Living in Buiksloterham-Zuid, Amsterdam

Buiksloterham-Zuid is one of the newest residential areas of Amsterdam, located on the northern IJ bank. Anyone looking for a home here chooses a neighbourhood that is still very much in development. The homes are predominantly recently built, energy-efficient and modern in design. Think compact townhouses and apartments with large windows, sustainable materials and low gas connection: the average gas consumption of only 50 m³ per year speaks volumes. The Hetty Blokstraat is one of the better-known residential streets in the neighbourhood, with a mix of young families and working couples.

The atmosphere is urban but not busy. Many people between 25 and 45 live here, the majority highly educated, and the neighbourhood has a remarkably strong sense of community. Residents give the neighbourhood an overall score of 7.9 out of 10, with community scoring the highest sub-score: 9.5. That is not nothing. John de Weij, who has lived on Hetty Blokstraat for two years, describes it as follows: "I think it's a super nice neighbourhood with nice people and beautiful energy-efficient houses."

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is still under construction. There are no large supermarkets or shopping centres right around the corner, but the Mosplein area and the centre of Amsterdam-Noord are easily accessible by bike. For daily groceries, you go to the Boven 't IJ neighbourhood or the shops along Buikslotermeerplein. There are primary schools in the immediate vicinity, which explains the presence of young families. Residents give education an 8.0. Green space is the weakest link with a score of 6.5: the neighbourhood is compact and urban, there are no large parks directly, although the IJ bank area is within walking distance.

Accessibility by public transport is a point of attention. Residents give this a 7.5, and John de Weij honestly notes that the public transport connections are not yet top-notch for a new neighbourhood. Buses run towards Amsterdam Central, but a direct metro connection is currently lacking. By bike, you are in the city centre in twenty minutes, via the ferry across the IJ. By car, the A10 is relatively quickly accessible via the Klaprozenweg. It is expected that public transport access will improve in the coming years as the neighbourhood is further developed.
