Jacob Burggraafstraat 174
Wittenburg, Amsterdam
AreaA bright apartment on Wittenburg
This rental home sits on Jacob Burggraafstraat in Wittenburg, one of the three Oostelijke Eilanden in Amsterdam. It is a calm, waterside part of the city with a village-like feel, yet the centre is never far away. The apartment itself is a modern build from 2004 with an A+ energy label, so it is very efficient to run. At 99 m², it is 32% larger than the average rental in the neighbourhood, which typically comes in at 75 m². With a monthly last known rent of €2,500, the price was on the high side compared with the local average of €636, though that figure reflected a much smaller and very different segment of the market. For context, this was one of the [apartments in Amsterdam] at the time available to rent. This home has not been online since 15 October 2026.
