Willibrordusbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis spacious apartment on the Dora Tamanaplein sits in the lively Willibrordusbuurt, part of the popular Nieuwe Pijp area. Built in 2018, it offers 133 m² of well-designed living space with an A energy label, so you can expect low energy costs. At €4,650 per month, the rent is 37% above the neighbourhood average of €3,398, which puts it on the high side, but you're paying for a large, new-build home in a sought-after part of town. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.
The neighbourhood Willibrordusbuurt is a dense, urban area with over 11,600 addresses per km², very strong city living. Based on two reviews, opinions are divided. One resident calls it "nice neighbourhood and nice people," adding "it's a nice, safe neighbourhood, beautiful buildings and it's central." Another describes it as "messy, mixed.. little greenery," noting that "sometimes nice, sometimes a lot of poverty, sometimes chaotic, sometimes ok." The area has many single-person households (1,265) and few families with children (210), so it's mostly young professionals and older residents. Average incomes are in line with the city norm.
For your morning bread, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a Lidl is a couple of streets away. There are several schools within walking distance: the 4e Montessorischool de Pinksterbloem (primary) is a five-minute walk, and the Cygnus Gymnasium (secondary) is about ten minutes away. The municipality Amsterdam offers excellent public transport, with a train station 1.8 km away and plenty of bus and tram options nearby. Restaurants and a library are also on your doorstep.
At the time of writing, this home is listed through two channels: VVA Amsterdam and Grand Apartments Amsterdam on Pararius. The rent is set at €4,650 per month, and given the quick market (homes here rent in about 18 days on average), it's worth noting the listing is active now.

About Dora Tamanaplein 16, Amsterdam
The rent is 37% above the neighbourhood average of €3,398, but this is a large (133 m²), new-build (2018) apartment with an A energy label. Comparable apartments in the area are smaller on average (109 m²) and often older, so the premium reflects the modern specs and size. Whether it's fair depends on your budget and how much you value a high-end, energy-efficient home in a central location.
Residents have mixed views. One says it's a "nice, safe neighbourhood," while another mentions it can feel "chaotic" at times. The area recorded 161 total crimes in the latest data, which is typical for a dense urban area. Overall, it's a busy, central part of Amsterdam with a lively street scene.
The nearest train station is 1.8 km away, so about a 20-minute walk or a short tram ride. The area is very well served by trams and buses, given its central location in Amsterdam. You can reach the city centre in about 10-15 minutes by public transport.
The nearest park or public garden is 0.5 km away, about a five-minute walk. Some residents feel the neighbourhood lacks greenery, but the nearby park offers a place to relax. The famous Vondelpark is also within a 15-minute walk.
On average, rental homes in the Willibrordusbuurt are rented within 18 days. That's quite fast, indicating a strong demand. So if you're interested, it's worth acting promptly.
The apartment has an A energy label, which is very efficient. That means low heating and electricity costs compared to older homes. The building is from 2018, so it meets modern insulation and ventilation standards.
