Rental homes in Gein 3, Amsterdam

Rental prices and market figures Gein 3, Amsterdam

Gein 3 is a pronounced owner-occupied neighbourhood: 96% of the more than 1,260 homes are owner-occupied, only 4% are for rent, and that rental portion is entirely in the hands of private landlords. There is no housing association property in this neighbourhood, meaning social rental homes are effectively unavailable here. Anyone looking for a rental home in Gein 3 must rely on the free sector.

In the free sector (excluding social rent), two homes were rented out last year for an average of €2,000 per month, with an average floor area of 102 m². That works out to about €19.60 per m². By comparison, the average WOZ value in Gein 3 is €431,000, clearly above the district average of Gein (€342,000) but below the Amsterdam average of €517,000. Gein 3 is therefore a relatively affluent neighbourhood within the district, but more affordable than the Amsterdam average.

Living in Gein 3, Amsterdam

Gein 3 is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the southeast of Amsterdam, part of the Gein district. The neighbourhood was built in the 1970s and 1980s as part of the Bijlmer expansion, but has a very different character from the high-rise neighbourhoods further on. Here, ground-level single-family homes dominate, many terraced houses and semi-detached houses, with private gardens and spacious green strips in between. The streetscape is quiet, the buildings are low-rise, and there is plenty of space for cyclists and pedestrians.

The neighbourhood has approximately 3,200 residents. The largest group is between 45 and 65 years old, followed by those aged 65 and over. Nearly half of households are married, and 510 households have children. Gein 3 is therefore a typical family neighbourhood with a stable, mature population. Young people and starters are less represented, partly because the owner-occupancy rate is so high and inflow is limited.

For daily shopping, you can go to the shops in the nearby Geinsche Hof shopping centre, within walking distance of large parts of the neighbourhood.

Amsterdamse Bos and Gaasperplas park are also easily accessible.
