Rental prices and market figures De Eendracht, Amsterdam
De Eendracht is a neighbourhood where renting and buying are more or less in balance: 48% of the approximately 923 homes are rental properties, 52% are owner-occupied. Of all homes, 44% are owned by a housing association, meaning social housing has a significant share here. Only 4% falls under other (private) landlords. The free sector is therefore limited in representation.
The average WOZ value in De Eendracht is €478,000. That is significantly higher than the district average of Geuzenveld (€393,000), but lower than the Amsterdam average of €517,000. The neighbourhood thus occupies a middle position in terms of property value within the city.
For the free sector rental market: in the past twelve months, 7 homes were rented out with an average rent of €2,411 per month (excluding social housing). The range ran from €976 to €2,750 per month. This explicitly concerns free sector rentals; social housing does not fall under this and is usually considerably cheaper. Because the number of free sector transactions is low (7 in a year), these figures are indicative. View the current supply and daily rental prices at the top of this page.
Living in De Eendracht, Amsterdam
De Eendracht is a quiet, predominantly residential neighbourhood in the western part of Amsterdam, part of the district Geuzenveld. The neighbourhood was largely built in the post-war period, with a mix of porch flats, gallery flats and single-family homes from the 1960s and 1970s. The housing blocks are substantial in size, the streets relatively wide, and there is more greenery than in the denser inner-city neighbourhoods of Amsterdam. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural highlights, but rather for a certain peace and clarity that appeals to families and people looking for a bit more space.
Facilities in De Eendracht
For daily groceries, residents rely on supermarkets in the immediate vicinity, including shops at the Osdorpplein shopping centre a short bike ride away. Osdorpplein offers not only supermarkets but also a wide range of shops, a pharmacy, a GP and eateries. In the neighbourhood itself, there are primary schools that are convenient for families with young children. For sports and recreation, the Eendrachtspark is a great asset: a green area directly adjacent to the neighbourhood where children can play and residents can walk or cycle. The De Mirandabad swimming pool and sports facilities in the wider Geuzenveld area are accessible by bike. The dining and drinking options in the neighbourhood itself are limited; those wanting more choice in restaurants or cafés cycle or drive to the city centre or the Haarlemmerbuurt.
Accessibility
De Eendracht is not directly on a metro line, but is well served by bus. Several bus routes connect the neighbourhood to Isolatorweg metro station (line 50) and to Amsterdam city centre. By bike, the centre can be reached in about 25 to 35 minutes, depending on the destination. By car, the A10 and A9 are reasonably quickly accessible via Osdorpseweg and Cornelis Lelylaan, making the neighbourhood attractive for commuters heading to Schiphol or the region. Parking is still possible in large parts of the neighbourhood with a permit or in designated spots; it is less chaotic than within the ring. More information about accessibility and municipal plans can be found at amsterdam.nl.
Atmosphere and residents
The largest age group in De Eendracht consists of 25- to 45-year-olds (640 people), but the 45 to 65 group (605) and over-65s (480) are also well represented. With 415 households with children and a marriage rate of 43%, this is clearly a neighbourhood where families and established residents set the tone. The average income of €33,400 is higher than the district average of Geuzenveld (€25,476), but below the Amsterdam average (€44,276). This gives De Eendracht a mixed profile: not the poorest neighbourhood in the district, but also not a typical expat or yuppie neighbourhood.
Residents appreciate the peace, space and presence of greenery. One resident writes on the neighbourhood page of De Eendracht: "It's quieter here than you'd expect for Amsterdam. You have space, a little park around the corner, and the neighbours know each other." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited dining and drinking options and the fact that the neighbourhood is less lively in the evenings compared to more central districts.
