A classic Amsterdam apartment on Vespuccistraat
This rental home sits on Vespuccistraat in the Balboaplein e.o. neighbourhood, a lively pocket of Amsterdam where the streets are full of everyday life. The listing did not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €1,375 per month, the rent sat well below the neighbourhood average of €3,286, which put it on the low side compared with other apartments in Amsterdam. This home has not been online since 1 November 2026.
Balboaplein e.o.
Based on two reviews, this is a neighbourhood with a mixed character. One resident calls it a "reasonably cosy neighbourhood", noting that "there are many shops in the neighbourhood, where you can get almost everything" and that "there is little to no noise pollution, and I always feel safe, even in the evenings". Another describes it as "lively", adding that "everything is within reach" and that "with public transport you can be in the centre of Amsterdam within a short time". The same resident notes it "may be less suitable for families with young children due to the hustle and bustle". Most households here are single people, and the area is densely built with flats. The Balboaplein e.o. neighbourhood is home to around 3,000 residents.
