A modern apartment on John Blankensteinstraat
This bright apartment on John Blankensteinstraat 167B sits in the Sportheldenbuurt, a young part of Amsterdam where the streets feel open and the buildings are recent. Built in 2020, it comes with an A energy label, so it is an efficient home to run. The 114 m² floor area is 36% larger than the neighbourhood average of 84 m², which makes it a generous size for a rental. At €2,750 per month, the rent sat above the average of €2,435 for rentals here, so it was on the high side, but you were paying for the extra space and the modern finish. For context, apartments in Amsterdam in this price range were not unusual. This home has not been online since 16 September 2026.
