Frequently asked questions
About Kerkstraat 389-2, Amsterdam
Is €3,000 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €3,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €4,867 and the median of €3,750. However, the floor area of 66 m² is smaller than the average of 105 m², so the price per square metre is around €45, which is lower than the average of €55.76. Given the central location and the apartment's features, the rent appears in line with the market.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C, which is an official registration from EP-Online. It indicates a moderate level of energy efficiency, but the label alone does not tell you about the condition of the building or its installations. You can expect reasonable energy costs, but the actual amount will depend on your usage and the specific characteristics of the home.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 2.7 km away. This is a manageable distance for cycling or taking public transport, and the area is well connected. The exact travel time will depend on your mode of transport, but it is a straightforward journey from the apartment.
What are the nearby supermarkets?
There are several supermarkets within a short walk. The closest are two Albert Heijn stores at 224 and 241 metres, followed by a SPAR at 413 metres. For a quick bite, there is also an AH to go at 491 metres. This makes daily shopping very convenient, with options just around the corner.
Are there primary schools nearby?
Yes, there are several primary schools within walking distance. ASVO is the closest at 267 metres, followed by IKC De Kleine Reus at 536 metres and Dr. E. Boekmanschool at 747 metres. This is a practical advantage for families with young children, as the morning school run would be short.
How quickly do rental homes in this neighbourhood go?
Rental homes in the Amstelveldbuurt are let on average within 14 days, according to recent data. This suggests a steady demand for properties in the area. The current listing is one of three available rentals, with prices ranging from €3,350 to €7,500, so there is some variety for prospective tenants.

Experiences from Amsterdam
How residents experience their municipality
Een hele fijne, rustige buurt met veel groen en geweldige bomen die verkoeling en ontspanning bieden. 's nachts is het er stil en donker. Dat vind ik belangrijk voor de dieren. De buurt is goed bereikbaar met metro 54 en voorzieningen zijn op loopafstand in winkelcentrum de Poort. 1 ding is een ongelofelijke doorn in het oog en dat is de hygiene. Het is dagelijks een puinzoo bij de vuilcontainers. Zwerfafval waait overal naar toe. En hoewel we met een aantal bewoners dagelijks 'prikken' en opruimen is het een never ending story. Ik zou zo graag zien dat daar een oplossing voor komt.

Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, peaceful, relaxed, green, social and a nice mix of people
Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about 12 years. The neighbourhood has clear advantages: good connections by tram, bus and ferry/boat, plenty of supermarkets, gyms and practical amenities nearby. For me, however, there was one major drawback: structural low-frequency noise, demonstrably coming from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. If you are sensitive to that, it can be very burdensome. In my case, it was clearly noticeable indoors, especially at night. Neighbours said they slept with earplugs and extra insulation offered limited to no solution. The municipality took measurements at the time and acknowledged that the noise was significant, but indicated they could do little or nothing about it because the source fell outside their direct authority. My honest advice: visit this neighbourhood not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night, and pay specific attention to low-frequency humming or vibrations. For people sensitive to noise, I would personally strongly advise against this location.

Auto-translated to English by AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the end of the Silodam lies the striking MVRDV building. Surrounded by water on all sides. Every apartment has a view of the IJ and/or the Oude Houthaven. The views are therefore phenomenal and every day is different due to the weather. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable. Because the building is at the end of the Silodam, there is no through traffic and every person is either a resident or a visitor. This makes it, by Amsterdam standards, an exceptionally safe living environment. There is little turnover. The residents of this building form a close-knit community. A nice mix of families with and without children and single people who help each other where needed. And that too is a special quality in an increasingly transient Amsterdam. Within walking distance are the Haarlemmerdijk and the markets where you can find all the hustle and bustle if you feel like it. On the Silodam there is peace and quiet, a delight for body and mind. The wind, the seagulls, the waves on the IJ, the boats, occasionally a cruise ship, and every 5 years Sail! A little paradise in Amsterdam? Absolutely!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
