Ottho Heldringstraat 35W
Staalmanbuurt, Amsterdam
AreaA calm, green corner of Amsterdam
This apartment on Ottho Heldringstraat sits in the Staalmanbuurt, a pocket of Slotervaart-Zuid where the city feels a little softer. Trees line the streets, and the square nearby is the kind of place where children play and neighbours stop to talk. At 102 m², the floor area is 52% larger than the neighbourhood average of 67 m², which makes the space feel generous for a rental. The asking rent of €1,850 is above the average of €1,690 for rentals in the area, so it sits on the higher side of the local market. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price, and this one reflects its size and a 2010 build with an A energy label.
The Staalmanbuurt
Based on two reviews, residents describe the Staalmanbuurt neighbourhood warmly. One resident says: "I think my neighbourhood is so beautiful because it is a place where everything comes together: peace, cosiness, and life." Another calls it "a real family neighbourhood," noting it is safe and pleasant with plenty of greenery just beyond the streets, though they add that rubbish can sometimes be left out on the wrong days. The area is home to many families, with a mix of ages and a fair number of single-person households too. It feels lived-in and sociable, the kind of place where people greet each other on the street.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy from here. A Lidl is just around the corner for groceries, and an Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away, so you have options for the weekly shop. For school runs, the Einsteinschool is on your doorstep for primary education, and Lumion secondary school is just around the corner as well. The wider area, part of the municipality of Amsterdam, has plenty of amenities within reach, including a GP practice and a childcare centre nearby. The train station is 2.2 km away, which is manageable for occasional trips into the centre.
