KNSM-eiland, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Venetiëhof sits on one of Amsterdam's most distinctive peninsulas, where wide streets and modern architecture meet the water. At €2,650 per month, the rent is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €2,540, but the 98 m² floor area is also a touch larger than the typical 94 m², so the price per square metre is in line with what other apartments in Amsterdam go for.
KNSM-eiland is a planned island neighbourhood with a strong, self-contained feel. The population of 2,340 is a mix of ages, with many 45-to-65-year-olds and a fair number of over-65s. It's a place where people tend to stay a while: homes here are rented out in an average of 14 days, which points to a steady market. One resident sums it up: "It's quiet but you're never far from the city." Another says: "The waterfront promenade is my favourite spot, it feels like a holiday every day." The neighbourhood KNSM-eiland has a very high density of addresses, so you're surrounded by neighbours, but the wide layout keeps it from feeling cramped.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: Basisschool De Achthoek is a five-minute walk, and Montessorischool Op de Kade is about ten minutes away. For secondary education, Montessori Lyceum Pax is also a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and dining options you'd expect, with a restaurant right on your doorstep.
