Amsterdam-Noord
Buyer’s agent in Amsterdam Noord
Amsterdam Noord has been undergoing rapid transformation, emerging as one of the most trendy and desirable residential areas in Amsterdam. Once an industrial hub, the NDSM Wharf has been completely redeveloped over the past fifteen years into a lively cultural and residential district. With the waterfront redevelopment and the EYE Film Institute, Amsterdam Noord is shaping up to be the “New Amsterdam on the IJ.”
But Amsterdam Noord is more than just modern developments. You’ll also find charming garden villages like Tuindorp Oostzaan, as well as apartment complexes from the 1980s and 1990s in Buikslotermeer. Several new housing projects, including Docklands and Overhoeks, are also underway, adding to the area’s dynamic growth. Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam actively operates in Amsterdam Noord, guiding clients through the latest real estate opportunities and traditional neighborhoods.
One of the major advantages of living in Noord compared to the city center is easier parking and more affordable housing. Unlike Amsterdam Zuid, where prices have soared, Amsterdam Noord still offers accessible housing options.
About Amsterdam Noord
The harbor area of Amsterdam Noord has become a creative hotspot, attracting businesses to the revitalized NDSM Wharf. Meanwhile, garden villages like Nieuwendam, Buiksloot, and Oostzaan offer a peaceful, community-oriented lifestyle. If you’re looking for even more space and tranquility, rural Noord provides charming villages like Ransdorp, Durgerdam, and Schellingwoude, where nature and open landscapes dominate.
From Amsterdam Noord, you can reach the city center in just a few minutes by ferry, making it an excellent location for those who want city life with a bit more breathing room. The IJplein neighborhood, designed in the 1980s by the renowned architect Rem Koolhaas, remains a popular area for those looking to live just outside the city’s hustle and bustle.
Although many homes in Noord are built on modern concrete foundations, some older garden village homes from the 1920s may have foundation concerns. Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam ensures that you are fully informed about any potential foundation issues before making an offer.
Living in Amsterdam Noord
Amsterdam Noord offers a diverse housing selection, from row houses with gardens to modern city apartments with stunning IJ views. The district is home to numerous parks and green spaces, including Vliegenbos, Schellingwouderpark, Florapark, and Volewijkspark, making it ideal for families and outdoor enthusiasts.
Whether you’re a young professional looking for a modern apartment or a family seeking a quiet, spacious home, Noord has something to offer. The district also features a mix of rental and owner-occupied properties, with many older buildings managed by homeowners’ associations (VvEs). Some properties also fall under leasehold agreements. Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam will investigate the financial health of any VvE before you commit to a purchase, ensuring you understand any long-term obligations.
Recreation in Amsterdam Noord
The garden villages of Amsterdam Noord provide plenty of green recreational areas, offering residents a peaceful retreat from city life. The area uniquely combines the informal charm of village life with the vibrant city atmosphere of the waterfront and the IJ River.
Noord also boasts modern sports facilities, including the newly renovated Noorderparkbad swimming complex. But nothing beats a scenic bike ride from one of Noord’s garden villages to the harbor, where you can catch the ferry and be in central Amsterdam within five minutes.

Reviews
Ook de samenwerking met hypotheekadviseur A&H finance was heel prettig. Iwan en Tabitha zitten vaak bij elkaar op kantoor waardoor ze onderling ook overleggen wat voor jou mogelijk is.
