Rental homes in Stadionbuurt, Amsterdam

What does a rental property cost in the Stadionbuurt?

The Stadionbuurt is pre-eminently a tenant neighbourhood: no less than 84% of the more than 6,500 homes are rental properties. Nearly half of these (48%) are owned by housing associations, while 36% are offered by other landlords. Only 16% are owner-occupied homes. This ratio makes the neighbourhood unique within Amsterdam, where the share of social housing is also generally high, but rarely as dominant as here. The average WOZ value is €568,000, which is above the Amsterdam average of €517,000. This directly translates into rental prices in the free sector.

In the free sector (excluding social housing and room rentals), 288 homes were rented out last year at an average rent of €2,722 per month. The range runs from approximately €780 to €5,500 per month, with an average floor area of 94 m². That is substantial, even by Amsterdam standards. Keep in mind that these figures are annual averages. For the current daily price and the current supply, you can consult the overview at the top of this page. The average disposable income in the neighbourhood is €50,800, well above the Amsterdam average of €44,276, indicating that relatively affluent tenants live here.

Stadionbuurt: warm community with a green and well-maintained character

On Buurtje.nl, residents rate the Stadionbuurt a 9.5 out of 10. That is a remarkably high score, although it is based on a limited number of two reviews. Still, it is striking how unanimous the picture is. Resident Olivier describes the neighbourhood as "a beautiful, well-maintained, super cosy neighbourhood" and emphasises the warm community: "Everyone can offer help or ask for it." This sense of community is also reflected in the sub-scores: both community and green spaces score 9.5 or higher, and housing even gets a perfect 10. More experiences and extensive neighbourhood data can be found on the neighbourhood page of Stadionbuurt.

The neighbourhood owes its name to the Olympic Stadium from 1928, which is still the landmark in the area around the Stadium and surroundings. The Stadionbuurt consists of several sub-areas, each with its own atmosphere. The Marathonbuurt-Oost and Marathonbuurt-West are typical 1930s neighbourhoods with wide avenues, plenty of greenery and a quiet, almost village-like appearance. The Marathonweg and Olympiaweg form the central axes, with shops, an Albert Heijn, bakeries and small catering establishments. Around the Bertelmanplein you will find a more compact area with porch flats and an active neighbourhood life. The Van Tuyllbuurt borders the Amsterdamse Bos, which explains the perfect green score. The IJsbaanpad offers a very different picture: more spacious, greener, with sports facilities and the Zuidas area within walking distance.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores a 9.5. That is correct: Amsterdam Zuid station is within cycling distance, tram line 24 and bus line 15 cross the neighbourhood, and the A10 ring road is reachable within a few minutes. Yet the area does not feel like a transit zone. The wide streets, the mature trees along the Stadionweg and the Olympiaplein give the neighbourhood a quiet, green appearance that you do not find everywhere in Amsterdam-Zuid. Energy consumption is relatively low (average 710 m³ of gas), which fits with the well-insulated pre-war construction that has been partially renovated. On the website of the municipality of Amsterdam you can find more information about ongoing sustainability projects in the neighbourhood.

Renting in the Stadionbuurt: for whom is it realistic?

With an average free sector rent of €2,722 per month, a rental home in the Stadionbuurt is mainly accessible for dual-income couples, expats and professionals with an above-average income. The largest age group (25-45 years, about 4,400 residents) confirms that picture: many young professionals and couples, often without children. The neighbourhood is also suitable for families looking for space and greenery, although rents for larger homes are correspondingly high. For starters or single people with an average salary, renting an apartment in the Stadionbuurt in the free sector is virtually unaffordable. Waiting times for social housing in Amsterdam-Zuid can exceed ten years. Those looking for an alternative can check the supply of owner-occupied homes in Stadionbuurt, although the entry level there is also substantial.
