Renting in Oosteinde: a tight private sector with high prices
Oosteinde is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the 3,691 homes, 72% are owner-occupied, and only 28% are rental properties. The majority of those rental homes are owned by a housing association (20%), while the private sector is limited to about 8% of the stock. Anyone looking for a rental home in Oosteinde outside the social sector must reckon with a limited supply and high prices. In the private sector, an average of €3,307 per month was paid for a home over the past year, with a range of €1,050 to €6,500 per month. The average floor area was 150 m². These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing and rooms. For the current supply and current average rent, please consult the overview at the top of this page. The average WOZ value of homes in Oosteinde is €583,000, clearly higher than the municipal average of €494,000 for Aalsmeer. This reflects the quality and character of the neighbourhood, but it does not make renting in the private sector a cheap option here.
Oosteinde as a family neighbourhood: quiet, green and strongly community-oriented
People who live in Oosteinde often live there for a long time. That is perhaps the most striking feature of this neighbourhood. Resident Carlijn has lived there for almost 17 years and describes the area as a kind of family: "Everyone moved here at the same time, we can count on each other when something happens, we are there for each other." She gives the neighbourhood a 9.5 and also mentions the space for children to play outside as a concrete plus point. That experience aligns with the figures: Oosteinde has relatively many families with children (1,945 households) and the largest age group is 45 to 65 years. This is not a neighbourhood where you live anonymously.
On the neighbourhood page of Oosteinde, residents give the neighbourhood an average of 8.6 based on reviews. Accessibility scores the highest with a 9.5, followed by safety and green space (both 9.0). Amenities score somewhat lower with a 7.5, which is logical: Oosteinde has a green and spacious character, but for extensive shopping or going out you have to rely on the centre of Aalsmeer or surrounding areas. The neighbourhood itself offers peace and space, and the proximity of Schiphol makes accessibility by car and public transport above average. Within Oosteinde there are also smaller areas with their own atmosphere, such as the busier Greenpark and the more rural Schinkelpolder. Bovenlanden is also part of the area and has its own housing mix.
The combination of a high safety score, strong social cohesion and green character makes Oosteinde attractive, but it is not a neighbourhood with much urban dynamism. The beauty score of 8.0 and the community score of 8.0 are solid but not exceptional, and the low amenities score indicates that residents consciously choose peace over convenience. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Aalsmeer.
Renting in Oosteinde: for whom is this realistic?
Oosteinde is best suited for families or dual-income earners who are looking for space, appreciate a stable neighbourhood and are willing to pay the private-sector prices. With an average rent of over €3,300 per month in the private sector, renting an apartment in Oosteinde is financially not feasible for starters or people with a modal income. Those who qualify for social housing must reckon with waiting times via the housing association. If you are looking for something different, then the centre of Aalsmeer or Kudelstraat and Kalslagen are possible alternatives with a different supply. Considering home ownership? Then also check the supply of homes for sale in Oosteinde, because the owner-occupied market is considerably larger here than the rental market.
