Living in Amstel III deel A/B-Zuid, Amsterdam

Amstel III deel A/B-Zuid is not a classic Amsterdam neighbourhood with canals and brown cafes. This is a relatively young, modern residential area in Amsterdam-Zuidoost that has been transformed from an office district into a mixed-use residential and work location in recent years. The homes are predominantly new-build apartments in compact complexes, built after 2015. The architecture is sleek and functional, with plenty of glass and concrete. The streetscape is businesslike, but the apartments themselves are modernly finished and energy-efficient, which is reflected in the low average gas consumption of 460 m³ per year.
