Rental prices and market figures for Campus Diemen Zuid, Diemen
Campus Diemen Zuid is entirely a rental neighbourhood: 100% of the housing stock consists of rental properties, and all of these are owned by other landlords (not housing associations). So there is no social housing here. The average WOZ value is €183,000, which is remarkably low compared to the rest of the Holland Park district (€322,000) and the municipal average of Diemen (€429,000). That difference says a lot about the type of homes: these are almost exclusively small, functional apartments specifically built for temporary residence.
In the free sector (excluding social housing), an average of €1,437 per month was paid for renting an apartment in Campus Diemen Zuid over the past year. The range runs from €1,099 to €1,627 per month. The average size is only 29 m², which works out at a price per square metre of over €49. That is on the high side, even for the region. By comparison, in surrounding neighbourhoods such as Holland Park Zuid and Holland Park West, larger homes are available, often at similar or slightly higher absolute rents but with more square metres.

Living in Campus Diemen Zuid, Diemen
Campus Diemen Zuid is not an ordinary residential neighbourhood. The name says it all: this is a campus neighbourhood, built around student housing and short-stay living. The demographic figures make that crystal clear. Of the 1,880 residents, the largest group is between 15 and 25 years old (965 people), followed by the 25 to 45 age group (905 people). Only a handful of residents are over 45. Nearly three-quarters of households consist of a single person, and only 3% of residents are married. This is not a neighbourhood where families put down roots; it is a neighbourhood where people live temporarily, study, or start out.
The homes are almost all compact apartments, modern in design and fully electric (gas consumption is 0 m³). That fits with the new-build character of the neighbourhood, which is part of the broader development of the Holland Park area on the southern side of Diemen. The buildings are functionally designed for residents who are rarely at home and need little space. You won't find cosiness in the sense of a classic residential street or a neighbourhood square here.
Facilities in and around Campus Diemen Zuid
The neighbourhood itself has limited facilities, but is conveniently located relative to what Diemen and the immediate surroundings offer. For daily groceries, you can go to supermarkets in Diemen Centrum, a few minutes away by bike. Shops, restaurants, and healthcare facilities are concentrated in nearby Diemen Centrum. Schools for primary or secondary education are not present in the neighbourhood itself, which is logical given the almost non-existent family population. For sports and recreation, there are opportunities in the surrounding Holland Park area, with green strips and the proximity of the Diemerbos and the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal for runners and cyclists.
Accessibility of Campus Diemen Zuid
Accessibility is one of the strongest points of this neighbourhood. Metro station Diemen Zuid (lines 53 and 54) is within walking distance and takes you to Amsterdam Amstel in about 10 minutes and to Amsterdam Centraal in 20 minutes. That makes the neighbourhood attractive for students and workers in Amsterdam. By car, the A10 and A2 are quickly reachable via the Diemerkade. Parking in the neighbourhood is regulated through permits or paid parking; free parking spaces are scarce. Cycling to Amsterdam-Oost takes about 15 to 20 minutes via the cycle path along the canal.
Residents of Campus Diemen Zuid particularly appreciate the connection with Amsterdam and the tranquillity the neighbourhood still offers despite its urban location. One resident writes: "Ideal if you work in Amsterdam but don't want to pay Amsterdam rents. Small apartment, but the metro is on your doorstep." Criticism often focuses on the limited social atmosphere and the sense of temporariness.
