Rental homes in Geuzenveld, Amsterdam

What does a rental property cost in Geuzenveld?

Geuzenveld is one of the most rental-oriented neighbourhoods in Amsterdam: no less than 72% of the more than 7,100 homes are rental properties, and 61% of the total housing stock belongs to a housing association. This means that the supply in the free sector is relatively limited. In the past twelve months, 85 homes were rented out in the free sector, at an average rent of €1,769 per month. The range runs from €750 to €4,000, with an average surface area of 98 m². That is considerably cheaper than many other Amsterdam neighbourhoods, which is directly related to the lower WOZ value: €393,000 compared to €517,000 on average in Amsterdam.

The large housing association presence puts the free-sector market in a unique position. Those who do not qualify for social housing compete with a relatively small group for a limited number of available rental homes. At the same time, the average disposable income in Geuzenveld is €25,476, well below the Amsterdam average of €44,276. This makes the free sector unaffordable for many current residents and instead attracts tenants from outside the neighbourhood who are looking for an affordable apartment to rent in Amsterdam-West.

Lots of green, little contact: daily life in Geuzenveld

Geuzenveld scores a 6.3 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl, based on resident reviews. That is not an exceptionally high score, and the sub-scores tell a nuanced story. The neighbourhood scores best on greenery (8.0) and accessibility (7.0), but notably low on sense of community (5.0) and beauty (5.0). One resident summed it up as follows: "Little interaction with neighbours, don't like walking on the street in the evening. But plenty of shops and greenery." That is honestly a characterisation you hear more often about this corner of Nieuw-West.

The neighbourhood was built in the 1950s and 1960s as part of the Western Garden Cities plan. You can see this in the wide layout, the porch flats and the spacious green strips. Eendrachtspark is a nice place for a walk or to walk the dog, and around the Eendrachtspark neighbourhood you feel that space most strongly. Amenities are plentiful: Osdorpplein shopping centre is within cycling distance and along the Albardagracht and Burgemeester de Vlugtlaan you will find supermarkets, hairdressers and snack bars. With bus line 21 and tram line 1 (Osdorpplein stop) you can reach Central Station in 35 to 40 minutes, and Heemstedestraat metro station on the line to the Zuidas is accessible by bus.

Yet there is a downside. Social cohesion is low, and in some places the public space does not feel pleasant in the evening. The Ruys de Beerenbrouckbuurt and the Bakemabuurt are neighbourhoods where you can notice that difference per street. In the Dudokbuurt and Van Tijenbuurt it is generally quieter. Anyone considering renting a house here in Geuzenveld would do well to walk through the neighbourhood at different times.

Renting in Geuzenveld: for whom is it a good choice, and for whom not?

With an average household being single-person (3,270 of the households) and a large group of 25- to 45-year-olds, Geuzenveld mainly attracts starters and singles who want to live in Amsterdam without having to pay for the centre. Families with children also form a significant group (almost 4,000 residents are under 15), although you have to take into account limited social bonding in the neighbourhood. Are you looking for a lively, close-knit living environment with lots of hospitality and cultural offerings? Then the Jordaan or the Haarlemmerbuurt probably suits you better. Do you have a higher budget and are considering buying a home? Then check out the supply of homes for sale in Geuzenveld, where entry-level prices are relatively low by Amsterdam standards. The municipality of Amsterdam is investing in the renewal of public space through the Nieuw-West programme; more information about this can be found on the website of the municipality of Amsterdam.
