Rental homes in Groenelaan, Amstelveen

What does a rental property cost in Groenelaan?

Groenelaan is quintessentially a rental neighbourhood: as much as 78% of the more than 4,400 homes are rental properties. That is considerably more than in many other parts of Amstelveen. About 42% of the total housing stock belongs to housing associations, while 37% is owned by other landlords. This means the private sector is well represented here, but you also have a serious chance of getting a social rental property if you are registered. In the private sector, the average rent over the past year was €2,276 per month, with a range of €750 to €8,950. The average floor area of rented homes was 99 m². That is relatively affordable compared to neighbourhoods closer to the Stadshart, especially given the average WOZ value of €405,000, well below the Amstelveen average of €528,000.

Groenelaan consists of several sub-neighbourhoods, each with its own character. In the Watercirkelbuurt you will find many porch flats from the 1960s and 1970s, while In de Wolkenbuurt offers more variety in housing types. The Kringloopbuurt and Langerhuize lie on the edges of the neighbourhood and are even quieter. The community score of 7.3 is the lowest mark, fitting the image of a neighbourhood where people are friendly but not intrusive. It is not an area where you pop round to the neighbours for coffee every Saturday, but it is a place where you feel safe and let your children play outside without worry.

Renting in Groenelaan: for whom and for whom not?

With the largest age group between 25 and 45 and a sizeable group of over-65s (2,270 residents), Groenelaan is a mix of young families and seniors. Single-person households form the largest group, so singles also feel at home here. If you are looking for an affordable rental home in the private sector and do not necessarily want to be in the centre, Groenelaan is a logical choice. For starters with a smaller budget, the average rent of €2,276 can still be quite steep. If you prefer a livelier area with more restaurants and nightlife, you are better off in the Stadshart.
