Rental homes in Slotermeer-Zuidoost, Amsterdam

What does a rental property cost in Slotermeer-Zuidoost?

Slotermeer-Zuidoost is one of the most affordable neighbourhoods in Amsterdam to rent, especially compared to the city average. The average WOZ value here is €337,000, well below Amsterdam's €517,000. This is also reflected in rental prices in the free sector: over the past twelve months, a rental property in Slotermeer-Zuidoost was let for an average of €2,354 per month, with a range of €900 to €3,200. This concerns the free sector, excluding social housing and room rentals. On average, these properties offer around 89 m² of living space. For current daily prices and the latest listings, please refer to the overview at the top of this page.

Strikingly, as many as 77% of the 3,491 homes in the neighbourhood are rental properties. Of these, 58% are owned by housing associations, meaning the majority of the supply is social housing. Only 18% are rented out by other landlords in the free sector, so the supply of rental homes outside housing associations is limited. Anyone considering renting an apartment in Slotermeer-Zuidoost in the free sector needs to act quickly: in the past year, 62 properties were rented out.

Green and quiet, but with rough edges: how residents experience Slotermeer-Zuidoost

On the neighbourhood page of Slotermeer-Zuidoost, residents give the area a 6.2 out of 10. That score tells the honest story of a neighbourhood with strong points but also clear areas for improvement. What immediately stands out: green spaces and accessibility both score 8.3. Resident Moenna describes it as "a beautiful natural area with trees in courtyards close to the city" and calls the neighbourhood healthy and affordable for starters. Sloterpark is within walking distance, and the courtyard structure gives the area a village character you wouldn't expect in Amsterdam Nieuw-West.

However, there are also significant drawbacks. Safety scores 4.7 and amenities only 4.0. Resident Joep describes his neighbourhood as a "gated community": nice terraced houses, but with grimmer areas around them and a long walk to the nearest supermarket. This lack of shops in the immediate vicinity is something to consider, especially if you live in Noordoever Sloterplas or Sloterpark. Isabella gives the neighbourhood a 4.9 and is critical of social cohesion: "The neighbourhood coaches do nothing, the parents do nothing. Children are rude." This tension between peace and nuisance is characteristic of parts of Slotermeer-Zuidoost.

Accessibility is definitely a plus. With metro line 50 and several bus routes, you're quickly in the city centre. The average income of €29,700 is well below the Amsterdam average of €44,276, which explains the multicultural and young composition of the neighbourhood. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years old, and more than half of households are single-person. In Dichtersbuurt and Louis Couperusbuurt, you'll find similar atmospheres, but each with its own character. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Amsterdam.

Renting in Slotermeer-Zuidoost: for whom and for whom not?
