KNSM-laan 38
KNSM-eiland, Amsterdam
AreaA waterfront home on KNSM-eiland
This apartment on KNSM-laan 38 sits on KNSM-eiland, a former harbour island in Amsterdam's Oostelijk Havengebied that has been transformed into a striking residential area. The wide streets, modern architecture and open water give the island a spacious feel that is rare this close to the city centre. With a living area of 115 m², this home is 28% larger than the neighbourhood average of 90 m². The last known asking price of €650,000 worked out at €5,652 per m², which was on the high side compared with the average of €9,036 per m² for apartments in Amsterdam. This home has not been online since 15 October 2026.
The apartment itself
Built in 2001, this apartment carried an A+ energy label, an efficient label that only 5% of the homes at the time for sale in the neighbourhood had. The listing did not state the number of rooms, bedrooms or bathrooms, nor did it mention any outdoor space or installations. The floor area of 115 m² came from the BAG registration; the agent did not list a separate figure.
Life on the island
Residents of the wider district give their area an average score of 7.48, based on seven reviews. One resident describes the special layout and architecture: "It's almost as if you're walking through an open-air museum. Each street has its own character." Another appreciates the quiet and green environment: "Despite being in Amsterdam, it feels spacious and calm here. The streets are wide, there are many trees." A third resident notes that the first batch of residents is heading towards 60 and older, and that the neighbourhood is diverse, "from rental to owner-occupied". The same resident mentions that public transport is only available via the Veelaan, and that there is often shouting and yelling on the cycle path at the weekend. The district counts 2,340 inhabitants, of whom 35% are between 45 and 65 years old. These reviews describe the wider district rather than the KNSM-eiland neighbourhood specifically.
