A calm apartment in the L-buurt
This apartment on Leksmondhof sits in the L-buurt, a quiet residential pocket of Amsterdam's Nellestein district. The 69 m² home dates from 1979 and carries an A energy label, so it is an efficient place to live. The rent of €2,650 a month sits above the neighbourhood average of €2,500, which reflects the efficient label and the fact that only one rental is currently available here. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price, so this one is on the higher side for the area.
The L-buurt
The L-buurt is a compact neighbourhood with around 3,125 residents, and the housing stock is mostly flats. It is a mixed area: 55% of households are single people, while 22% are families with children, and the average household size is 1.7. The age spread is broad, with a notable share of residents aged 25 to 45. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here comes from the statistics. The area is part of the L-buurt neighbourhood, which is known for its green, orderly streets.
Life on the street
Daily errands are straightforward from here. The nearest primary school, Openbare Daltonschool Nellestein, is just around the corner, and a couple of other primaries are within a ten-minute walk. For groceries, an Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away, with an Aldi just beyond that. A larger supermarket is about a ten-minute walk, and the nearest GP practice is a similar distance. The train station is 3.3 km away, so commuting into the city centre takes a bit of planning. This part of Amsterdam is well served by the municipality of Amsterdam's wider network of schools and shops.

Frequently asked questions
About Leksmondhof 170, Amsterdam
Is €2,650 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €2,650 is above the neighbourhood average of €2,500 for rentals. The apartment is 69 m², which is smaller than the average rental of 95 m² in the area, so the price per square metre is higher than the neighbourhood norm. With an A energy label, the running costs should be modest, which is part of what the rent reflects.
How does the floor area compare to other rentals in the area?
At 69 m², this apartment is about 27% smaller than the average rental in the L-buurt, which comes in at 95 m². That means the price per square metre is noticeably higher than the neighbourhood average. The efficient energy label and the limited number of available rentals in the area help explain the premium.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient category on the official scale. This means the home is registered as having low expected energy costs, so heating and electricity bills should be on the lower side. The label is an official registration from EP-Online and reflects the property's overall energy performance.
How quickly do rentals go in this neighbourhood?
Rentals in the L-buurt are let on average within 17 days, according to recent figures. That gives a sense of the pace in the area. With only one rental currently available, the supply is very limited, which may explain the speed at which homes are taken.
What is the neighbourhood like in terms of demographics?
The L-buurt has about 3,125 residents, with a majority of single-person households at 55%. Families with children make up 22% of households, and the average household size is 1.7. The largest age group is 25 to 45-year-olds at 35%, while 20% are 65 or older, giving the area a mixed, settled feel.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 3.3 km from the apartment. That is a manageable distance for occasional trips, though daily commuting by train would involve a cycle or bus ride to the station. The neighbourhood itself is well served by local shops and schools within walking distance.
