Living in Sloten/Nieuw-Sloten: green, quiet, yet close to everything
Sloten/Nieuw-Sloten is a neighbourhood you do not immediately associate with Amsterdam, and that is exactly what residents appreciate about it. On the neighbourhood page of Sloten/Nieuw-Sloten, residents give the area a 9.0 out of 10. Resident Monique sums it up succinctly: "Living in greenery with the city centre nearby." She describes how gardens open onto the water, giving a real nature feel in the middle of the city. Neighbours look out for each other but respect each other's privacy. That balance between community spirit and tranquillity is typical of this neighbourhood.
The amenities are practical and complete. Around Belgiëplein you will find an Albert Heijn, speciality shops and eateries. For primary education, there are several schools in the neighbourhood, including the Pieter Jelles Troelstraschool and De Windroos primary school. Sports club SV Sloten offers football for young and old, and the nearby Sloterpark is large enough to get truly lost in. In the historic Dorp Sloten on the Sloterweg, you will even find Amsterdam's last windmill, the Molen van Sloten, which enhances the village atmosphere.
In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores highly. Henk Sneevlietweg metro station (line 50) and tram stops on the Slotermeerlaan take you to Leidseplein in twenty minutes. By car, you can quickly reach the A4 and A10 motorways towards Schiphol (ten minutes) or The Hague. Monique also mentions the new parking policy as a plus: no more nuisance from commuters parking their cars in the neighbourhood to go into the city. The Nieuw-Sloten-Noordwest area is closest to the metro, while Nieuw-Sloten-Zuidoost and the Sloterweg and surroundings have the most rural character. This variety means you can find very different living atmospheres within the same neighbourhood.
