This listing on Pieter Borstraat in Amsterdam is a rental home, but the details are thin on the ground.

The Emanuel van Meterenbuurt
[The Emanuel van Meterenbuurt neighbourhood]( /buurt/emanuel-van-meterenbuurt-amsterdam/) is part of Slotervaart-Noord, and the two residents who have reviewed it are not complimentary. One resident says: "A very messy neighbourhood. I live near the Lelylaan. There is a small shopping area. Public transport is good: trams, buses, metro, train, excellent. It is messy, dirty, the paving stones are pushed up by the tree roots. It is run-down, there is greenery but according to the tree expert the trees are diseased. Sloterplas is within walking distance. There are a few schools in the neighbourhood. There are a few amenities." Another says: "Not a nice neighbourhood. I moved here in 2022 but I don't think it's a proper neighbourhood because of bulky waste disposal with rats, front gardens that are not well maintained, paving stones that are uneven and not neatly aligned; I fell earlier this year. No, not a nice neighbourhood. The neighbourhood is easily accessible by public transport, car and bike; the nearest shopping area is Sierplein." Based on two reviews, the picture is of a well-connected but unkempt area. The neighbourhood has 2,320 residents, with a mix of ages and household types.
