Rental homes in Chassébuurt, Amsterdam

What does a rental home cost in the Chassébuurt?

The Chassébuurt is primarily a rental neighbourhood: no less than 73% of the more than 3,000 homes are rental properties. About 40% of these are owned by housing corporations, while 33% are in the hands of other landlords. This means the private sector plays a significant role here. In the past twelve months, 153 homes in the private sector have been rented out, at an average rent of €2,591 per month. The range runs from approximately €1,072 to €4,600 per month, with an average floor area of 74 m². That is steep, especially considering that the average WOZ value in the Chassébuurt (€558,000) is already above the Amsterdam average of €517,000. The average disposable income of €41,500 is actually slightly lower than the €44,276 for all of Amsterdam.

Chassébuurt: family life by the water with urban amenities around the corner

Residents on Buurtje.nl give the Chassébuurt an 8.6 out of 10. That is a remarkably high score, and when you look at the sub-scores, the 9.5 for safety stands out. Education even scores a 10. Resident Anouk sums it up succinctly: "Quiet neighbourhood where many families live. The neighbourhood is close to the water and near the Kinkerstraat with many shops. There is also plenty of dining and drinking options in the area." That is correct. The Chassébuurt is nestled between the Kostverlorenvaart canal and the lively Kinkerstraat, giving residents the best of both worlds: peace by the water and within a few minutes' walk all the shops, restaurants and cafés you need. On the neighbourhood page of the Chassébuurt you can read all resident experiences and extensive neighbourhood data.

The neighbourhood is made up of several distinct sections. In the Filips van Almondekwartier you will find many pre-war porch flats, while the Kortenaerkwartier offers more variety in housing types. The Van Brakelkwartier and De Wester Quartier are closer to Rembrandtpark, where residents can quickly go for a run or walk the dog. Green space scores a decent 8.0, although it is not a villa neighbourhood with large gardens. The community score of 9.0 is striking: residents know each other, there is an active neighbourhood life, and the primary schools in the area are highly valued by parents.

In terms of accessibility (8.5), you are well-served. Tram lines on Jan Pieter Heijestraat and Kinkerstraat take you to Leidseplein or Amsterdam Central in ten minutes. Station Lelylaan is within cycling distance for the train. The municipality of Amsterdam has been investing in public spaces around the Chassébuurt in recent years, with wider pavements and more greenery.

The largest age group is 25 to 45 years (2,400 of the 6,000 residents), and with 765 children under 15, it is clearly a neighbourhood where young families feel at home. More than half of the residents are highly educated (54%), which contributes to the character of the area.
