Rental prices and market figures for Coronelbuurt, Amsterdam
Coronelbuurt is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: 65% of the 657 homes are owned, while 35% are rented out. Notably, there are no social housing corporation homes; all rental properties are in the hands of private or commercial landlords. Social housing therefore does not exist in practice here, which distinguishes the neighbourhood from many other Amsterdam neighbourhoods.
In the free sector (excluding social housing), only two homes were rented out in the past twelve months, making it difficult to draw firm conclusions. The average rental price was €2,222 per month, with a range of €2,050 to €2,395 per month. With an average surface area of 53 m², this amounts to approximately €42 per m² per month. That is considerable, especially for a neighbourhood outside the ring road. By comparison, the average WOZ value of homes in Coronelbuurt is €408,000, which is higher than the district average of Slotermeer-Noordoost (€339,000), but clearly lower than the Amsterdam average of €517,000. In terms of price level, the neighbourhood thus sits between the district and the municipality. View the current supply and the most recent rental prices at the top of this page.
Living in Coronelbuurt, Amsterdam
Coronelbuurt is located in the Nieuw-West district, nestled between the Slotervaart and the broader Slotermeer-Noordoost area. The neighbourhood takes its name from the Cornelis Corneliszstraat and surrounding area, and largely consists of post-war stamp district housing from the 1950s and 1960s. That means: porch flats of four to five storeys, wide streets with green strips, and an urban design that was considered modern at the time. There is hardly any new construction; those who rent here rent a home with character and sometimes somewhat dated finishes.
The neighbourhood has around 1,540 residents, with a clear concentration of people between 25 and 45 years old. Single-person households are the most common (445 of the households), giving the neighbourhood a fairly individualistic character. The proportion of married people is 26%, relatively low for Amsterdam-Nieuw-West. The labour participation rate of 57% and an average income of €29,700 per year are in line with the district average, but well below the Amsterdam average of over €44,000.
