A cosy, safe neighbourhood in Amsterdam-Noord, ideal for families.

I experience the neighbourhood as a really fun, safe and familiar place with plenty to do. I grew up here and have lived here for 18 years, so it truly feels like home. The neighbourhood is easily accessible: within about twenty minutes you can be in the city centre by ferry, and by bike, metro and bus everything is easy to reach. In addition, the area is clean, quiet and well-maintained, with good schools and all daily amenities nearby. For me, it's an ideal place to live and to start a family. It's different from other neighbourhoods, and that's exactly what makes this place so special.
