Public transport is very close, you can reach other cities like Delft, Leiden, Utrecht in The Netherlands very easy by train.

Neighbourhood
Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighborhood is quite trendy/populair, and quit as well! Museums, city center, Anne Frank house all very close by.
The beach is about 40 minutes by car or train/bus.
Closeby is a beautiful so called 'cultural park' (Westerpark), with restaurants, Cafe's, a Club, children's animal farm and of course trees!
We live almost on top of a popular GYM (Yoga, fitness e.a.). The popular 'Jordaan' area is within walking distance and trams, buses are everywhere nearby.
By train beautiful other cities as Utrecht, Delft, The Hague, Rotterdam, and the famous Windmills are easily accessible.
Ofcourse there are lots of (boat)trips or bustrips organized to visit typical Dutch sites.
And who dares, can rent a bicycle, as almost all Amsterdam people ride a bike, but be carefull!
