Is renting in Kleverpark-noord right for you?

Kleverpark-noord mainly attracts families and dual-income couples looking for peace and space without living too far from the city. With an average rent of €2,473 per month in the private sector, this is not a neighbourhood for starters on a tight budget. If you are looking for a rental home in a green, quiet environment with good connections to Amsterdam and Schiphol, you will find an attractive alternative here to busier neighbourhoods. However, bear in mind that the private sector supply is limited: only 29 homes were rented out in the past year. It is therefore wise to respond quickly to available rental properties. Have your documents ready: employer's statement, recent payslips and proof of identity. For social housing, you can register with Elan Wonen or Ymere, but expect long waiting lists given the small housing association stock of 3%. Considering buying?
