American Expat Community
The American expat community appreciates the quality of life in Amsterdam: cycling to work, proximity to beaches and forests, and the balance between work and personal life. The majority of people in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area speak English, and there is an excellent level of international education available to those relocating with families.
Active community
There are several very active social and professional expat clubs that American expatriates and their partners can join. These organisations hold many networking and social events as well as represent the American business community to Dutch governmental agencies.
