Living in F-buurt, Amsterdam
The F-buurt is located in Zuidoost, wedged between the Bijlmermeer and the Amstel, and has a very distinct atmosphere that you won't easily forget once you take a look. It is a neighbourhood that is often underestimated. The buildings largely consist of characteristic Bijlmer architecture: large residential blocks from the 1960s and 1970s, with inner courtyards, galleries, and relatively spacious apartments by Amsterdam standards. Some blocks have been thoroughly renovated in recent decades, while others still clearly bear the marks of their original design.
What sets the neighbourhood apart is the mix of people. With over 4,350 residents and a dominant age group of 25 to 45, it is a young, active neighbourhood. Single-person households are the most common (1,290), but you also see families with children. The neighbourhood has a distinctly urban, multicultural character that aligns with the broader identity of Zuidoost.
For daily errands, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. The Amsterdamse Poort shopping centre, one of the largest in the city, is within cycling distance. There you will find supermarkets, a market, shops, and eateries. Healthcare facilities such as GPs and dentists are also well represented in the immediate vicinity, as resident Emely aptly describes: "all primary facilities such as supermarkets, dentists, or hospitals are right in the neighbourhood and easily accessible."
Accessibility is one of the F-buurt's strongest assets. Metro station Ganzenhoef or Kraaiennest is within walking distance, depending on exactly where you live. Via the metro, you can reach Amsterdam Central in about twenty minutes. The A2 and A9 are quickly accessible for those travelling by car. The residents' score for accessibility is 7.5 out of 10, confirming this picture.
Green space is somewhat less present than in other Amsterdam neighbourhoods: the score for that is 6.5. Nevertheless, Gaasperpark is within cycling distance, and Nelson Mandelapark offers some space for recreation. For those seeking more greenery in the immediate vicinity, it is worth considering. The score for cleanliness (5.0) is the lowest sub-score, which is honestly also visible: not all public spaces are equally well maintained.
Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods such as D-buurt or Amsterdamse Poort, the F-buurt has a similar price level but a slightly different housing mix. Nelson Mandelapark and Vogeltjeswei are also nearby neighbourhoods worth comparing. More about the character of the neighbourhood, including all resident experiences, can be found on the information page for the F-buurt.

I think my neighbourhood is good in terms of my experience because all primary facilities like supermarkets, dentists or hospitals are just in the neighbourhood and easily accessible. Based on the people, I find it mediocre because some can be quite antisocial, for example they throw their rubbish everywhere, but there are still good ones among them. Lastly, waste management is fine, apart from the fact that rubbish is regularly thrown on the street, it is cleaned up by garbage men, but it would be good if street sweepers came more often because otherwise it keeps piling up.
Auto-translated to English by AISafety could be a bit better, lots of junkies and men displaying dangerous behaviour, especially at the gate and towards the arena.. very unfortunate as a woman or young child who just wants to play or get something to eat. Many homeless people use the public water fountains, which is not a problem at all, but given the fact that they probably don't shower or wash their hands, it's not exactly hygienic to make direct contact with the tap with your face or hands..
