A 1929 apartment on the Baarsjesweg
This rental apartment on the Baarsjesweg sits in the Paramariboplein e.o. neighbourhood, a part of Amsterdam that residents describe as quiet and still improving. The home covers 61 m² and carries an energy label A, which is the most efficient label, so heating costs should stay modest. At €2,850 per month, the rent sits above the neighbourhood average of €2,666, which is in line with the market given the central location. For context, apartments in Amsterdam in this price range are not uncommon.
The Paramariboplein e.o. neighbourhood
Based on three resident reviews, the neighbourhood gets a mixed but mostly positive reception. One resident says: "It's a nice quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the city but still close to many good amenities that a city has to offer. The neighbourhood is still becoming more beautiful." Another adds: "Always nice, lots of squares for your children and also many babysitting houses, so actually perfect for a family." A third review is less flattering, noting that "the residents are antisocial, no one keeps the neighbourhood tidy, the gardens are used as dog walking spots, a shame but this neighbourhood has deteriorated extremely." The area is home to many single-person households, and the average household size is 1.8. The Paramariboplein e.o. neighbourhood is a mix of opinions, but the positive voices highlight its calm and family-friendly squares.
Life on the street
For daily shopping, a Jumbo and a Lidl are both just around the corner, with an Albert Heijn a ten-minute walk away. The morning routine is easy: pick up bread at the Jumbo, drop the kids at OBS Corantijn, a primary school a five-minute walk from the door, or at Brede School Annie M.G. Schmidt, which is a similar distance. For older children, Postjes College is a couple of streets away. The area is well served by amenities, and the municipality of Amsterdam offers a wide range of services within easy reach.

With a floor area of 61 m², the price per square metre comes to about €46.72, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €35.82 per m². The energy label A and the central location help explain the premium, but the rent is on the high side compared with other rentals in the area.
