Rental prices and market figures Sloterpark, Amsterdam
Sloterpark is a predominantly rental neighbourhood: approximately 89% of the housing stock consists of rental properties, compared to only 11% owner-occupied homes. Notably, the entire rental supply is in the hands of other landlords, not housing associations. In practice, this means there are hardly any social rental properties available through associations in Sloterpark, and the supply is almost entirely in the free sector.
The average WOZ value is €408,000. This is higher than the district average of Slotermeer-Zuidoost (€337,000), but significantly lower than the Amsterdam average of €517,000. This position reflects the neighbourhood well: not the cheapest corner of the city, but also not the level of the canal belt.
In the free sector, eight homes were rented out in the past twelve months, with an average rental price of €1,737 per month. The range runs from €900 to €3,200 per month, indicating that the supply is quite varied. These are exclusively free sector prices; social rent is not included here.

Living in Sloterpark, Amsterdam
Sloterpark is a quiet, green-dominated neighbourhood on the west side of Amsterdam, directly bordering the Sloterplas. The neighbourhood owes its name to the surrounding park area, and you notice it as soon as you walk around: wide avenues, lots of greenery, and a pace that is different from the city centre. The buildings largely consist of post-war porch flats and maisonettes from the 1950s and 1960s, built in the style of the Western Garden Cities. This gives the neighbourhood a recognisable, cohesive appearance, but the homes are generally not large and the construction quality varies.
Facilities in Sloterpark
The immediate neighbourhood is deliberately kept green, which means you have to cycle or walk for daily groceries. The nearest supermarkets are in the adjacent shopping streets towards Osdorp or along the Jan Evertsenstraat. Along the Plesmanlaan and in the surrounding neighbourhoods, smaller shops and eateries can be found. For schools, families rely on primary schools in the immediate vicinity of Slotermeer-Zuidoost, including schools on the edge of the neighbourhood towards the Burgemeester Röellstraat. The Sloterplas itself is the sporting heart of the area: swimming, rowing, sailing, and beach volleyball are possible there. Around the park, there are also running routes and playgrounds, making the neighbourhood attractive for people who want to exercise outdoors without travelling far.
Accessibility of Sloterpark
By public transport, Sloterpark is reasonably well connected. Tram lines and bus connections in the immediate vicinity take you to Sloterdijk station or towards the centre. By tram or bus, you are in the centre of Amsterdam in about twenty to thirty minutes. By car, the A10 is easily accessible via the Cornelis Lelylaan or the Jan Evertsenstraat, which also makes the neighbourhood interesting for commuters heading to Schiphol or the region. By bike, the centre is easily accessible via the cycle paths along the Sloterplas and the Overtoom, in about twenty-five minutes. Parking is possible in most parts of the neighbourhood with a resident's permit; parking pressure is lower than in the city centre.
For comparison: the Noordoever Sloterplas is located directly next to Sloterpark and has a similar green character, but with a slightly different housing supply. The Dichtersbuurt is somewhat more urban in nature and has more small independent shops and eateries within walking distance. And the Louis Couperusbuurt also borders it and is popular among families due to its quiet streets.

Does renting in Sloterpark suit you?
Sloterpark attracts people who consciously choose peace, greenery, and space, without leaving the city entirely. Think of dual-income couples, expats who want a bit more space than the city centre offers, and people who regularly exercise outdoors. The rental prices in the free sector are not low, averaging €1,737 per month, and the supply is limited: only eight free sector homes were rented out in the past year. So quick response is important when a rental home becomes available. Prepare your rental documents, including an employer's statement and recent payslips. Social rental properties are virtually unavailable through associations in this neighbourhood, so for a social rental property you must register with WoningNet Amsterdam and expect long waiting lists.
