Rental homes in Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt, Amsterdam

Rental prices and market figures for Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt, Amsterdam

Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt is a predominantly rental neighbourhood: as much as 93% of the approximately 1,410 homes are rental properties, compared to just 7% owner-occupied homes. Of those rental homes, 90% are owned by a housing association, meaning the vast majority are social housing. Free-sector rental homes are therefore scarce here. Over the past twelve months, only three homes were rented out in the free sector, with an average rent of €2,190 per month and a range of €1,170 to €2,700 per month. These are free-sector rents, excluding social housing. Since the floor area of these homes is not recorded, a price per m² cannot be calculated.

The average WOZ value of homes in the neighbourhood is €289,000, which is clearly lower than the district average for Slotermeer-West (€322,000) and well below the Amsterdam average of €517,000. This reflects the character of the neighbourhood: affordable, housing-association-dominated housing stock in a post-war Amsterdam expansion district.

Then also check the listings for owner-occupied homes in Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt, although that supply is limited to 7% of the stock.

Living in Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt, Amsterdam

Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt is located in the Nieuw-West district, as part of the Slotermeer-West neighbourhood. It is a typical post-war Amsterdam garden suburb, largely built in the 1950s and 1960s.

Is renting in Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt right for you?

The neighbourhood mainly attracts people looking for an affordable rental home through a housing association in a quiet, green environment. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years, but families with children (620 residents under 15) and older people also feel at home here. The average income is €24,900 per year, clearly below the Amsterdam average of €44,276, indicating that the neighbourhood has a more modest socio-economic profile. For renting an apartment in Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt via the free sector, you should expect higher rents and limited supply. For social housing, register in time with an Amsterdam housing association such as Eigen Haard or Ymere via the Woonnet Rijnmond system or the municipal housing information at amsterdam.nl, as waiting lists can be long. For those looking for a rental home in the free sector: respond quickly to available rental homes, as supply is limited.
