Henri Polaklaan 13B2
Plantage, Amsterdam
AreaA classic Amsterdam apartment on Henri Polaklaan
This apartment sits on Henri Polaklaan, a street that runs along the edge of the Plantage, one of Amsterdam's most atmospheric corners. The building dates from 1858, so you are looking at a piece of the city's history, with the energy label A a modern touch. At €3,250 a month, the rent sits well above the neighbourhood average of €2,317, which makes sense given the size and the setting. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one is clearly at the upper end.
The Plantage neighbourhood
The Plantage is a green, cultured part of the city, with the Artis zoo and the botanical gardens nearby. It is a quiet, leafy area that feels a world away from the busier streets of central Amsterdam. The neighbourhood is home to a mix of ages, with a notable share of older residents and a large number of single-person households. There are no resident reviews available for this area, so the picture here comes from the data. The Plantage neighbourhood is a distinctive pocket of the city, and this street puts you right in the middle of it.
Life on the street
Daily life here is well catered for. A SPAR is just around the corner for quick groceries, and an Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away, so the essentials are never far. For families, the Dr. E. Boekmanschool is a couple of streets away, and the Alan Turingschool is a ten-minute walk. The nearest secondary school, the Metis Montessori Lyceum, is also within a ten-minute walk. The train station is about two kilometres away, which is manageable for a commute into the centre or further afield. The municipality of Amsterdam offers all the cultural and practical amenities you could want, and this location puts them within easy reach.

Frequently asked questions
About Henri Polaklaan 13B2, Amsterdam
Is €3,250 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is 40% above the neighbourhood average of €2,317, and the floor area of 62 m² is 30% smaller than the average of 89 m². That puts the price per square metre well above the local norm. The energy label A and the classic 1858 building are part of the picture, but the rent is clearly on the high side for the area.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient label on the scale. That means the home is officially registered as very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low heating costs compared with less efficient labels. The label is an official registration and does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 1.9 kilometres from the home. That is a manageable distance for a commute, though it is not right on the doorstep. You would likely cycle or take a short bus ride to get there, depending on your preference.
