What does a rental home cost in Diemen Noord?
Diemen Noord is a neighbourhood where the share of rental homes (54%) is larger than the share of owner-occupied homes (46%). That sounds promising if you are looking for a rental property, but the nuance lies in the distribution: only 20% of the total housing stock is owned by housing associations, while 35% is owned by other landlords. This means that most rental supply falls in the private sector, with corresponding prices. In the past year, 71 homes in the private sector were rented out at an average rent of €1,866 per month. The range runs from €950 to €2,800 per month, with an average floor area of 107 m². That is substantial, especially when compared to the average disposable income of €44,700 in the neighbourhood. The WOZ value here is €520,000, well above the municipal average of €429,000 in Diemen.

Diemen Noord: quiet family neighbourhood with city connections
Diemen Noord feels like a neighbourhood that has consciously chosen peace and quiet, without completely disconnecting from the city. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old (1,885 people), but with 990 children under 15 and 1,115 households with children, it is clearly a place where families feel at home. You notice this in the streetscape: people cycle to primary schools, children play in the parks around de Vogelweide, and at weekends the sports fields are busy. Residents on the neighbourhood page of Diemen Noord frequently mention the green surroundings and relative quiet as plus points. One resident wrote: "You are at Amstelstation in ten minutes, but at home in the evening you mainly hear the birds."
Accessibility is a strong point. Diemen-Zuid metro station is within cycling distance, and via the A1 and A9 you are quickly in Amsterdam or towards the Gooi region. At the same time, Diemen Noord is not a neighbourhood with a bustling own centre. For larger groceries or dining out, residents often go to the centre of Diemen or even Amsterdam-Zuidoost. The neighbourhood Scheepskwartier has a somewhat newer character with more recent construction, while Oud Diemen preserves a village-like feel with its historic ribbon development along the Diemerzeedijk. In Buytenstee and Vlindertuin you mainly find single-family homes and quiet streets.
What residents appreciate less: the shopping options within the neighbourhood itself are limited, and social cohesion varies per area. The ageing population is noticeable with 1,440 residents aged 65 and older. Nevertheless, the neighbourhood scores well on safety perception and green spaces. The Diemerpolder on the edge of the neighbourhood offers a unique piece of nature where you can walk and cycle, something rare in this region so close to the city. The municipality of Diemen has been investing in sustainability and improving public spaces in recent years, which is visible in parts of Diemen Noord.
Renting in Diemen Noord: for whom and for whom not?
With an average rent of €1,866 in the private sector, renting an apartment in Diemen Noord is mainly feasible for dual-income couples or single people with an above-average income. Families looking for space outside Amsterdam but wanting to maintain the connection will find what they need here. The neighbourhood is less suitable for starters with a smaller budget or for those seeking a lively nightlife. The social rental sector is limited (20% housing association stock), so waiting times are long. If you are flexible in housing type and have a larger budget, also consider owner-occupied homes in Diemen Noord, because with a WOZ value of €520,000, buying could work out cheaper in the long run than renting in the private sector.
