LOCATION:
The Houthavens is a new and luxurious neighborhood with canals, lots of greenery, and views of the IJ and the NDSM in Amsterdam North. Unlike other new construction projects, it is directly connected to the city center and the older city, such as the lively Spaarndammerstraat, Prinseneiland, the Jordaan, the Haarlemmerstraat, Haarlemmerdijk, and the Noordermarkt. The Westerpark is literally and figuratively around the corner. There are internationally oriented schools, nice shops, good restaurants, and bars. There are also several gyms, an Albert Heijn, and a Jumbo supermarket. Within walking distance of the apartment is the jetty on the IJ, where you can swim in summer and winter.
ACCESSIBILITY & PARKING:
The apartment is a stone's throw from Central Station and the lively Jordaan district. The Houthavens is car-free. However, the A1, A9, and A10 are easily accessible by car.
This lovely apartment with a view of the IJ is also easily accessible by public transportation. Parking is available in the underground parking garage. There is also a public parking lot nearby. However, a resident app allows you to park temporarily in other locations.
From the apartment, you can reach Central Station in just a few minutes. You can also quickly reach the ring road by car. Bus and tram connections are also easy.
There are numerous well-known restaurants and cafés in the immediate vicinity, such as restaurant ‘Lars’, ‘De Bak’, hotel ‘The July’ with a lovely terrace on the IJ, a new branch of Brasserie George, café ‘het Heilig Leven’ and restaurant ‘BAK’. There are also many small restaurants in Spaarndammerstraat.
On Saturdays, you can do your shopping at the (organic) market on the Noordermarkt or the Lindengracht.
For relaxation, you can visit the Westerpark or take the ferry to the bustling NDSM shipyard in Amsterdam North. The ferry connection is excellent. The north is also teeming with nice restaurants, such as Helling 7.
