A modern apartment on the NDSM terrein
This apartment on the Ms. Van Riemsdijkweg sits in the creative heart of Amsterdam's NDSM terrein, a former shipyard turned cultural hotspot. Built in 2020, it offers a fresh, contemporary living space with an A++ energy label, so running costs should stay pleasantly low. At €2,625 per month, the rent sits about 18% above the neighbourhood average of €2,221, which puts it on the high side for the area. For context, that premium reflects a home that is 26% smaller than the typical 77 m² rental here, so you are paying for the modern finish and the location. If you are weighing up options, it is worth comparing with other apartments in Amsterdam to see how the price per square metre stacks up.
The NDSM terrein neighbourhood
The NDSM terrein is a compact, energetic enclave with a strong creative identity, and the figures back that up. Of the 4,265 residents, 72% are between 25 and 45, and 72% of households are single-person, so this is very much a young, independent crowd. The housing stock is almost entirely rental, with just 6% owner-occupied, which keeps the area fluid and transient. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here comes from the data rather than personal accounts. The vibe is industrial-chic, with street art, studios and event spaces shaping daily life. For a broader sense of what this pocket of the city is like, the NDSM terrein neighbourhood page pulls together the key facts.
Life on the street
Daily errands are straightforward from here. The nearest supermarket, a PLUS, is just around the corner, with an Albert Heijn a ten-minute walk away, so fresh bread and groceries are never far. For families, there are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: Kindcentrum De Baanbreker and OBS Blijhaven, both, with Klein Amsterdam a bit further. The nearest GP practice is a couple of streets away, which is handy for quick appointments. The train station is 6.7 km off, so commuting by rail means a cycle or bus ride first. All of this sits within the municipality of Amsterdam, where the wider city's amenities are always within reach.

Frequently asked questions
About Ms. Van Riemsdijkweg 244, Amsterdam
Is €2,625 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is 18% above the neighbourhood average of €2,221, and the floor area of 57 m² is 26% smaller than the average of 77 m². That means you are paying a premium for the modern build and the NDSM location. Whether it feels fair depends on how much you value the 2020 construction and the A++ energy label, which keeps energy costs low.
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 very energy-efficient, so you can expect low heating and electricity costs. The label is an official registration, and it reflects the building's energy performance as certified. It is a strong indicator of a well-performing home in terms of energy use.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest supermarket is a PLUS at 954 metres, which is about a ten-minute walk. An Albert Heijn is at 1.4 km, and a Jumbo at 1.6 km, so you have several options within a short stroll or cycle. For daily groceries, the PLUS is the most convenient, and the others are close enough for a slightly longer trip.
What schools are nearby?
There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: Kindcentrum De Baanbreker and OBS Blijhaven, both at 482 metres. Klein Amsterdam is a bit further at 770 metres, and IKC NoordRijk is at 1 km. For secondary education, the nearest is 1.9 km away, so older children would need to travel a little further.
How far is the train station?
The nearest train station is 6.7 km from the apartment. That means you would need to cycle or take a bus to reach it, which is typical for this part of Amsterdam-Noord. The journey to the city centre is manageable, but it is not a station you can walk to in a few minutes.
What kind of neighbourhood is the NDSM terrein?
The NDSM terrein is a young, creative area with a strong industrial heritage. Of the 4,265 residents, 72% are aged 25 to 45, and 72% of households are single-person, so it attracts a dynamic, independent crowd. The housing stock is almost entirely rental, which keeps the area lively and transient. It is known for its street art, studios and cultural events.
