A new-build apartment on the Weespertrekvaart
This apartment on Dijkmeerlaan 495 sits in the Weespertrekvaart area of Amsterdam, a part of the city that is still taking shape. The building dates from 2022, so everything here was fresh and modern, and the energy label A++ meant running costs should stay low. At €2,250 per month, the rent sat 26% above the neighbourhood average of €1,780, which put it on the high side for this part of town. For context, that is in line with what you would pay for apartments in Amsterdam of this size and age. This home has not been online since 29 August 2026.
The Weespertrekvaart neighbourhood
The Weespertrekvaart neighbourhood is a young, dense pocket of Amsterdam with a very strong urban feel. The area counts around 1,400 residents, and the vast majority of households are single people, with only a small share of families with children. One resident, who has lived here for less than six months, says: "I've lived here for less than six months and had high expectations, unfortunately they haven't been met and I feel unsafe in the neighbourhood." That is a single review, so it is one perspective rather than a general verdict, but it is worth knowing before you commit.
Life on the street
For daily errands, the nearest supermarket is an AH to go, just around the corner, with an Aldi and a full Albert Heijn a couple of streets further out. School options are close by too: Montessorischool de Amstel is a primary school just around the corner, and Daltonschool Spinoza20first, a secondary school, is a five-minute walk away. The area is part of the municipality of Amsterdam, which means all the city's amenities, from restaurants to parks, are within easy reach.

Frequently asked questions
About Dijkmeerlaan 495, Amsterdam
Was €2,250 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent was 26% above the neighbourhood average of €1,780, so it was on the high side for the Weespertrekvaart area. The apartment is 64 m² with an A++ energy label and was built in 2022, which explains part of the premium. Whether it was fair depended on what you value, but the price clearly sat above what most rentals in this neighbourhood go for.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A++, which is the most efficient label available. The label is an official registration, so it is a reliable indicator of the home's energy performance.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 3.0 km away. That is a distance you would likely cover by bike or public transport rather than on foot. The area is well connected for a city like Amsterdam, but the station is not on your doorstep.
What is the neighbourhood like for young professionals?
The Weespertrekvaart neighbourhood is very urban, with a high address density and a population that is mostly between 25 and 45 years old. Around 75% of households are single people, so it is an area dominated by young professionals rather than families. The one resident review available is critical, mentioning safety concerns, so it is worth being aware of that perspective.
Are there good schools nearby?
Yes, there are several schools within walking distance. Montessorischool de Amstel, a primary school, is about 371 metres away, and Daltonschool Spinoza20first, a secondary school, is about 359 metres away. There are also special education options within a kilometre, so school choice is reasonably covered in this area.
How did the rent compare to other rentals in the area?
The average rent in the neighbourhood was €1,780, with a median of €1,890. The range went from €960 to €2,950, so this apartment at €2,250 sat in the upper part of that spectrum. The average price per square metre was €27.92, while this home worked out to about €35 per m², reflecting its new-build status and high energy label.
