space in the area, but it could be more. Occasionally some issues with loitering youths or other shady characters. Lots of screaming/shouting children or parties at Koopvaardersplantsoen, which is often annoying. There's not really a community, at least I don't feel it, but that might be because I live in the only block of new-build houses and most people come from the flats. However, little is done to foster community either. Lots of rubbish on the street/next to the bins.
