A bright apartment on Matterhorn
This rental apartment on Matterhorn sits in the Alpen Rondwegbuurt, a leafy corner of Amstelveen where the streets are named after mountains. With 113 m² of living space, it is a comfortable size for a couple or a small family. The rent of €1,995 per month is on the high side compared with the neighbourhood average, though the floor area is 28% smaller than the typical home here. For context, apartments in Amstelveen currently rent for an average of €4,000 per month, so this one is relatively affordable.
The Alpen Rondwegbuurt
The Alpen Rondwegbuurt neighbourhood is a quiet, established area with a mix of ages: about a fifth of residents are over 65, while a similar share are children. Most households are families with kids, and the average household size is 2.2 people. The housing stock is mostly owner-occupied, with only 17% rented out. There are no resident reviews available yet, so the picture here comes from the statistics. It feels like a settled, family-oriented part of Amstelveen, with green spaces and wide streets.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy from here. The Jumbo is just around the corner, with a Lidl a couple of streets away and an Albert Heijn a five-minute walk. For schools, three primary options are within a ten-minute walk, including de Horizon and Reformatorische Basisschool De Akker, both about 567 metres away. Secondary schooling is a bit further, with Hermann Wesselink College. The nearest train station is 6.8 km away, so a car or bus is handy for longer trips. The municipality of Amstelveen offers good amenities across the town.

Frequently asked questions
About Matterhorn 17, Amstelveen
Is €1,995 per month a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is below the neighbourhood average of €4,000 per month, but the floor area of 113 m² is 28% smaller than the average of 158 m². So you are paying less for a smaller home. Whether it is fair depends on how you value the location and the energy label A, which keeps running costs down.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient category. This means the home is well placed for low energy costs, though the label itself is an official registration and does not guarantee the condition of the building. It is a good sign for monthly bills.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 6.8 km away. That is a reasonable distance for occasional trips, but for daily commuting you would likely rely on a car or bus. The neighbourhood is well served by local roads, and Amstelveen has good connections to Amsterdam.
What supermarkets are nearby?
There are several supermarkets within a short walk. The Jumbo is 274 metres away, the Lidl is 291 metres, and the Albert Heijn is 336 metres. For a wider choice, the PLUS is 738 metres and a SPAR express is 768 metres. Daily shopping is very convenient.
What schools are close to this apartment?
For primary education, de Horizon and Reformatorische Basisschool De Akker are both about 567 metres away, with Vrije Basisschool Parcival at 568 metres and Montessorischool De Linde at 614 metres. For secondary education, Hermann Wesselink College is 787 metres away. All are within a comfortable walking distance.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
The Alpen Rondwegbuurt has a strong family character: 42% of households have children, and the average household size is 2.2. There is a mix of ages, with a fifth of residents over 65, so it is not exclusively young families. The area is quiet and residential, with most homes owner-occupied.
