A pre-war apartment on Javastraat
This apartment on Javastraat in the Timorpleinbuurt-Zuid sits in a lively part of Amsterdam's Indische Buurt. The listing does not state an energy label, so the rest of this page focuses on the street and the neighbourhood rather than the home's efficiency. At €2,400 per month, the rent sits 23% above the neighbourhood average of €1,949, which puts it on the high side for the area. For context, apartments in Amsterdam in this price range tend to be larger, so the 49 m² floor area is a factor to weigh.
The Timorpleinbuurt-Zuid neighbourhood
The Timorpleinbuurt-Zuid neighbourhood is a compact, densely populated corner of the Indische Buurt, with 4,365 residents. The population skews young, with 45% aged 25 to 45, and 58% of households are single-person, so the vibe is more about young professionals than families. The housing stock is mostly rental, with 31% owner-occupied, and the area has a mix of pre-war buildings and newer infill. It is a busy, urban pocket where life happens on the street, with cafes and shops woven into the residential blocks.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy from here. An Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a Lidl is a couple of streets away, so groceries are never far. For school runs, De Indische Buurt School is on your doorstep, and the Bataviaschool is just beyond, both primary options. Secondary schooling is a bit further, with Havo De Hof. The area falls under the municipality of Amsterdam, which means the usual city services and public transport connections are within reach.

Frequently asked questions
About Javastraat 66-1, Amsterdam
Is €2,400 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is 23% above the neighbourhood average of €1,949, and the floor area of 49 m² is 35% smaller than the average of 75 m². That puts the price per square metre well above the local norm, so it is on the high side for what is available in the Timorpleinbuurt-Zuid. The location on Javastraat and the pre-war character may justify some of that, but the figures suggest you are paying a premium.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 0.5 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it feasible to commute to other parts of Amsterdam or further afield without relying on a car. The exact station is not named in the listing, but the distance is given.
What is the neighbourhood like for young professionals?
The Timorpleinbuurt-Zuid is heavily skewed towards younger residents, with 45% aged 25 to 45 and 58% of households being single-person. That suggests a lively, urban atmosphere with plenty of cafes and shops nearby. The housing stock is mostly rental, which fits a transient, professional crowd. It is a dense, busy area rather than a quiet suburban one.
Are there good schools nearby?
Yes, there are several primary schools within a short walk. De Indische Buurt School is 182 metres away, and the Bataviaschool is 208 metres away. For secondary education, Havo De Hof is 467 metres away. The area has a good selection of schools, which is useful if you have children or are planning a family.
How does the rent compare to other rentals in the area?
The average rent in the neighbourhood is €1,949, with a median of €2,125. This apartment at €2,400 is above both, and the price per square metre is higher than the average of €28.21. Only a few rentals are currently available, so the market is thin, but this listing is clearly at the upper end of the range.
