Of those rental properties, 32% are owned by housing associations (social housing) and 18% fall under other landlords (private sector and private individuals).

The range was between €1,306 and €1,306 per month, indicating that the available supply in the private sector is limited. Rental prices in E-buurt are therefore lower than the Amsterdam average, but comparable to the broader district of Ganzenhoef en omgeving. The average WOZ value in E-buurt is €509,000, which is above the district average of €369,000 but just below the municipal average of €517,000.

Living in E-buurt, Amsterdam

E-buurt is part of the Bijlmer, the large-scale post-war expansion area of Amsterdam-Zuidoost built in the 1960s and 1970s. Characteristic are the high-rise flats, gallery apartments and spacious green zones that were designed at the time as future-oriented urban living. In the decades that followed, the neighbourhood underwent a major restructuring: some of the original honeycomb flats were demolished and replaced by new-build ground-level homes and smaller apartment complexes. This mix of heritage Bijlmer and newer buildings defines the character of E-buurt today.

Atmosphere and residents

This makes it a neighbourhood where you encounter many young professionals and starters, alongside families who have lived here longer. The atmosphere is down-to-earth and practical, not the cosy inner-city bustling neighbourhood that some renters seek, but also not an anonymous dormitory suburb. Residents appreciate the space and accessibility, but are more critical about safety and green spaces in the immediate living environment. The overall resident score is 5.1 out of 10, based on resident reviews. One resident writes: "The accessibility is great, but the neighbourhood sometimes feels a bit neglected. During the day it's fine, but in the evening I'm a bit more careful." See all experiences on the neighbourhood page of E-buurt.
