Overtoomse Veld-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Marius Bauerstraat sits in Overtoomse Veld-Zuid, a neighbourhood that blends greenery with urban convenience. At 76 m² it's well above the local average, and the rent of €1,850 is 33% higher than the neighbourhood average of €1,396, so you're paying a premium for the extra space and an A energy label. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one stands out for its size and efficiency.
Based on one review, the Overtoomse Veld-Zuid neighbourhood gets a mixed but fair score of 6.6. One resident says: "I live in Nieuw-West in Amsterdam. It doesn't have a very good reputation, which is partly justified but partly not so bad. Yes, every now and then you hear an explosion, which certainly isn't pleasant, but when you walk through the neighbourhood there's also a lot of diversity and I almost never feel unsafe (though that doesn't say much as a 1.90m man). Furthermore, it can be very cosy and there's a lot of greenery in the area, which is also very nice. The buildings are ugly, but I can live with that. The street is also very dirty, because apparently nobody cares about nature and the streetscape, so everything gets thrown on the street. In terms of amenities, there's enough, but if I need clothes, for example, I have to go to the city centre, so that's why it's not rated very high but still sufficient. The city centre is (by Amsterdam standards) fortunately not very far to cycle and there's also a train station nearby and the metro goes there too." The area has a young, diverse population, many single-person households and people aged 25-45, and a high address density of 5,906 per km², typical of a very strongly urban setting.
For your morning bread, Lidl is on your doorstep and Albert Heijn is just around the corner. Primary school OBS de Toekomst is also on your doorstep, and several special education schools are a couple of streets away. The neighbourhood has a GP practice, a restaurant, and a park all within a five-minute walk, and the train station is a ten-minute walk away. The municipality of Amsterdam offers all the cultural and shopping options you'd expect from a major city, though for clothes you might need to head to the centre.
At the time of writing, this apartment is listed through several channels, including Huis Zelf Verhuren and Huis Zelf Verhuren. The listing is current, but availability can change quickly, homes in this neighbourhood are typically rented within 20 days.
