A modern apartment in Buiksloterham-Zuid
This is a newly built apartment on the Grasweg, in the up-and-coming Buiksloterham-Zuid area of Amsterdam-Noord. The building dates from 2022 and the home comes with an A++ energy label, so it is very efficient to run. With 69 square metres of living space, it is a compact but well-proportioned home. The rent of €1,835 per month sits well below the average for the neighbourhood, which makes it a keenly priced option. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price, but this one stands out for its combination of new build and relatively modest rent.
