Buiksloterham-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-year-old apartment on Asterweg sits in the up-and-coming Buiksloterham-Zuid area, a former harbour district that's being transformed into a lively residential neighbourhood. At 50 m² it's compact but super efficient, with an A++ energy label keeping bills low. The rent of €1,460 is keen, 43% below the neighbourhood average, partly because it's smaller than most rentals here. For context, flats in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one offers a rare chance to live in a new-build for a reasonable price.

And I think it's a great neighbourhood. With nice people and beautiful energy-efficient houses." Another adds: "I've been living here for 2 years now and I'm very happy with the neighbourhood." The area is densely built (2,685 addresses per km²) and very urban, with mostly flats and a mix of young professionals and families. Average household size is 1.8, and incomes are typical for Amsterdam. For more on the area, see the Buiksloterham-Zuid neighbourhood.

I've been living on Hetty Blokstraat for 2 years now. And I think it's a great neighbourhood. With nice people and beautiful energy-efficient houses. The public transport connections are unfortunately not great. But since this is a new district, I think that will change. I think it's a super nice neighbourhood and I don't think I'll ever leave this neighbourhood.
