Living in Reigersbos 3, Amsterdam

Reigersbos 3 is located in Amsterdam Zuidoost, in the eponymous district Reigersbos, which was built in the 1970s and 1980s as part of the Bijlmermeer. When you drive through here for the first time, you see wide green strips, flats of varying heights and relatively much space between the buildings. That is no coincidence: the district was designed with a clear idea about greenery, air and social mixing. Reigersbos 3 still carries that character, although the neighbourhood has changed considerably over the past decades.

The atmosphere is quiet by Amsterdam standards. There is no bustling city centre within walking distance, but that is not what residents here choose for. The neighbourhood has its own rhythm: families, elderly people and working people live side by side in an environment that feels green and orderly. The buildings mainly consist of porch flats and gallery flats from the 1970s, supplemented by newer blocks that were built after the large-scale demolition operations in the Bijlmer from the 1990s onwards. Anyone looking for a home in a historic canal house is in the wrong place here. Those looking for space, greenery and relatively low prices can find what they are looking for here.

There are primary schools in the immediate vicinity, and Anton de Komplein is a nearby park that residents use for recreation and sport. That greenery is also reflected in the resident score: greenery scores a 9.0.
