Living in Venserpolder: a social neighbourhood with its own rhythm
Venserpolder is located in Amsterdam-Zuidoost, wedged between the Gaasperplas and the Bijlmer. The neighbourhood has a distinct character: many porch-access flats, wide green strips, and a population that for a large part has lived in the area for years. It is not a neighbourhood that appeals to everyone, but those who live there often appreciate the down-to-earth atmosphere and mutual involvement. On Buurtje.nl, the neighbourhood scores an average of 5.7 out of 10, based on resident reviews. Accessibility scores highest at 6.3, safety gets a 6.0, and beauty and amenities score the lowest at 5.0 and 5.0 respectively. Resident Jennifer writes enthusiastically about the community centre Boeninhuis, the food bank, and the mutual help in the neighbourhood: "Everyone helps everyone." Another resident calls the neighbourhood green and nice, but adds that it could be better. A third review is outright negative about liveability. You can find that honest mix of experiences on the neighbourhood page of Venserpolder, including all sub-scores and full reviews.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is functional but modest. At Venserpolder metro station there is an Albert Heijn to go, and within walking distance you will find shops for daily groceries. For a larger shopping offer, you will need to go to the nearby Amsterdamse Poort shopping centre in the Bijlmer. The neighbourhood has primary schools, playgrounds, and green strips that give the area some breathing space. Sports clubs and community centres like Boeninhuis fulfil a social function that is lacking in many other Amsterdam neighbourhoods. If you are looking for more urban allure, you might consider neighbourhoods like the Haarlemmerbuurt or the Jordaan, but prices there are correspondingly higher.
Accessibility is one of the neighbourhood's stronger points. Venserpolder metro station on line 53 takes you to Amsterdam Central in about twenty minutes. Via the A9 and A2, the neighbourhood is easily accessible by car. The neighbourhood is divided into two parts: Venserpolder-Oost and Venserpolder-West, each with a slightly different character in terms of building style and atmosphere. Living in Venserpolder means choosing affordability and space, in exchange for a bit less urban flair.

I have quite a lot of experience with the neighbourhood; it's a very nice neighbourhood and there is a community centre called Boeninhuis and it's so nice there, the teacher helps a lot, there is a food bank, there are shops, and there is an AH to go at the station. It's a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in; everyone helps everyone when needed. There are many schools: BHC, TASC, Orion College, and another school next to Orion College, and Klaverblad, De Schakel, De Dreef. There is a school for almost everyone except havo/vwo students, but it's like a top neighbourhood. You can also do quite a lot here; it's quite safe here and you can get from Venserpolder to many places because there are metro stations, bus stations, train stations, buses that go abroad. The streets are sometimes clean, it depends on which block, but my block is clean, although here and there I still see litter. And the houses vary too: you have townhouses, you have flats, you have family homes, you have new homes, sometimes you have really big houses but also small ones like studios. It's a very nice neighbourhood, Venserpolder.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe racist, mentally broken, lowest class dirts come together in this neighbourhood. This is the hell in the Netherlands. The lowest, the ugliest ever seen. I've been all over the country. Really, either the government wants to keep this place like this to isolate the sick people from the rest of society, that's their plan, or I can't imagine they are not aware how critical the situation is in Venserpolder. They must put the cameras back on the streets and police must walk around a couple of times every day. There should be some places open where you can get back to the Amsterdam spirit. Cafes or cultural places for other than Surinamese culture. They are here being perfectly isolated and raise their kids racist against anything white and the government has no idea about it or they have some other sick plans. Because this neighbourhood needs a deep cleaning and social rebuilding!
