A modern apartment on Solitudolaan
This apartment on Solitudolaan in Amsterdam is a recent addition to the Weespertrekvaart area, built in 2019 and finished to a high standard. With 85 square metres of living space, it feels spacious and bright, and the energy label A means it is very efficient to run. The rent of €2,155 a month sits 21% above the neighbourhood average of €1,780, which reflects the larger floor area and the modern build. For context, apartments in Amsterdam in this price range tend to be smaller, so you are paying for the extra space.
The Weespertrekvaart neighbourhood
The Weespertrekvaart neighbourhood is a young, developing part of Amsterdam, with a mix of new housing and older industrial buildings being converted. The population is predominantly made up of people in their twenties and thirties, and most households are single people, which gives the area a lively, urban feel. One resident, who has lived here for less than six months, says: "I've lived here for less than six months and had high expectations, unfortunately they haven't been met and I feel unsafe in the neighbourhood." That is a single review, so it is one perspective rather than a general picture. The area is densely built, with a high address density, and the train station is three kilometres away.
Life on the street
For daily errands, the nearest supermarket is an AH to go just around the corner, with an Aldi a couple of streets away and a full Albert Heijn within a ten-minute walk. Montessorischool de Amstel is on your doorstep for primary education, and there are several secondary schools within a short walk, including Daltonschool Spinoza20first and Pieter Nieuwland College. A restaurant is just around the corner, and a park or green space is a ten-minute walk away. The municipality of Amsterdam offers a wide range of amenities, though the nearest GP and large supermarket are a bit further out, around two kilometres.
