Grasweg 596
Buiksloterham-Zuid, Amsterdam
AreaA new-build apartment on Grasweg
This brand-new apartment on Grasweg sits in Buiksloterham-Zuid, a young part of Amsterdam that is still taking shape. The building went up in 2025 and carries an A+++ energy label, so it is about as efficient as homes get right now. At €1,545 per month, the rent sits well below the neighbourhood average of €2,634, though the 47 m² floor area is considerably smaller than the local norm. For context, that price is 41% below the average for apartments in Amsterdam.
The Buiksloterham-Zuid neighbourhood
Buiksloterham-Zuid is a new district, and the two residents who have reviewed it are clearly fond of it. One says: "I've been living on Hetty Blokstraat for 2 years now. And I think it's a great neighbourhood. With nice people and beautiful energy-efficient houses." Another simply calls it a "lovely neighbourhood". Both mention the public transport as a weak point, though the first reviewer expects that to improve as the area matures. The neighbourhood is home to around 2,000 people, with a young profile: 55% are between 25 and 45, and 52% of households are single-person. It is a place in transition, and the reviews reflect that optimism. That sense of a community finding its feet comes through in the Buiksloterham-Zuid neighbourhood.
Life on the street
The nearest supermarket, a Vomar, is just over a kilometre away, with an Albert Heijn a similar distance in the other direction. For daily bread and groceries, you would head out a short way rather than popping downstairs. Primary schools are closer: Kindcentrum De Baanbreker and OBS Blijhaven are both about 450 metres from the door, and Dalton Kind Centrum De IJsbreker is a little further. The nearest GP practice is 400 metres away, and a childcare centre is 500 metres. The train station is 5.3 km off, so commuting by rail means a cycle or bus ride first. All of this sits within the municipality of Amsterdam.

Frequently asked questions
About Grasweg 596, Amsterdam
Is €1,545 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is 41% below the neighbourhood average of €2,634, which makes it keenly priced for the area. However, the 47 m² floor area is 73% smaller than the average of 174 m² in Buiksloterham-Zuid. So you are paying well under the local norm, but for a considerably more compact home. The rent reflects that trade-off.
What does the A+++ energy label mean for this home?
An A+++ label is the highest rating on the energy scale, meaning the home is extremely efficient. For a new-build apartment from 2025, that is what you would expect. In practical terms, heating and electricity costs should be low, though the exact amount depends on your usage. The label is an official registration, so it is a reliable indicator of efficiency.
How big is this apartment?
The floor area is 47 m², which is compact. The listing does not state how many rooms it has, so the layout is not specified. For a single person or a couple, this size is workable, but it is worth noting that the average home in the neighbourhood is 174 m², so this is on the smaller side for the area.
What is the neighbourhood like to live in?
Residents describe Buiksloterham-Zuid as a great place with nice people and beautiful energy-efficient houses. One reviewer has lived there for two years and says they do not plan to leave. The main drawback mentioned is public transport, which is not great at the moment, though the same reviewer expects that to improve as the new district develops.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The closest supermarket is a Vomar at about 1.1 km away, with an Albert Heijn at 1.15 km and another at 1.3 km. A Jumbo is at 1.36 km. For daily groceries, you would be walking around ten to fifteen minutes, or cycling a few minutes. It is not on your doorstep, but there are several options within a short trip.
Are there schools nearby?
Yes, there are primary schools within walking distance. Kindcentrum De Baanbreker and OBS Blijhaven are both about 470 metres away, and Dalton Kind Centrum De IJsbreker is at 650 metres. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 1.1 km off. A childcare centre is at 500 metres, which is handy for families with young children.
How is the public transport connection?
The nearest train station is 5.3 km away, so rail travel requires a cycle or bus ride first. Residents note that public transport connections are not great at the moment, though they expect this to change as the district is still new. For getting around Amsterdam itself, you would likely rely on cycling, which is well suited to the city.
