Living in Centrumeiland, Amsterdam
Centrumeiland is one of the newest islands of IJburg and feels different from the rest of the city. The neighbourhood has only been built up in recent years and therefore has a striking character: wide quays, lots of water around you, contemporary architecture and a mix of ground-level homes and apartment buildings that are directly on the IJ or the inner harbours. It is not a neighbourhood you cycle through by chance. You go there, or you live there.
The atmosphere is quiet and at the same time lively in a new way. Because the neighbourhood is relatively young, most residents have consciously moved here. You notice that. Resident Shavelli describes it simply as "gezellig" and adds that everyone is friendly and children can play outside without any danger. That picture matches the figures: the largest age group is 25 to 45 years old and families with children form the largest household group. The neighbourhood scores a 10 on safety and beauty, and those are not empty points. The public space is well maintained, the street furniture is new and there is plenty of space for children to play.
In terms of amenities, Centrumeiland is still very much in development, but the basics are there. On neighbouring IJburg you will find supermarkets such as an Albert Heijn, a primary school, a sports hall and catering establishments along the Diemerzeedijk area. The district office and further shopping facilities are accessible via the bridge towards IJburg-West. For more extensive shops or the centre of Amsterdam, allow about twenty to twenty-five minutes travel time. Tram 26 connects IJburg directly to Amsterdam Central Station, and the stops are within cycling distance of Centrumeiland. By car, the A10 is easily accessible via the Piet Heintunnel.
Compared to neighbourhoods such as Pampusbuurt-West and Pampusbuurt-Oost, Centrumeiland has a more urban and architecturally distinctive character, with more variation in housing types and a more direct location on open water. Buiteneiland borders it and has a similar atmosphere, but is even quieter. Anyone who wants to know more about the character of the neighbourhood can find all resident reviews and district data together on the neighbourhood page of Centrumeiland.
Who is a home for sale in Centrumeiland interesting for?
Centrumeiland mainly attracts young families and dual-income couples who consciously choose new-build, space and water, but do not want to leave Amsterdam. The average purchase price of almost €734,000 makes this not a starter neighbourhood, although at the lower end of the market homes have been sold from €385,000. Anyone considering buying an apartment in Centrumeiland would do well to act quickly: supply is limited and demand is stable. Overbidding is not an exception. If you need more time or buying is not financially feasible now, take a look at the rental homes in Centrumeiland as an intermediate step. Seniors or people who want to live quietly and car-free will find less connection here.
