Buying a home in Industriegebied Amstel, Amsterdam-Duivendrecht.
The Industriegebied Amstel isn't for everyone, but if you value space and quiet, you'll find it here. You'll see mostly commercial buildings and storage facilities, though more people are discovering the potential: large lofts and converted warehouses with high ceilings and plenty of light. The neighbourhood sits right on the water, and you're a ten-minute ride into Duivendrecht or a bike ride away from Amsterdam-East. What matters: it still feels industrial, and that's exactly the appeal if you want to escape the bustle.
