A calm apartment in the Betsy Perkbuurt
This apartment on the Rosa Spierlaan sits in a quiet part of Amstelveen, where the streets are green and the pace is relaxed. The home itself was a 72 m² apartment from 1991 with an energy label B, and it was offered for rent at €2,500 per month. That rent sat about 11% below the neighbourhood average of €2,803, so it was keenly priced for the area. For context, the wider market here included apartments in Amstelveen, where rented typically range from around €1,995 to €3,250. This home has not been online since 26 October 2026.

Frequently asked questions
About Rosa Spierlaan 264, Amstelveen
Was €2,500 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €2,500 was about 11% below the average rent in the Betsy Perkbuurt, which stood at €2,803. The median rent in the neighbourhood was €2,650, so this apartment was priced below both figures.

Overall, the rent was on the lower side for the area.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B. This is an official registration, recorded in the national energy label database. A B label indicated a reasonably efficient home, though the exact energy costs would depend on your usage and the current energy prices. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself, only its energy performance classification.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is about 9 km away. That means you would need to travel a bit to reach the rail network, likely by car or bus. The listing did not specify which station this was, only the distance. For daily commuting, you might rely more on local bus connections or cycling within Amstelveen itself.
What supermarkets are nearby?
There are two supermarkets within about 500 metres: an Albert Heijn and a Vomar, both roughly a five-minute walk from the apartment. A second Albert Heijn is about 700 metres away, and there are more options within a couple of kilometres, including another Albert Heijn and a Coop. That gives you plenty of choice for daily groceries without needing to travel far.
