A bright apartment on IJburglaan
This apartment on IJburglaan sits in Rieteilanden-West, one of the IJburg islands in Amsterdam. Built in 2007, it has an A+ energy label and 113 m² of living space. The rent of €2,195 a month is well below the neighbourhood average, which is partly because the home is smaller than the typical rental here. For context, apartments in Amsterdam in this price range are not common.
Rieteilanden-West: a mixed, green island
Rieteilanden-West is a neighbourhood with a mix of backgrounds and age groups. One resident describes it as "very divided," but also notes the "beautiful nature and plenty of sports and play facilities." The same resident mentions that it is "harder to reach because of tram 26," which is a fair point given the island's location. Based on this single review, the picture is mixed: green and active, but not the easiest to get to. The area has a high share of households with children, and the average household size is 2.6 people. The Rieteilanden-West neighbourhood is a relatively young part of Amsterdam.
Daily life around IJburglaan
For daily shopping, the Dekamarkt is just around the corner, and the Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within a short walk, including the Willibrordschool and De Poseidon, both about 400 to 550 metres from the door. Secondary education is available at the Montessori Lyceum Terra Nova, also within walking distance. The nearest train station is 6 km away, so the tram is the main way to get into the city. The municipality of Amsterdam provides the usual urban amenities, with 28 supermarkets within 5 km.

Frequently asked questions
About IJburglaan 1008, Amsterdam
Is €2,195 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is 47% below the neighbourhood average of €4,110, but the apartment is also 33% smaller than the average rental (113 m² versus 169 m²). With only five rentals currently available in Rieteilanden-West, the market is thin. The price is keen compared with the average, though the size difference explains part of the gap.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A+, which is the most efficient category. This means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs. The label is an official registration, so it reflects the property's energy performance as recorded.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 6 km away. That is a bit of a distance, so the tram (line 26) is the more practical option for getting into the city centre. The neighbourhood review specifically mentions that the area is harder to reach because of tram 26, so it is worth factoring that into your commute.
