Veemkade 478
Oostelijke Handelskade, Amsterdam
AreaA waterside apartment in Amsterdam
This apartment on the Veemkade sits right on the water in the Oostelijke Handelskade, a part of Amsterdam where the old harbour has been turned into a calm, modern place to live. With 127 square metres spread over one level, it feels spacious and light, and the 2005 build means the layout is contemporary. The rent of €2,025 a month sits about 11 percent below the neighbourhood average of €2,270, so it is keenly priced for what is on offer. For context, that is a competitive rate compared with other apartments in Amsterdam.
The Oostelijke Handelskade neighbourhood
The Oostelijke Handelskade neighbourhood is a former docklands area that has been redeveloped into a residential district with a distinctly modern feel. The population is young, with nearly half of residents aged between 25 and 45, and most households are single people or couples without children. It is a quiet, orderly part of the city, where the water is never far away and the streets are lined with contemporary apartment blocks. The mix of ages is fairly even across the rest, with a small share of families and older residents. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here comes from the official statistics.
Life on the street
The daily routine here is well catered for. For groceries, the nearest Jumbo is a couple of streets away, with an Albert Heijn just beyond it, and a Vomar a short walk further. For school runs, the Piet Hein primary school is just around the corner, while the Alan Turingschool and Basisschool Oostelijke Eilanden are both within a ten-minute walk. Secondary options include the Montessori Lyceum Pax, also about a ten-minute walk away. The wider area falls under the municipality of Amsterdam, which means all the city's amenities are within easy reach.

It is a keen price for a waterside apartment of this size.

How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 1.8 kilometres away. That is a manageable distance for those who commute by rail, though it is not right on the doorstep. The area is well served by other transport options as part of the wider city network.
