Rental homes in Amstel III/Bullewijk, Amsterdam

What does a rental property cost in Amstel III/Bullewijk?

Amstel III/Bullewijk is a neighbourhood where you can only rent. The entire housing stock of 2,362 homes consists 100% of rental properties, and strikingly, there are no social housing association homes: all rentals are through private and commercial landlords. This makes the rental market here very different from the rest of Amsterdam, where social housing makes up a large part of the market. The average WOZ value of €209,000 is well below the Amsterdam average of €517,000, which says something about the type of property: predominantly compact apartments in relatively new complexes.

In the free sector, the average rent over the past year was €1,596 per month, with a range of €900 to €3,300. The average apartment measures around 74 square metres. That is not cheap by Amsterdam standards, but you do get more square metres for your money here than in the city centre. Want to know what is available today?

Young, independent and urban: what living in Bullewijk feels like

Amstel III/Bullewijk is not a classic Amsterdam neighbourhood with canals and brown cafes. It is an area that has rapidly transformed from an office location into a residential district in recent years, and you can tell. The architecture is modern, the buildings are tall, and the atmosphere is businesslike but not unpleasant. The vast majority of the 3,870 residents are between 25 and 45 years old (over 2,300 people), and as many as 2,240 households are single-person households. Only 10% are married. This is a neighbourhood of young professionals and students living independently, not families with children.

Residents on the neighbourhood page of Amstel III/Bullewijk rate the area a 6.8 out of 10. What stands out: the score for sense of community is surprisingly high at 8.5, while accessibility scores low (4.5). The latter is remarkable, because Bullewijk metro station is in the neighbourhood and Amsterdam Bijlmer-ArenA station is within walking distance. Yet residents apparently experience the connections as insufficient, possibly due to limited bus routes and the distance to the centre. Resident Maria describes her experience as "okay" and mentions problems with waste and litter on the streets. The cleanliness score of 4.5 confirms that picture: the public space could use a makeover.

Facilities score a 7.0. In the immediate vicinity you will find supermarkets and eateries, and the Johan Cruijff ArenA with surrounding shops and restaurants is nearby. For more extensive shopping or nightlife, you have to rely on the centre or Zuidoost. The neighbourhood Hoofdcentrum-Zuidoost offers more urban amenities within a short distance. If you are looking for peace and quiet, you can check out the rental offerings at Hoge Dijk, which is greener and quieter. The sub-areas of the neighbourhood, such as the northern A/B part and the southern C/D part, differ in atmosphere: the north is still more of an office area, while the south already feels a bit more like a residential district. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Amsterdam.

Renting in Bullewijk: suitable for starters, less so for families

A rental home in Amstel III/Bullewijk is best suited for single starters and young professionals looking for an affordable apartment in Amsterdam without the hustle and bustle of the city centre. With an average income of €23,500 in the neighbourhood and rents starting at €900, it is just about affordable for many starters, especially if you consider a studio or small one-bedroom apartment. Families with children will feel less at home here: there are few playgrounds, limited schools in the immediate vicinity (despite the education score of 8.0), and the neighbourhood lacks the cosiness of a real residential area.
