Westerdokseiland, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis rental apartment on Westerdok sits on one of Amsterdam's most iconic waterfronts, with the city centre just a short walk away. At 133 m², it's a generous size for a city apartment, and the A+ energy label means it's efficient too. The asking price of €4,250 is on the high side compared to other rentals in the neighbourhood, but the extra space and modern finish help explain it. For context, this is one of the larger apartments in Amsterdam currently available.
Westerdokseiland is a modern island neighbourhood built on former harbour land, with a mix of contemporary apartments and waterside living.
