Dirk Vreekenstraat 120

A bright and efficient apartment in Amsterdam's Rietlanden

This 101 m² apartment on the Dirk Vreekenstraat sits in the Oostelijk Havengebied, a former dock area turned into a modern residential district. With an A+ energy label, it's one of the most efficient homes you'll find, low heating costs and a comfortable indoor climate all year round. Built in 2002, the property is part of a generation of well-designed apartments that define this part of the city. At €689,000, the asking price is 17% below the neighbourhood average of €825,429, making it a keen entry point compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.

Rietlanden: a quiet, family-friendly enclave

Rietlanden is a small, tight-knit neighbourhood with around 2,450 residents. It's a place where most homes are apartments, only 5% are single-family houses, and the streets have a calm, residential feel. One resident sums it up: "Decent enough, a bit boring sometimes." That quietness is a draw for many: the area has a high proportion of households with children (320) and a low crime rate (186 total offences). Average incomes are above the city norm, and the mix of ages, from young professionals to retirees, gives it a stable, settled atmosphere. For more context, see the neighbourhood Rietlanden page.

Daily life on the Dirk Vreekenstraat

Your morning routine is easy: Jumbo is just around the corner for groceries, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. For families, Montessorischool Op de Kade is on your doorstep, and Montessori Lyceum Pax is a five-minute walk for secondary education. The neighbourhood is well served by parks, a green space is a five-minute walk away, and restaurants are just around the corner. The city centre is a short cycle, and the municipality Amsterdam offers everything you'd expect from a capital.
