Living in De Bongerd, Amsterdam

De Bongerd is a relatively young neighbourhood in Amsterdam-Noord, built in the 1990s and early 2000s on former agricultural land east of Tuindorp Oostzaan. Anyone cycling through here for the first time immediately sees that this is no ordinary Amsterdam neighbourhood: wide streets, spacious terraced houses and semi-detached homes, green strips between the residential blocks and a remarkably quiet atmosphere for a city like Amsterdam. No trams run through the neighbourhood and there is no bustling shopping area around the corner. That is precisely what many residents are looking for here.

The housing types are predominantly ground-based: terraced houses, corner houses and some semi-detached homes, supplemented by a smaller share of apartments. Most homes have a garden, sometimes also a garage or driveway, which is rare in Amsterdam. This partly explains the higher WOZ value compared to the rest of the district.

For daily groceries, you can go to the supermarkets along the Nieuwe Purmerweg or at the nearby Boven 't IJ shopping centre, a bike ride away towards Nieuwendam. Children in the neighbourhood attend primary schools such as De Bongerd or other schools in the immediate vicinity of Tuindorp Oostzaan. Sports clubs, playgrounds and green strips are well represented in and around the neighbourhood, which fits the profile of the neighbourhood: 605 households with children, the largest household group.

Accessibility is a point that residents regularly mention, both positively and critically. The neighbourhood is located on the north side of Amsterdam, meaning you are dependent on the ferry, the North/South line via Noord metro station or bus line 35 towards Central Station for the city centre. By bike to the centre takes about 25 to 35 minutes, depending on where you want to go. By car, you are quickly on the A10 or towards the A8. For people who commute daily to an office in the city, that requires some getting used to, but once you are in the rhythm, it is experienced as acceptable.

On the neighbourhood homepage of De Bongerd you can read what residents themselves say about living here, including scores per category such as safety, green spaces and facilities. One resident writes: "It is quiet here, the neighbours know each other and the children play outside. I sometimes miss the liveliness of the city, but that is precisely why we came to live here." That sums up the atmosphere well.

If you compare De Bongerd with sister neighbourhoods, Tuindorp Oostzaan-West has an older and more compact character, while Tuindorp Oostzaan-Oost is somewhat similar in layout to De Bongerd but on average cheaper. Terrasdorp is smaller and quieter, with fewer facilities within walking distance.
