Rental homes in Schipluidenbuurt, Amsterdam

Rental prices and market figures for Schipluidenbuurt, Amsterdam

Schipluidenbuurt is a true rental neighbourhood: no less than 95% of the 1,128 homes are rental properties, compared to just 5% owner-occupied. Strikingly, social housing corporation ownership stands at 0%. Virtually all homes are rented out by private or commercial landlords, meaning social housing is practically non-existent in this neighbourhood. In the free sector, the average rent over the past year was €2,315 per month, with a range of €1,000 to €3,325. With an average floor area of 82 m², this works out to around €28 per m². That is steep, but the WOZ value of €292,000 is well below the average for the Westlandgracht district (€362,000) and far below the Amsterdam average of €517,000. The average income of €33,700 is also lower than in the rest of the district (€44,300) and Amsterdam as a whole (€44,276). Rental prices in Schipluidenbuurt are therefore relatively high compared to the income level in the neighbourhood.

Living in Schipluidenbuurt, Amsterdam

Schipluidenbuurt is located in the southwest of Amsterdam Nieuw-West, wedged between the Henk Sneevlietweg and the A4/A10 junction. It is a compact, modern neighbourhood that has changed significantly in recent years. Where post-war porch flats once stood, you now find predominantly new-build apartments from the 2010-2020 period, built as part of the large-scale redevelopment of the area around Schipluidenplein. The homes are relatively small (average 82 m²), but modern and energy-efficient, reflected in the extremely low gas consumption of just 30 m³ per year. Many homes are all-electric or connected to district heating.

The atmosphere is urban and functional. It is not a neighbourhood with a cosy village square or historic facades. The population is young: two-thirds are between 25 and 45 years old, and as many as 67% of households are single-person. The married percentage is just 8%. This is typically a neighbourhood for young professionals and expats who work in Amsterdam and are looking for a modern apartment without the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
