Neighbourhood
The apartment is situated in the Oostpoort area, in the popular borough of Watergraafsmeer. The Watergraafsmeer is characterised by its spacious streets and green surroundings. The apartment is within walking distance of the Middenweg and the Linnaeusstraat, where you will find a host of lovely, small, independent shops, but also a supermarket. A number of acclaimed restaurants are within either walking or cycling distance, such as Jacobzs, De Kas and The Lobby, not to mention Blend and brewery Poesiat & Kater. These restaurants are well worth a visit.
Public transport is around the corner (tramline 9) and within cycling distance (10 minutes) you have the Amstelstation for both metro and train.
The apartment building is in a unique location behind the new shopping centre Oostpoort with its many trendy cafes and restaurants (including Blend en Poesiat & Kater), situated behind the Middenweg. The relative proximity of the city centre (tramline 9 stops just around the corner) and the proximity of the Amstel Station, offering excellent access by public transport, are strong factors in a modern working and living environment.
The ring road is only five minutes away via the Linneaeusstraat and the Middenweg.
The apartment has been recently completed.
History
The Watergraafsmeer was once a lake, a former inland sea of the Zuiderzee. The ring canal and dikes still remind us of the reclamation. Pleasure grounds, farms and dwellings were built.
After 1920 it became one of Amsterdam's boroughs. There are many inspiring elements such as water, dikes and historical monuments including Frankendael and De Vergulden Eenhoorn. There have also been many structural developments in the past century, right up to the Oostpoort project on the Valentijnkade.
In the Watergraafsmeer, in which the Oostpoort area lies, you will notice the abundance of space and as you come from the city centre you will see the first low-rise buildings. The Watergraafsmeer has large green spaces and there are several magnificent churches and even a country estate. It is the ideal place for families and active professionals. There is a good range of schools and plenty of opportunity for outdoor activities. There is a football club and the Jaap Edenhal ice rink is close by. But there is more to the Watergraafsmeer! You will find exceptional building styles, for example in Betondorp and there is a bustling art and culture scene.
