A 1930s apartment on Sassenheimstraat
This rental home sits on Sassenheimstraat in the Aalsmeerwegbuurt-Oost, a quiet pocket of Amsterdam’s Hoofddorppleinbuurt. The listing does not state an energy label, so the rest of this page focuses on the street and the neighbourhood rather than the home’s performance. At €2,600 per month for 53 m², the price is on the high side compared with the neighbourhood average of €3,150 for 203 m², though that average is based on a single listing. For context, this flat is 74% smaller than the neighbourhood average. See apartments in Amsterdam for more options.

Frequently asked questions
About Sassenheimstraat 40H, Amsterdam
Is €2,600 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking rent is €2,600 per month for 53 m². In the Aalsmeerwegbuurt-Oost, the average rent is €3,150 per month, but that is based on just one listing, so it’s not a strong benchmark. At €49 per m², this flat is priced above the neighbourhood average of €15.52 per m², though that average is skewed by a much larger property. Given the size and location, the rent is on the high side.
What is the energy label for this home?
The agent has not published this information, so it’s not possible to say how efficient the home is. The year of construction is 1930, but that alone doesn’t determine the label. You would need to ask the agent for the official label.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
An Albert Heijn is just 105 metres away, so you can pop out for groceries in under a minute. A Dirk and another Albert Heijn are both 456 metres away, and a Lidl is 569 metres. That’s a couple of streets away, so you have several options within a short walk.
What schools are nearby?
The Tobiasschool VMBO is 139 metres away, and Kindcentrum De Leertuin is 382 metres. Brede school Fiep Westendorp is 669 metres, and the Montessori Lyceum Oostpoort ISK is 715 metres. For primary education, the nearest is 0.9 km, and for secondary, 0.4 km. So there are several schools within a short walk or cycle.
Is the neighbourhood family-friendly?
The Aalsmeerwegbuurt-Oost has a mix of ages: 10% are under 15, and 17% of households have children. Over half of households are single-person, so it’s not a predominantly family area, but there are families here. The presence of schools and a child daycare within 0.2 km suggests it’s a practical place for those with young children.
How is public transport from this home?
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away, which is a short cycle or a bus ride. The listing doesn’t specify bus lines, but the area is well-connected within Amsterdam. For daily commuting, you’d likely rely on a bike or bus to reach the station.
