After living here for 12 years, the neighbourhood is going downhill, especially the street next door where there are many rental homes, many people live who don't treat fellow residents very well. Lots of litter lying around, messy gardens and loud talking, shouting and antisocial fatbike drivers who honk unnecessarily. Also leaving rubbish behind and hoping it will eventually be collected by waste collection services. There are schools but not enough types of education.

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.
