How residents experience their district
Lovely to live in. Everything perfectly accessible. At weekends, lots of tourists, which sometimes makes it a bit difficult to get around.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful lively neighbourhood, with good amenities. Lovely neighbours.
Auto-translated to English by AII am generally very happy with my neighbourhood, all amenities are nearby, I have been living here very comfortably for years. The downside is that there is often a lot of rubbish on the streets.
Auto-translated to English by AILet's start with the most unpleasant aspect: in the evenings, it is unbearably noisy here. When you open the window in the living room during the summer evenings to let in some cool air, it is almost impossible to hear your interlocutor due to the street noise. Even in the bedroom, which overlooks the courtyard, you can hear the sounds of the street, including the crazy cries of tourists that can be heard until 5 a.m. In old buildings, it is forbidden to install new windows, and the old windows let in noise. Additionally, it often gets very, very dirty here, with mountains of garbage, especially in the mornings before the garbage truck has had time to pass. Apart from that, I really love this area. It's so beautiful here, and two of my favorite coffee shops in town are the Priesthood and the Old Church cafe. The proximity to the central station is very convenient, making it easy to travel. The most beautiful views of the city are always just around the corner.

How residents experience their municipality
IJburg is a new district still under development and it's getting better with all the amenities and a beach nearby. And you're also quickly out of the city and into the greenery.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, peaceful, relaxed, green, social and a nice mix of people
Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about 12 years. The neighbourhood has clear advantages: good connections by tram, bus and ferry/boat, plenty of supermarkets, gyms and practical amenities nearby. For me, however, there was one major drawback: structural low-frequency noise, demonstrably coming from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. If you are sensitive to that, it can be very burdensome. In my case, it was clearly noticeable indoors, especially at night. Neighbours said they slept with earplugs and extra insulation offered limited to no solution. The municipality took measurements at the time and acknowledged that the noise was significant, but indicated they could do little or nothing about it because the source fell outside their direct authority. My honest advice: visit this neighbourhood not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night, and pay specific attention to low-frequency humming or vibrations. For people sensitive to noise, I would personally strongly advise against this location.

Auto-translated to English by AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the end of the Silodam lies the striking MVRDV building. Surrounded by water on all sides. Every apartment has a view of the IJ and/or the Oude Houthaven. The views are therefore phenomenal and every day is different due to the weather. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable. Because the building is at the end of the Silodam, there is no through traffic and every person is either a resident or a visitor. This makes it, by Amsterdam standards, an exceptionally safe living environment. There is little turnover. The residents of this building form a close-knit community. A nice mix of families with and without children and single people who help each other where needed. And that too is a special quality in an increasingly transient Amsterdam. Within walking distance are the Haarlemmerdijk and the markets where you can find all the hustle and bustle if you feel like it. On the Silodam there is peace and quiet, a delight for body and mind. The wind, the seagulls, the waves on the IJ, the boats, occasionally a cruise ship, and every 5 years Sail! A little paradise in Amsterdam? Absolutely!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the city but still close to many good amenities that a city has to offer. The neighbourhood is still becoming more beautiful.
