A rental on Prinseneiland
This apartment on Prinseneiland sits in the Westelijke eilanden, a quiet corner of Amsterdam with water on three sides. The listing does not state an energy label, so the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €1,670 a month, the rent sits well below the neighbourhood average of €2,750, though the 46 m² floor area is also far smaller than the typical 147 m² here. For context, apartments in Amsterdam give a sense of what else is available across the city.
The Westelijke eilanden
The Westelijke eilanden neighbourhood is a small, tight-knit community of about 2,900 residents. Most households are single people, and the age spread is broad, with a noticeable share of older residents. One resident sums it up simply: "very nice neighbourhood." The streets are quiet, the canals are calm, and the pace feels a world away from the busier parts of Amsterdam, even though the centre is not far.
Life on the street
Daily life here is easy. For groceries, Ekoplaza is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away, with a Jumbo a bit further out. For school runs, Montessori Basisschool de Eilanden is a couple of streets away, and Vinse School for secondary education is a five-minute walk. The area is part of the municipality of Amsterdam, so everything the city offers is within reach.
