Shortly after it was drained in 1629, stately country estates were built here for wealthy Amsterdammers, and from 1817 to 1921 it was even a municipality of its own. Now it is a quiet, village-like area with wide streets, gardens and its own garden city within its borders.","wijk_buurten":"","wijk_sectie_1_titel":"The character of the Watergraafsmeer","wijk_sectie_1_tekst":"The Watergraafsmeer was once the Diemermeer, drained in 1629 in thirteen months with seven windmills. Wealthy Amsterdammers built country estates there to escape the bustle of the city. Only the Frankendael estate, with the house of the same name on the Middenweg, remains.\n\nMore than a hundred years ago, Betondorp was also built here, one of the first garden cities in the Netherlands: straight streets around an octagonal square, small courtyards and lots of greenery. The area has never lost that quiet, village-like atmosphere.","wijk_sectie_1_afbeelding_id":"36384","wijk_sectie_2_titel":"Living in the Watergraafsmeer: homes and price level","wijk_sectie_2_tekst":"Most homes date from the 1920s and 1930s, built in the style of the Amsterdam School and the Nieuwe Bouwen (Dutch modernism). Think of spacious single-family homes with their own garden, bay windows and stained glass, something you rarely find in Amsterdam anymore.\n\nBecause of that space and peace, the area is sought after, but generally more accessibly priced than areas such as De Pijp or Oud-West. That is exactly why first-time buyers and families are often looking for the same house here.","wijk_sectie_2_afbeelding_id":"36385","wijk_sectie_3_titel":"Shopping, eating and relaxing","wijk_sectie_3_tekst":"The Middenweg is the area's village street, with specialist shops, caf\u00e9s and restaurants within walking distance of each other. At the end, in the middle of Frankendael park, you will find Grand Caf\u00e9 Frankendael and Michelin-starred restaurant De Kas, housed in an old nursery greenhouse.\n\nFrankendael park itself is the green heart of the area: an English landscape garden with ponds, a special flower border and plenty of room to stretch out on the grass.","wijk_sectie_3_afbeelding_id":"36386","wijk_sectie_4_titel":"Getting around from the Watergraafsmeer","wijk_sectie_4_tekst":"Tram 19 runs right through the area, from Sloterdijk station via the centre to Diemen Sniep. On the edge are the Van der Madeweg and Overamstel metro stations, with lines 50, 53 and 54 towards Centraal Station and the Zuidas.\n\nIf you live in the eastern part of the area, you can easily hop on the train at Amsterdam Science Park station. By car you are on the A10 ring road within a few minutes.","wijk_sectie_4_afbeelding_id":"36387","wijk_sectie_5_titel":"Who is the Watergraafsmeer right for","wijk_sectie_5_tekst":"The spacious homes with gardens, the peace and all the greenery make the Watergraafsmeer the ultimate family area. Children still simply play on the street here, and sports clubs are literally around the corner.\n\nLooking for the lively nightlife of De Pijp or the centre? Then the Watergraafsmeer is a bit quieter by nature. But if you are looking for space, greenery and a village atmosphere within the city limits of Amsterdam, this is the right place.","wijk_sectie_5_afbeelding_id":"36388","wijk_faq_1_vraag":"Is the Watergraafsmeer an expensive area to buy in?","wijk_faq_1_antwoord":"The Watergraafsmeer is generally more accessibly priced than areas such as De Pijp or Oud-West, but because of the peace and greenery it remains a sought-after place. The more spacious single-family homes with gardens, such as in Betondorp, attract many buyers in particular.","wijk_faq_2_vraag":"Is the Watergraafsmeer suitable for families?","wijk_faq_2_antwoord":"Yes, the Watergraafsmeer is one of the most family-friendly areas of Amsterdam. Spacious homes with gardens, lots of greenery in Frankendael park and quiet streets make it a great place for children to grow up.","wijk_faq_3_vraag":"How do I get to the Watergraafsmeer by public transport?","wijk_faq_3_antwoord":"Tram 19 runs right through the area towards the centre and Diemen, and the Van der Madeweg and Overamstel metro stations on the edge serve lines 50, 53 and 54. Amsterdam Science Park station takes you quickly to Amstel and Muiderpoort.","wijk_tips_titel":"Tips from Lisa","wijk_tips_tekst":"The Watergraafsmeer is green, and so are my tips. At Harvey on the Galile\u00efplantsoen you drink specialty coffee with homemade cake. In Park Frankendael you'll find Restaurant De Kas, in a greenhouse from 1926, where what is harvested in the morning is on your plate by the afternoon. In the same park, the Pure Markt is held on the last Sunday of every month, with food and crafts. And on the Amstel, just south of Amstel station, lies Park Somerlust, a lawn by the water.","wijk_tips_afbeelding_id":"36955","wijk_faq_werken":"Yes.
