Neighborhood Guide
The Houthavens: a successful and vibrant new neighborhood with 7 islands and charming canals. This area is full of life, with a cozy coffee spot, a park, and several play areas for children. Wiborgeiland is known for its wide, car-free streets surrounded by water. There are plenty of delightful places nearby. For instance, Hotel Boat&Co features the restaurant Vessel, open from early morning until late evening. It has a stunning terrace by the water, where many people swim during the summer. Bar Hout, conveniently located next to the playground, is ideal for parents while the kids play (and they serve delicious lunches and snacks). For coffee or lunch, Anne&Max and Dignita in the Spaarndammerstraat are highly recommended. In the same street, you’ll find cozy restaurants and bars like Café De Walvis, Compartir, Freud, and Morris & Bella—all within a few minutes’ walking distance. By ferry or your own boat, you can quickly reach Amsterdam Noord, home to popular spots such as Loetje, Pllek, and Helling 7. For daily shopping, the Spaarndammerstraat has everything you need, including supermarkets, a bakery, butcher, greengrocer, and more. The Houthavens also boasts its own park, Houthavenpark, and for green thumbs, there’s Tuinpark Zonnehoek.

STOERE JONGENS No. 163
As a real estate agency, we manage the sale of a diverse range of properties. For us as real estate agents, this variety is highly stimulating and contributes to a comprehensive understanding of Amsterdam’s housing market. Personally, I find the design and layout of the Houthavens to be very well thought out and a great complement to the “old city.” The neighborhood’s dynamic is very pleasant, and the amenities are excellent. On streets such as the Spaarndammerstraat and Haarlemmerstraat, you’ll find a diverse selection of shops, specialty stores, and delicatessens. Additionally, the area boasts several excellent restaurants and cozy cafés. The apartment is a beautifully designed and impeccably maintained ground-floor home of approximately 65 m². It offers the perfect combination of contemporary living and comfort. With a spacious living room featuring high ceilings (3.31 meters) that opens onto the loggia, a stunning kitchen with an island, a full-sized bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, underfloor heating/cooling, a robust wooden floor, a laundry room, a separate toilet, and a loggia, this is a refined home where you will feel instantly at ease. The property was built in 2018 as part of a large-scale development focused on the future, incorporating extra insulation measures, gas-free construction, and the installation of underfloor heating and cooling systems. If you’re interested, I would be happy to invite you for a visit. Of course, I’ll tell you more about the apartment then. Hopefully, see you soon!
The municipality and developers have agreed that the Houthavens must become a 100% climate-neutral district. In the Houthavens, environmentally friendly construction has been a priority, with extra attention given to energy and material use. The Wiborg project was completed in 2020 and designed by architect Neelu Boparai. He drew inspiration from the Houthavens themselves, as well as from the Entrepotdok, the robust warehouses in Hamburg, and the lofts in New York.
The assignment for Wiborgeiland was to design a 150-meter-long residential strip offering water views on both sides. The theme for this island was ‘stoere jongens’ (tough guys), referring to the warehouses of the past. The Stoere Jongens is located on the first island on the western side of the Houthavens. All islands in the Houthavens are named after Hanseatic cities with which trade was conducted in the past. The rich trading culture of Amsterdam is reflected in the architecture of Wiborg. The facades are varied, with nine different designs for three apartment buildings and sixteen individual properties. The sturdy warehouses are detailed in a variety of ways, ranging from sleek, modern designs to more literal interpretations of classic warehouses with brickwork.
The living room serves as the heart of the home. There is ample space for a seating and dining area, making it the ideal place for relaxation and socializing. The large windows and the very high ceiling of over 3.3 meters allow for plenty of natural light, further enhancing the space. Adjacent to the living room is the loggia. The folding doors create a pleasant connection with the outdoor space. The robust wooden floor, which runs throughout the entire apartment, combined with the corner location, adds a unique and playful character. The open kitchen is equipped with Bosch built-in appliances, including an refrigerator, freezer, oven, combination microwave, dishwasher, and Bora induction cooktop. In the hallway, you will find a laundry room and a separate toilet.
The master bedroom is located on the quiet street side of the apartment and offers space for a double bed and a large wardrobe. The en-suite bathroom is equipped with a spacious walk-in shower, a double washbasin unit, and a designer radiator. The bathroom is timelessly tiled with a combination of a concrete-look floor tile and white wall tiles.
The outdoor living experience is further enhanced by the loggia, which adjoins the living room and is accessible via a large folding door. The loggia is approximately 7 m² in size and faces northwest, where you can enjoy the evening sun. Thanks to its partly enclosed position, it is a pleasant spot to spend time early in the season, making it an ideal place to relax.
De Houthavens is een succes: een nieuwe wijk met zeven eilanden en gezellige grachten. De wijk bruist nu echt, met leuke koffietentjes, een park en diverse speelplekken voor kinderen. Wiborgeiland is een brede, autoluwe straat omringd door water. Er zijn enorm veel leuke plekken in de buurt. Hotel The July – Boat&Co heeft een restaurant, Vessel, dat open is van ’s ochtends vroeg tot ’s avonds laat. Het terras aan het water is erg mooi, waar in de zomer iedereen gaat zwemmen. Bar Hout ligt aan de speeltuin, ideaal als de kinderen daar rondrennen (goede lunch en borrelsnacks). Anne&Max of Dignita (Spaarndammerstraat) zijn perfect voor lekkere koffie of lunch. Café de Walvis, Compartir, Freud en Morris & Bella zijn allemaal gezellige restaurants en barretjes aan de Spaarndammerstraat, op slechts enkele minuten lopen van ons huis. Met de pont of je eigen boot ben je ook zo in Noord, bij Loetje, Pllek of Helling 7. Voor boodschappen kun je uitstekend terecht op de Spaarndammerstraat, waar supermarkten, een bakker, slager, groenteboer, etc. te vinden zijn. De Houthavens heeft al haar eigen park, het Houthavenpark, en voor de echte groene vingers is er ook Tuinpark Zonnehoek. Daarnaast is het befaamde Westerpark met zijn ruime aanbod aan vermaak dichtbij. De perfecte plek om te wandelen, lunchen, borrelen en ’s avonds te dineren. In de wijk zijn inmiddels twee basisscholen (Onze Amsterdamse School en Daltonschool De Spaarndammerhout) en kinderopvang aanwezig.
Bereikbaarheid
Openbaar vervoer (bus 22, 48, N81) is op loopafstand te vinden. Ook de pont naar Amsterdam-Noord is op enkele minuten afstand. Het Centraal Station is op 10 minuten fietsafstand. De buurt is goed bereikbaar via afslag S101 (ring A10) en door de aanpassingen aan de Spaarndammerstraat is de doorstroming optimaal verbeterd. Westerpark en het centrum zijn beide op 5 minuten fietsafstand, een fijne, rustige buurt met veel gezelligheid in de nabije omgeving.
Parkeergelegenheid
In de buurt geldt betaald parkeren. De parkeerplek onder in het gebouw op -2 is uitsluitend van toepassing bij de vraagprijs van €600.000. De afgesloten parkeergarage is vanaf de Helsingforsbrug aan de kopse kant van het bouwblok te bereiken en is uitgerust met een op afstand te openen elektrische poort. Het liftsysteem brengt het voertuig, inclusief passagier(s), naar -2, waar in het eigen vak (nummer 51) geparkeerd kan worden. De parkeerplaats (3,91 x 2,72 meter) is voorzien van een elektrische laadpaal.
