A modern apartment in Oostenburg
This brand-new apartment on the Willem Parelstraat sits in the up-and-coming Oostenburg neighbourhood of Amsterdam. With an energy label A+++, it is exceptionally efficient and sustainable. The 126 m² floor area was spacious, and the last known rent of €3,850 was on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, partly because of the size and quality. For context, this is one of the larger apartments in Amsterdam available. This home has not been online since 9 September 2026.
The neighbourhood: Oostenburg
