Living in Tuindorp Oostzaan: a village in the city
Tuindorp Oostzaan is one of those places in Amsterdam-Noord where you notice that neighbours still greet each other. On the neighbourhood page of Tuindorp Oostzaan, residents rate the area a 6.9 out of 10. Safety (8.0) and green spaces (7.7) score notably high. Resident Jordi describes it aptly: "Almost a small village within Amsterdam, where many people know each other and get together." Aharon ben David has lived there since 1992 and is still satisfied with his neighbours and surroundings. At the same time, not everyone is equally enthusiastic: resident Max calls the neighbourhood "quiet, a bit ugly" and gives it a 5.0. That honesty fits the picture: the architecture is functional, not ornate, but the spacious layout with gardens and green strips compensates a lot.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood has plenty. Along the Meteorenweg and Kometensingel you will find an Albert Heijn, a Dirk van den Broek and various small shops. There are several primary schools in the area, including OBS De Klimop and the Jozefschool, although education scores the lowest in resident ratings at 5.3. For secondary schools, children must go elsewhere in Noord or the city centre. In the nearby Florapark and Vliegenbos you can walk and play well, and sports club AVV Zeeburgia and tennis club Kadoelen are within cycling distance. In the adjacent neighbourhood De Bongerd, it is newer and more spacious, while the western part of Tuindorp Oostzaan lies closer to the Noordhollandsch Kanaal.
Accessibility is a point of attention. Residents give it a 6.3. There is no metro station in the neighbourhood itself; the nearest stop is Noord (line 52), about a ten-minute bike ride away. Bus lines 35 and 36 connect the neighbourhood with Amsterdam Centraal, but during rush hour this can easily take 25 to 35 minutes. By car, via the S116 and the A10 ring road, you are reasonably quickly on the motorway towards Zaanstad or Schiphol. The NDSM wharf, the creative heart of Noord, is a few minutes' bike ride away and offers cultural entertainment plus the ferry to the city centre. For comparison: owner-occupied homes in popular neighbourhoods such as the Jordaan or the Grachtengordel-West are in a completely different price category. Tuindorp Oostzaan offers more square metres for your money, albeit with a less central character.
Is Tuindorp Oostzaan right for you as a buyer?
Buying a home in Tuindorp Oostzaan is especially interesting for families and movers who are looking for space without leaving Amsterdam. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years, and with 2,250 children under 15, it is clearly a family neighbourhood. First-time buyers with a modal income (the neighbourhood average is €33,700) will find it difficult: even the lower end of the market starts around €325,000 and overbidding is common. Allow for additional costs such as transfer tax (2%), notary and valuation costs. If you are looking to buy an apartment in Tuindorp Oostzaan, the supply is more limited than in, for example, Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde. If you cannot make it work financially, then check the options for rental properties in Tuindorp Oostzaan as an alternative.
