Living in Diemen Noord: green and quiet, but with the city within easy reach
Diemen Noord has a different character than you might expect from a municipality bordering Amsterdam. The neighbourhood feels predominantly quiet and green, with wide streets, water nearby and relatively many families. Nearly 1,115 households have children, and the largest age group is 45 to 65 years old. You notice that in the atmosphere: it is not a student neighbourhood, not a trendy city neighbourhood, but a place where people consciously choose a bit more space and peace, without letting go of the city. On the neighbourhood page of Diemen Noord you will find resident reviews and scores per category. Residents particularly appreciate the accessibility and relative tranquillity, but also point out the limited shopping options within the neighbourhood itself and the congestion on the main roads during rush hours.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is functional but not lavish. Primary schools are present in the neighbourhood, and for secondary education children depend on schools in Diemen or Amsterdam. Supermarkets are within reach, although the range is more compact than in a large city. The Diemerplein shopping centre in Diemen Centrum is within cycling distance and offers more choice. Green space is well represented: the Diemerpolder, after which the neighbourhood Diemerpolder is also named, offers space for walking and cycling. Sports clubs and playgrounds are present, making the neighbourhood attractive for young families.
Accessibility is one of the strongest assets of Diemen Noord. Diemen-Zuid station and Diemen station are a short distance away and offer direct connections to Amsterdam Centraal (approximately 10 minutes) and Schiphol. Several bus lines connect the neighbourhood with the centre of Diemen and with Amsterdam-Zuidoost. By car, the A1 and A9 are quickly accessible, although this causes considerable traffic jams during rush hour. Those who work in Amsterdam but prefer to live outside the ring will find a realistic alternative in Diemen Noord. Neighbourhoods such as Vogelweide and Buytenstee show how varied the supply within the neighbourhood can be. More information about the municipality can also be found on the official website of the municipality of Diemen.
Who is a home for sale in Diemen Noord suitable for?
Diemen Noord mainly appeals to movers and families who want more space than Amsterdam offers, but do not want to completely let go of the city. With an average purchase price of almost €648,000, this is not a market for starters with a limited budget. Overbidding is common, and supply is limited: only 26 homes changed hands in the past year. In addition to the purchase price, take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-starters) and notary fees. Those not yet ready for a home purchase can also look at rental homes in Diemen Noord as an intermediate step.
