A new-build apartment in Amsterdam's D-buurt
This is a brand-new apartment on Develstein, in the D-buurt area of Amsterdam. Built in 2023 and with an A++ energy label, it is as efficient as homes get these days. At €1,193 per month, the rent sat at the top of the range for rentals in this part of the city, where the average asking rent was €1,116. That puts it on the high side, though the new construction and top-tier label help explain the premium. For context, apartments in Amsterdam generally command higher rents than this. This home has not been online since 18 September 2026.
