Rental homes in Nieuwe Pijp, Amsterdam

What does a rental property cost in Nieuwe Pijp?

Nieuwe Pijp is pre-eminently a renter's neighbourhood: 74% of the more than 7,960 homes are rental properties, of which 29% are owned by housing corporations and 45% by other landlords.

The range runs from approximately €1,098 for smaller apartments to €8,000 for the largest homes.

Living between Albert Cuyp and Sarphatipark: how do residents experience Nieuwe Pijp?

On Buurtje.nl, residents rate Nieuwe Pijp a 7.5 out of 10. That's a decent score, but the sub-scores tell a more nuanced story. Accessibility scores highest at 8.8, which is not surprising. Resident Z writes: "It's easily accessible by metro and tram." The North-South line (De Pijp station) and several tram lines connect the neighbourhood excellently with the rest of the city. However, Z notes a drawback regarding night transport: only one bus runs at night, and it departs at five in the morning towards Schiphol. Those returning late from the city centre have to rely on a bike or taxi.

The atmosphere in Nieuwe Pijp is undeniably urban and lively. Resident Middag describes it as "lively neighbourhood, 24/7 lively" and mentions the Albert Cuypmarkt within walking distance, supermarkets around the corner, and hospitality venues directly beneath the homes. In the area around Van der Helstplein, you notice this most: terraces, restaurants, and small shops define the streetscape. Towards the Cornelis Troostbuurt and the Willibrordusbuurt, it becomes slightly quieter, though it remains a compact, densely built neighbourhood everywhere. Sarphatipark offers relief, but resident Sem is honest: "Messy, mixed, little greenery." The green score of 6.8 confirms this. The park is nice, but the streets themselves are narrow and stony. The scores for beauty (6.5) and housing (6.2) show that housing quality varies. Many buildings are old and not always well-insulated, which is reflected in the low average gas consumption (710 m³), partly due to small homes. More experiences and all sub-scores can be found on the neighbourhood page with resident reviews of Nieuwe Pijp.

Facilities and education both score 8.0. Primary schools such as De Pijler and Derde Daltonschool are nearby, and you never have to walk far for daily groceries. The municipality of Amsterdam invests in the public space of De Pijp, but residents notice that it can still be messy in practice. Safety scores 7.8, which is above average for a busy Amsterdam neighbourhood. Still, it's good to know that the liveliness can also bring nuisance, especially around the hospitality concentrations in the Lizzy Ansinghbuurt.

Renting in Nieuwe Pijp: for whom, and for whom not?

With 5,890 residents aged between 25 and 45 and 5,145 single-person households, Nieuwe Pijp is typically a neighbourhood for young working people and couples without children. The high labour participation (68%) and the large share of highly educated people (63%) fit that profile. If you want to rent an apartment here, you need an above-average income given the private sector rents. For families with children, the limited space (73 m² on average) and lack of greenery are real drawbacks. If you're looking for more space or a lower price, a rental home in the Haarlemmerbuurt or the Jordaan is worth comparing. Considering buying instead of renting?
