Surroundings:
The Houthaven district is so much more than simply a place to live. A host of creative companies have already settled in the area, which is also home to two primary schools, a secondary school, a nursery, out-of-school care, a residential care home, a playgroup and a gym. It also has trendy bars, stylish restaurants, and cosy terraces on the waterfront. The district, which is adjacent to the charming Spaarndammerbuurt quarter, is ideally located for access to the A10 West orbital motorway. You can get to Central Station and Sloterdijk Station by bike in just ten minutes. Haarlemmerplein, Westerpark and the Jordaan district are a mere five-minute bike ride away and the ferry to the iconic NDSM district is close by too. Amsterdam Houthaven is one of Amsterdam’s absolute hot spots.
Sustainability is a priority in Houthaven. Both in your home and in the building’s communal areas, high-tech solutions have been incorporated to maximise your comfort. The apartment complex boasts a very high insulation value, renewable energy from the district heating network – which saves CO2 emissions – and on-site power generation. Industrial residual heat is used for both the underfloor heating and your running hot water. A thermostat gives you full control of how warm or cool you want your home to be. The same underfloor system that heats your home can also lower the indoor temperature with cold water from the IJ river. This approach to cooling is highly energy efficient, keeping temperatures down by ensuring that the structure of the building does not heat up. The roof of the complex has been fitted with solar panels, the output from which is used to heat the communal areas. Not only will you be living in a light and comfortable home in a lovely neighbourhood close to Amsterdam city centre, but you will also be investing in a property that looks to the wider world and our children’s future. In short, this is a fantastic place to live.
