What does a rental property cost in Slotervaart-Zuid?
Slotervaart-Zuid is one of the most pronounced rental neighbourhoods of Amsterdam: no less than 81% of the more than 5,200 homes are rental properties, and two-thirds of those are owned by housing associations. This makes the neighbourhood interesting for many Amsterdammers, but also means that the private sector here is relatively small. In the private sector (excluding social housing and room rentals), the average rent over the past year was €2,080 per month, with a range of €750 to €3,250. The average size of those homes was 93 m². Compared to the Amsterdam average, that is affordable, especially when you look at the WOZ value: €410,000 versus €517,000 on average in the municipality. Want to know what is available today?

The large share of housing association homes (66%) means that many tenants end up in the neighbourhood through social housing. The private sector is limited at around 15% of the stock, so if you want to rent an apartment here without a waiting period, you need to act quickly. The average disposable income in the neighbourhood is €32,000, well below the Amsterdam average of over €44,000. This reflects the character of Slotervaart-Zuid: a diverse, accessible neighbourhood where not everyone has a high income, but where the majority of residents can get by just fine.
Slotervaart-Zuid: family neighbourhood with village-like traits in Nieuw-West
On the neighbourhood page of Slotervaart-Zuid, residents give the neighbourhood a 7.5 out of 10. That may not sound spectacular, but the sub-scores tell a clear story. Safety scores a perfect 10, accessibility an 8.5, and community spirit an 8. One resident describes it as "a real family neighbourhood" where many families live and where it is safe and pleasant. Another writes: "All around me are trees, flowers and small streets where people greet each other and have time for a chat." That village-like feeling, right in the middle of Amsterdam, is exactly what characterises Slotervaart-Zuid.
The neighbourhood is nestled between Sloterpark and the busy Lelylaan, with tram stops and Heemstedestraat metro station within walking distance. Accessibility to the city centre is good: with line 1 or the metro you can be at Leidseplein in a quarter of an hour. In the Louis Crispijnbuurt and the Staalmanbuurt you will find the typical Amsterdam porch flats from the 1950s and 1960s, partly renovated and partly still in original condition. Around the former Medisch Centrum Slotervaart, there is a lot of construction and transformation underway, which could provide new supply in the coming years. The Jacques Veltmanbuurt is quieter and greener, closer to Sloterpark.
What residents appreciate less: the beauty of public spaces scores a 6.5. One reviewer notes that "there is always rubbish on the street on days when it shouldn't be." That is a recurring point in Nieuw-West. Amenities also score a 6.5. There are supermarkets and a few eateries along Slotermeerlaan, but for extensive shopping or going out you need to go to the city centre or Osdorpplein. Green space is certainly available, but you have to leave the neighbourhood: Sloterpark and Sloterplas are a few minutes' bike ride away.

I think my neighbourhood is so beautiful because it is a place where everything comes together: peace, cosiness, and life. All around me are trees, flowers, and small streets where people greet each other and have time for a chat. I hear birds singing in the morning and children laughing on the square in the afternoon. There is always something to do, but it never feels busy. People look after each other, and that makes it warm and familiar. I love the smell of freshly cut grass in summer and the lights that decorate the streets in winter. My neighbourhood feels like a second family, a place where I feel at home and where I step outside with a smile every day.
