Living in Nes aan de Amstel, Amstelveen
Nes aan de Amstel is not an ordinary residential neighbourhood. It is a ribbon of development along the banks of the Amstel, south of the built-up area of Amstelveen, with a distinctly rural and quiet character. Anyone looking for a rental home here is consciously seeking something different from an urban environment: large plots, green views, water nearby and little traffic on the streets. The homes are mostly detached or semi-detached, many built in the second half of the twentieth century, but also with older farmhouses and characteristic properties along the Amsteldijk.
Atmosphere and character
The neighbourhood has around 1,020 residents and thus a village-like, almost intimate character. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (330 people), followed by those aged 65 and over (240 people). Families with children are the most common household type. It is a neighbourhood where people know each other. Resident Phelice Overkamp describes it aptly: "A quiet, beautiful neighbourhood that is only really accessible by car." She also notes that the community is close-knit, but that there are few amenities. That is honestly the core of what you can expect here: peace and space, but no convenience within walking distance.
Amenities
Amenities in Nes aan de Amstel itself are scarce. There is no supermarket in the neighbourhood. For daily groceries, you rely on Amstelveen or Uithoorn, both a few minutes' drive away. Hospitality options are minimal: the neighbourhood has one restaurant, but residents are not unanimously enthusiastic about it. For schools, sports facilities, shops and healthcare, you will also need to take the car towards Amstelveen. The nearest primary and secondary schools are in the surrounding centres. Residents therefore give amenities a score of 1 out of 10, a sign that you do not move here for the local supermarket or shopping centre.
Accessibility
Accessibility by public transport is limited. There is a bus route along the Amsteldijk, but the frequency is low and travel time to the centre of Amstelveen or Amsterdam is considerable. Residents give accessibility a score of 1 out of 10, which clearly indicates this is not a public-transport-friendly neighbourhood. By car, the situation is different: the N522 connects Nes aan de Amstel quickly to Amstelveen and via the A9 to Amsterdam and Schiphol. Parking is not a problem; most homes have their own driveway or space on the property. Cycling along the Amsteldijk is pleasant, but for daily commuting to Amsterdam it is a considerable distance. Anyone wanting to rent in Nes aan de Amstel would do well to rely on the car as their primary means of transport.
Green spaces and safety
In terms of green spaces and safety, the neighbourhood scores excellently: both receive a 10 from residents. The Amstel, the meadows and the dike ribbons create an environment that feels like being outside the city, even though Amsterdam is less than twenty kilometres away. The neighbourhood is quiet and residents feel safe there. Compared to neighbourhoods such as Legmeerpolder, which also belongs to the Buitengebied Zuid district, Nes aan de Amstel is even more rural and exclusive in terms of rental prices. Those looking for more urban amenities within Amstelveen can also look at Stadshart or Elsrijk, where the supply and amenities have a completely different profile.
Who is a rental home in Nes aan de Amstel suitable for?
Living in Nes aan de Amstel suits people who consciously choose space, peace and a close-knit community, and who consider the car a natural means of transport. The average rent of €6,549 per month in the private sector makes it clear that this segment is aimed at households with above-average incomes, expats or people consciously seeking a large home outside the city. Starters and students will find little suitable supply here, both in terms of price and type of home. For social housing, you can register with Eigen Haard or Ymere, the housing associations active in the Amstelveen region, but be prepared for long waiting lists. If you are also considering owner-occupied homes, check the supply of homes for sale in Nes aan de Amstel as an alternative. Respond quickly to available rental homes: the supply is small and homes are usually rented out quickly.

Hospitality options are minimal. Schools, sports clubs, healthcare centres and shops are found in the surrounding villages.

Is Nes aan de Amstel a safe neighbourhood to rent in?
Residents rate safety in Nes aan de Amstel as 10 out of 10, the highest score of all assessed categories. The neighbourhood is quiet, has little through traffic and the low population density contributes to a sense of safety. With over 1,000 residents and a close-knit community, people know each other, which also contributes to social control. There are no signs of nuisance or insecurity in the available resident reviews.
Nes aan de Amstel is a cosy neighbourhood with some people in it. It's a nice community with mostly elderly people, but most people take you reasonably seriously. The only problem here is that there are very few amenities. There is one restaurant with unpleasant owners, so it's almost never visited. The biggest problem is that it's not accessible. There is public transport, officially once an hour. In practice, it runs once every two hours or once every three hours. Actually, you never know, so the public transport here is very unreliable, the little bus. The public transport also just leaves you behind if the bus, which can hold a maximum of five people, is full. By bike, it's not possible yet from Amsterdam. With a normal bike, you'd be on the road for over an hour, and since it's on the Amstel, the wind is stronger. So accessibility is really only by car.
