Steigereiland is the first of the IJburg Islands when approaching from central Amsterdam.[1] The island comprises three neighbourhoods - Noodbuurt, Zuidbuurt and Waterbuurt - the last of which is home to a number of floating houses.[2] Steigereiland is connected to Zeeburgereiland by the Enneüs Heermabrug.[3]

Once fully constructed, there will be around 2000 buildings on Steigereiland, including a number of self-build projects concentrated in the southern part of the island - these buildings are designed and constructed individually, resulting in a diverse array of architectural styles.

Steigereiland is served by tram line 26, the IJtram, which runs from the end of the neighbouring Haveneiland to its terminus at Central Station.
