Living in Ruimzicht Oost, Diemen

The neighbourhood consists largely of multi-family homes and porch flats built in the 1960s and 1970s, interspersed with some terraced single-family homes. The streetscape is green and orderly: wide pavements, plenty of greenery between the housing blocks, and a relaxed atmosphere that clearly differs from the hustle and bustle just across the municipal border in Amsterdam-Oost.

For a larger range of shops, Amsterdam's Amstel Kwartier or the Wibautstraat are quickly accessible. Children in the neighbourhood attend primary schools located in and around Diemen centre. Sports clubs and the Diemerbos recreation area, just outside the built-up area, make the neighbourhood attractive for families who appreciate space.
