Willem Parelstraat 400

A modern apartment in Amsterdam's Oostenburg

This brand-new apartment on Willem Parelstraat sits in the up-and-coming Oostenburg neighbourhood, part of the Oostelijke Eilanden. With an energy label A+++, it's as efficient as they come. At €3,850 per month, the rent is on the high side, 59% above the neighbourhood average, but you're getting a spacious 131 m², which is 77% larger than the typical rental in the area. For context, that's a premium for size and newness compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.

The neighbourhood: Oostenburg

Oostenburg is a small, densely populated island neighbourhood with a very strong urban feel (over 6,400 addresses per km²). It's mostly young adults, nearly 60% of residents are between 25 and 45, and many live alone (average household size is 1.5). Families with children are few, so the vibe is lively and city-focused. There are no resident reviews available for this area, but the numbers paint a picture of a dynamic, central spot. The neighbourhood Oostenburg is part of Amsterdam's historic eastern islands, with a mix of old warehouses turned into lofts and new-build projects like this one.

Life on the street

Your daily routine is well covered here. For groceries, Vomar is just around the corner, SPAR express is a couple of streets away, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. There are two primary schools within a short stroll: Basisschool Oostelijke Eilanden (just around the corner) and Alan Turingschool (a couple of streets away). For secondary education, Montessori Lyceum Pax is a ten-minute walk. The area is part of the municipality Amsterdam, so you have all the city's amenities at your doorstep.
