Geerdinkhof/Kantershof: the quiet side of the Bijlmer, with greenery around the corner
Living in Geerdinkhof/Kantershof feels different from living in the rest of Amsterdam. The neighbourhood has its own pace. Resident Juliette describes it on the neighbourhood page of Geerdinkhof/Kantershof as "a neighbourhood with quiet people, surrounded by beautiful nature of the Bijlmerweide and the Diemerbos". She gives the neighbourhood a 7.5 out of 10, and you recognise that feeling when you walk through it. The high-rise buildings are not packed together, there is plenty of space between the buildings and greenery is everywhere. On Buurtje.nl, the neighbourhood scores a 9 on both community and green space, and an 8 on accessibility. Less strong are beauty (6) and education (6), which is honestly also visible in the public space in some places.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is fairly self-sufficient. Geerdinkhof Shopping Centre offers daily groceries, including a supermarket and small shops. For a larger range, Amsterdam Zuidoost shopping centre (ArenAPoort) is within easy reach. There are primary schools in the area, although the educational offering is limited compared to other parts of the city. There is more to do for sports: the proximity of the Diemerbos and the Bijlmerweide makes running, cycling and walking easily accessible. Neighbouring district G-buurt-Oost borders this green area directly and is popular with residents seeking peace and quiet. Kantershof and Grunder/Koningshoef also fall within this larger district area and each has its own character.
Accessibility is one of the strong points. Gein metro station (line 53) and Holendrecht station (line 50) are within walking distance and take you to Amsterdam Central in about twenty minutes. Via the A9 and A2 you are quickly on the motorway, which also makes the neighbourhood interesting for commuters. The metro runs frequently, also in the evenings. Those used to the hustle and bustle of the Jordaan or the Haarlemmerbuurt will find a very different kind of Amsterdam living here, quieter and greener, but also further from the city centre.
