Best things and drawbacks to living in Oosteinde
Pros:
- Direct access to Westeinderplas: water and rowing boats are literally at your doorstep, not somewhere in the neighborhood
- Short bike ride to Aalsmeer station (5 minutes), trains to Amsterdam Centraal and Schiphol
- Mostly detached and semi-detached houses with gardens; not packed with apartments
- Quieter than central Aalsmeer, but still close enough to shops on Zijdstraat
Cons:
- Aalsmeer is a commuter town: many houses sit empty during the day, little street life
- Water management requires upkeep: you depend on water-level control and can suffer from mosquitoes in summer
- Limited nightlife; for restaurants and cafés you rely on the center or Amsterdam
- House prices are high due to waterfront location, but you don't get the status of neighborhoods like the Gooi region
