A rental on the Overtoom
This rental home on the Overtoom sits in the WG-terrein, a pocket of Amsterdam with a distinct character. This listing does not state a house number, postcode, property type, floor area, year of construction or energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €2,750 a month, the rent sits 26% below the neighbourhood average of €3,730, which puts it on the keen side compared with other rental homes in Amsterdam.
The WG-terrein neighbourhood
The WG-terrein neighbourhood is home to around 2,550 people, and the figures show a mix of ages, with a notable share of residents over 65 and a large number of single-person households. Based on two reviews, the picture is mixed. One resident says: "Nice people but dirty place and stench of exhaust gases, very busy and noisy." Another says: "School and the facilities are pleasant and I feel at ease when I walk around." So you get a lively, busy area where some find the noise and traffic a drawback, while others appreciate the practical side.
Life on the street
For daily shopping, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with a Jumbo a couple of streets away and a Lidl. For schools, Huygens College for secondary education is a five-minute walk, and the Cornelis Vrijschool for primary education is. The area is well served for everyday errands, and the wider municipality of Amsterdam adds plenty more within easy reach.
