Eastern Docklands
Located in the eastern part of Amsterdam, the Docklands area has become one of the most residential and desirable locations in the entire city. Our Amsterdam apartments are close to the urban architectural bridges and buildings and the district’s thriving nightlife, which are attracting a crowd that desires an active social scene and beautiful architecture. The Docklands area’s architecture that is particularly unique is the ‘fool’s bridges’, offering quirky and distinctive bridge designs that are brilliantly creative in their concept.
The Docklands area was originally developed to transport passengers to the former Dutch East and the West Indies, before modern transportation methods meant the area became largely disused. However, in the 1980s the city realised the area’s residential appeal due to its urban architecture and range of beautiful canals, and set about revitalising the area. It is now a popular place to live for young, trendy individuals due to its social activity and for families who are attracted by its stunning houses, making our Amsterdam apartments desirable properties.
Amsterdam is famous for its cafés with Eastern Docklands no different. There are a number of great cafés and eateries that are reasonably priced and offer the friendly atmosphere Amsterdam is known for, with many also playing live music and dancing. The nightlife is very active in Docklands, with plenty of young professionals around to socialise with. The Stedelijk Museum is also located on the western border of Docklands, giving an insight into a collection of the best modern art in Amsterdam and providing some culture.
Eastern Docklands is a pedestrian friendly zone with many walking and cycling pathways all around, whilst the docks themselves provide the option of getting to and from Amsterdam by sea. Our Amsterdam apartments in Docklands will put you right in the heart of a contemporary and popular area that’s perfect for a relaxing yet eventful city break.
