A modern apartment on Faas Wilkesstraat
This bright apartment on Faas Wilkesstraat sits in the Sportheldenbuurt, a young part of Amsterdam where the streets are named after sports heroes. Built in 2019, it has an A+ energy label, so it is very efficient to run. At €2,025 per month, the rent sits 25% below the neighbourhood average of €2,707, which makes it keenly priced compared with other apartments in Amsterdam.
The Sportheldenbuurt
The Sportheldenbuurt neighbourhood is a recent addition to the city, with a mix of young professionals and families. Just under half of the residents are between 25 and 45, and more than half of the households are single people. The area has a modern, open feel, with wide streets and new buildings. There are no resident reviews available yet, so the picture here is based on the figures rather than personal accounts.
Life on the street
Daily life here is straightforward. The nearest Albert Heijn is just around the corner for groceries, and a large supermarket is a couple of streets away. For school runs, KC De Optimist primary school is a couple of streets away, while Cburg College and ALASCA secondary schools are both on your doorstep. The train station is 3.7 km away, which is a longer trip, but the area is well served by the wider municipality of Amsterdam.
