What does a home cost on the Oostelijke Eilanden and Kadijken?
The owner-occupied market in Oostelijke Eilanden/Kadijken is tight: only 29% of the more than 7,600 homes are owner-occupied, the rest are rental (of which 56% is housing association stock). That limited supply drives up prices. The average purchase price over the past twelve months was €593,739, with a range from €275,000 to €1,540,000. That is higher than the average WOZ value of €525,000 in the neighbourhood, which in turn is close to the Amsterdam average of €517,000. The vast majority of supply consists of apartments, often in characteristic blocks from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Detached houses are hardly found here.

Living between water and history: the character of Oostelijke Eilanden/Kadijken
The Oostelijke Eilanden, Kattenburg, Wittenburg and Oostenburg, have been connected to shipping for centuries. You can still feel that history: warehouses converted into lofts, bridges over wide canals and the Scheepvaartmuseum on the Marine-Etablissement as a neighbourhood icon. At the same time, it is not an open-air museum. The Czaar Peterbuurt has undergone a metamorphosis in recent years with new construction and hospitality along the Czaar Peterstraat, while Kadijken around the Nieuwmarkt is much busier and more touristy. On Oostenburg, a completely new residential area is rising on the former Stork site.
Residents on the neighbourhood page of Oostelijke Eilanden/Kadijken give the area a 6.6 out of 10. Education scores notably high (8.5) and accessibility (7.7), while amenities lag significantly at 4.0. Resident Maryam writes: "The neighbourhood here is nice and child-friendly, there are two large playgrounds and enough shops." Adriana is more critical: she misses better enforcement of dog policies and finds the cleaning of public spaces substandard. The score for cleanliness (6.3) confirms that picture. Juana, on the other hand, emphasises the cosiness: neighbours who greet you, tourists asking for directions and open spots by the water to have coffee.
In terms of accessibility, you are well placed. Tram stop Kadijksplein (line 7) and bus stop Kattenburgerstraat are in the neighbourhood. Metro station Nieuwmarkt is within walking distance and takes you to Amsterdam Centraal in ten minutes. By bike, you are in the centre or on the NEMO roof in five minutes. Daily groceries can be done at the Albert Heijn on the Czaar Peterstraat or the Deen on Kattenburg. For larger supermarkets or shops, you go to the Oosterdokseiland or the city centre. Primary schools such as De Kaap and De Witte Olifant are in the neighbourhood, which explains the high education score. Green spaces can be found in the Wertheimpark and along the Entrepotdoksluis, although it is not abundant. The municipality of Amsterdam is investing in more green and play space on the islands.

I have nice neighbours and the neighbourhood is nice. The municipality falls short on cleaning, here and in the rest of Amsterdam. The dog policy is not respected at all here and also not enforced!!! My only unpleasant experience here in the neighbourhood was not really properly resolved by the police.... I don't miss the quay and find it a pity that the municipality makes the houseboat policy so ridiculously complicated.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice pleasant rural greetings and you too enjoy their flowers many open spaces where you can drink coffee eat and super nice neighbourhood surroundings with water as a tourist attraction and transport. The neighbours greet the same tourists chat and ask about streets neighbourhood museums. With maritime museum also weekend visitors from other neighbourhoods tell about when they were here friends with people who are already gone. Not easy to park sometimes very busy on the road and with a shop downstairs parking spaces are if you pay. Otherwise very busy when police drive you hear the beautiful church bells children with their school teachers walking. It is picturesque sometimes you find painters with their materials. I moved a few months ago I live better because I have more air and space. Many birds nothing for nothing this neighbourhood is called the Amazon of Europe.
