What does Spoorzicht offer?
Diemen is a quiet residential area just outside Amsterdam, where you'll find families and couples who want to escape the city without going too far. The homes are mostly 1930s and 1950s buildings, with decent gardens and plenty of green space around you. You're close enough to Amsterdam that tram 9 gets you downtown in minutes, but you have far more space and peace than living in the city itself. The Diemerbos forest and Muiderslot castle are nearby, so if you enjoy walking and cycling, you're well placed.
