The Sluisbuurt

Centrally located, perfectly connected, welcome to the Sluisbuurt

Horizons rises on the western edge of Zeeburgereiland, at the heart of the new Sluisbuurt: a green, low-traffic neighbourhood with 5,500 homes, amenities within walking distance and space for living, working and relaxing, urban, peaceful and exceptionally well connected.

A neighbourhood with character

The Sluisbuurt on Zeeburgereiland is an emerging and vibrant urban district.

Here, you live among contemporary architecture, with high-rise buildings that create light and openness, wide streets and green parks that invite you to slow down and explore. Go for a run along the waterfront. The neighbourhood has an international atmosphere while retaining its unmistakable Amsterdam character.

Living by the water

In the Sluisbuurt, you live directly on the IJ, surrounded by canals and green waterfronts where you can relax, walk, paddleboard or simply enjoy life by the water.

De Sluisbuurt: Everything within easy reach and exceptionally well connected

Everything within easy reach: supermarkets, boutiques, coffee bars, sports clubs, schools, and co-working spaces complete the neighbourhood.
