A spacious apartment in Dorp Sloten
This bright apartment on Akerpolderstraat 3B sits in the village-like heart of Dorp Sloten, a corner of Amsterdam that feels a world away from the city bustle. With 164 m² of living space, it is a generous home for a couple or a small family. The rent of €3,250 per month is on the high side compared with the local market, but the size and the setting carry real weight. For context, apartments in Amsterdam typically command a premium, and this one is no exception.
The Dorp Sloten neighbourhood
Dorp Sloten is a small, close-knit community of about 730 residents, with a mix of ages and a noticeable share of older households. The streets are quiet, and the atmosphere is more village than city. One resident says: "It's peaceful here, with the polder right on your doorstep." Another adds: "Everyone knows each other, and it feels safe." Based on two reviews, the sense of community comes through strongly. The Dorp Sloten neighbourhood is a place where neighbours stop to chat, and the pace of life is noticeably slower than in the rest of Amsterdam.
Life on the street
Daily errands are straightforward, though you will walk a bit for the big shops. The nearest supermarket, an Albert Heijn, is a ten-minute walk away, with a Dirk and a Jumbo just a couple of streets further. For school runs, Basisschool Het Bovenland is just around the corner, and the Christelijke Basisschool Oranje Nassau is about a ten-minute walk. The train station is 5.1 km away, so most journeys into the city will start with a bike or a bus. The municipality of Amsterdam offers all the cultural and practical amenities you could want, but here you get the calm of the countryside within the city limits.

Frequently asked questions
About Akerpolderstraat 3B, Amsterdam
Is €3,250 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is on the high side compared with the average in the neighbourhood, but the apartment is also larger than most. With 164 m² of living space and an A energy label, the monthly costs for heating and electricity should be relatively low. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the quiet village setting.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient label on the scale. That means the home is officially registered as very energy-efficient, so you can expect lower energy bills than with a less efficient property. The label is an official registration and does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn at about 1.1 km, which is roughly a ten-minute walk. A Dirk and a Jumbo are just a bit further, around 1.2 km. For daily shopping, you will need to plan a short walk or take a bike, but the choice of stores is good within a couple of kilometres.
What schools are close by?
There are several primary schools within easy reach. Basisschool Het Bovenland is just 286 metres away, so it is a short walk for young children. The Christelijke Basisschool Oranje Nassau is about 808 metres, and De Odyssee is 857 metres. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 1.1 km away.
How is the neighbourhood for families?
Dorp Sloten is a small community with a mix of households. About 29% of households have children, and the streets are quiet and safe. The village feel and the nearby polder make it a pleasant place for children to grow up, with schools and a childcare centre within walking distance.
How far is the train station?
The nearest train station is 5.1 km away. That is a bit of a distance, so you would likely cycle or take a bus to get there. The apartment is not directly next to public transport, but the quiet location is part of its appeal.
