Rental homes in Holland Park, Diemen

What does a rental property cost in Holland Park? Almost everything is in the free sector

Holland Park is one of the most pronounced rental neighbourhoods in all of Diemen: no less than 84% of the housing stock consists of rental properties. Strikingly, only 7% of these are owned by housing associations. The vast majority, around 77%, is offered by private and institutional landlords. This means that as a home seeker in Holland Park, you will almost exclusively end up in the free sector. In the past twelve months, 194 homes have been rented out here in the free sector (excluding social housing), at an average rent of €1,765 per month. The range ran from €1,072 to €2,975 per month, with an average surface area of 74 m². That is substantial for an apartment of that size, but fits with the relatively new housing stock. The average WOZ value is €322,000, well below the Diemen average of €429,000. This difference is explained by the fact that Holland Park largely consists of compact new-build apartments, while elsewhere in Diemen there are more single-family homes.

Young, international and compact: this is what living in Holland Park feels like

Holland Park is not an average Diemen neighbourhood. It was built as an urban residential area right next to Diemen Zuid station, and you notice that in everything. The population is strikingly young: of the more than 5,300 residents, over 60% fall into the 25 to 45 age category. Another 1,230 residents are between 15 and 25. Single-person households dominate (2,270 of the total) and only 19% are married. It is a neighbourhood of starters, expats and young professionals who want to live close to Amsterdam without paying Amsterdam rents.

Residents on the neighbourhood page of Holland Park are generally positive about accessibility. Diemen Zuid station is literally around the corner, and with the metro you are in Amsterdam Amstel or Bijlmer ArenA in ten minutes. The A1 and A9 are also quickly reachable. What residents appreciate less is the lack of atmosphere on the street. The neighbourhood sometimes feels more like a collection of residential towers than a neighbourhood with its own identity. Amenities such as a supermarket and catering facilities are available, but the offering is limited compared to, for example, the centre of Diemen. One resident put it aptly: "Everything is new and tidy, but it doesn't feel like a real neighbourhood yet. You don't know your neighbours." That is the downside of a neighbourhood that was built up in a short time.

The neighbourhood is divided into several sub-areas, each with its own character. In Campus Diemen Zuid many students live, which provides liveliness but also noise pollution according to some reviews. Holland Park Zuid and Holland Park West are slightly quieter and attract more young couples. Green space in the immediate vicinity is limited, although the Diemerbos at cycling distance offers an outlet. The energy figures are impressively low: an average of 40 m³ of gas per home, which fits with the modern, well-insulated new-build. That saves a lot on monthly costs. More information about the neighbourhood, including resident reviews and scores per category, can be found on the extensive neighbourhood page. The municipality of Diemen also regularly publishes updates on the development of the area.

Renting in Holland Park: for whom and for whom not?

A rental home in Holland Park best suits single professionals and young couples who work in Amsterdam and value a short travel time. With 62% highly educated and an average income of €43,300, the neighbourhood is clearly aimed at this target group. For families with children, Holland Park is less suitable: the apartments are compact (average 74 m²), there are few primary schools in the immediate vicinity and outdoor space is limited. Families are better off looking at Diemen Noord, where there are more single-family homes. You will also find few seniors here, only 145 residents are 65-plus. Considering buying instead of renting?
