A modern apartment in Duivendrecht
This is a modern apartment on Meteoor, a street in Duivendrecht, a village that feels a world away from the city bustle yet sits between Amsterdam and Diemen. Built in 2019, the home has an energy label A, which means it is very efficient to run. At €1,600 per month, the rent is well below the average of €3,475 for the few rentals currently available in the neighbourhood, so it is keenly priced. For context, apartments in Ouder-Amstel typically command higher rents.
The Duivendrecht neighbourhood
One resident describes Duivendrecht as "a village between cities," and that sums it up well. The review, based on a single response, paints a picture of a close-knit community where many people grew up and know each other. "There is a sense of togetherness and often a chat is made with neighbours on the village square," the resident notes. It is a child-friendly place, though not one for late-night parties, as most residents work or have young children. The village has a supermarket, chemist, tobacconist and eateries, and for bigger shopping trips, residents head to nearby centres like Amsterdamse Poort or Diemen Centrum. The Duivendrecht neighbourhood is home to around 5,600 people, with a mix of ages and a strong family presence.
Life on the street
For daily errands, the PLUS supermarket is just around the corner, making a quick bread run easy. Two primary schools, the A. Bekemaschool and Openbare Basisschool De Grote Beer, are both on your doorstep, so the school run is a short stroll. A couple of streets away, there is a child daycare centre, and the nearest secondary school is about a ten-minute walk. The train station is about 1.8 km away, and a metro stop is nearby, so getting around is straightforward. The municipality of Ouder-Amstel offers a quiet, village-like setting with city connections close at hand.
