Wittenburg, Amsterdam
AreaA bright apartment on Wittenburg
This rental home sits on Jacob Burggraafstraat, in the heart of Wittenburg, one of Amsterdam's eastern islands. It's a calm, waterside part of town where the streets feel a little more open and the pace is a notch slower than the city centre. For context, that's 32% more floor space than the neighbourhood average of 75 m², which makes it a sensible option if you're after room to spread out. The apartment is one of the apartments in Amsterdam currently on the rental market. This home has not been online since 15 October 2026.
