Rental homes in Reigersbos 4, Amsterdam

Rental prices and market figures for Reigersbos 4, Amsterdam

Reigersbos 4 is a neighbourhood where renting is the norm: 62% of the 1,090 homes are rental properties, and no less than 45% of the total housing stock is owned by housing corporations. This means that almost three-quarters of all rental homes are social housing, which distinguishes this neighbourhood from many other Amsterdam districts. The remaining 17% is rented out by private landlords or investors, and that is the free sector where you can rent without a waiting list.

In the free sector, the average rental price over the past twelve months was €1,243 per month, with a range from €750 to €1,630. With an average surface area of 81 m², this works out at about €15.35 per square metre. That is considerably lower than the Amsterdam average, which can be directly explained by its location in Zuidoost. The WOZ value here is €393,000, well above the district average of €333,000 for the whole of Reigersbos, but far below the municipal average of €517,000 in Amsterdam. Rental prices in Reigersbos 4 are therefore comparable to the rest of the neighbourhood, but significantly more affordable than in popular districts such as the Jordaan or Grachtengordel-West.

Living in Reigersbos 4, Amsterdam

Reigersbos 4 is located in the heart of Amsterdam-Zuidoost, sandwiched between the Karspeldreef and Geerdinkhof.
