Jacob Burggraafstraat 178
Wittenburg, Amsterdam
AreaA bright apartment on Wittenburg
This apartment on Jacob Burggraafstraat sits in Wittenburg, one of the quieter islands in Amsterdam's eastern docklands. With 110 m² of living space, it is 47% larger than the neighbourhood average of 75 m², which makes it feel unusually spacious for a rental. The energy label was A+, so running costs should stay modest. At €1,395 per month, the rent was on the high side compared with the average of €636 in the area, but the size and efficiency explain much of that. For context, this was one of the apartments in Amsterdam at the time on the market. This home has not been online since 15 October 2026.

A third notes: "The neighbourhood here is nice and child-friendly, there are 2 playgrounds nearby and they are big." Based on three reviews, the overall score is 6.57 out of 10. The island is densely built, with mostly flats and a high proportion of single-person households, so it has a lively, urban rhythm. For more detail, see the Wittenburg neighbourhood.

Frequently asked questions
About Jacob Burggraafstraat 178, Amsterdam

The rent was €1,395 per month for 110 m², which was 47% larger than the neighbourhood average of 75 m². The average rent in Wittenburg was €636, but that figure was based on a single listing and did not reflect the size or energy efficiency of this home. Given the generous floor area and the A+ label, the price was on the high side compared with the local average.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A+, which is the most efficient category. This meant the home was designed to keep energy consumption low, so heating and electricity costs should be relatively modest. The label is an official registration and does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
