Rental prices and market figures for Trompbuurt, Amsterdam
The Trompbuurt is quintessentially a tenant neighbourhood: 68% of the more than 1,600 homes are rental properties. Notably, only 17% are owned by housing corporations, while as much as 51% is in the hands of other landlords (private investors, institutional parties). This makes the supply of social housing limited and the free sector dominant. In the free sector, the average rent over the past twelve months was €2,573 per month, with a range of €781 to €4,500. The average WOZ value of €581,000 is significantly above the average for the Geuzenbuurt district (€530,000) and also above the Amsterdam average of €517,000. This translates into higher rents than you encounter in many other parts of the city. Rents in the Trompbuurt are therefore also higher than the average for rental properties in Amsterdam as a whole.

Living in Trompbuurt, Amsterdam
The Trompbuurt is located in Amsterdam-West, wedged between the Admiraal de Ruijterweg and the Postjesweg. It is a compact, urban neighbourhood with predominantly pre-war buildings from the 1920s and 1930s: many porch-access flats of three to four storeys with characteristic Amsterdam School details on the facades. Here and there are newer apartment complexes, but the streetscape is defined by the distinctive brick architecture. The streets are narrow, the pavements too, and the atmosphere is that of a typical Amsterdam working-class neighbourhood that has changed considerably in recent years due to an influx of young professionals and expats.
Facilities in the Trompbuurt
You can do your daily shopping within walking distance: there is an Albert Heijn on the Admiraal de Ruijterweg and various small specialist shops and convenience stores. The Kinkerstraat, a few minutes away by bike, offers a wider range of shops including De Hallen, a former tram depot with a food hall, cinema and shops. For primary education, residents score remarkably high: a 10 out of 10. The Trompbuurt has several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including De Troubadour on the Trompstraat. In terms of dining and drinking, there is plenty to be found along the Admiraal de Ruijterweg and the Bilderdijkstraat, from coffee shops to restaurants. Sports facilities are available via the nearby Erasmuspark and Sportpark Ookmeer is accessible by bike. A really large park is lacking in the neighbourhood itself, but both Erasmuspark and Rembrandtpark are a few minutes away by bike.
Accessibility from the Trompbuurt
Accessibility scores a perfect 10 among residents, and rightly so. Tram lines 7 and 13 stop nearby and take you to Amsterdam Central Station in a quarter of an hour. Bus routes via the Admiraal de Ruijterweg connect the neighbourhood with Sloterdijk and beyond. Amsterdam Lelylaan station is within cycling distance (about 8 minutes) and provides connections to trains towards Schiphol, Haarlem and The Hague. By bike, you can be in the Jordaan or at Leidseplein in ten minutes. By car, the A10-West via exit S105 can be reached within five minutes. Parking is a point of attention: the neighbourhood falls under paid parking and a permit is required. The waiting list for a parking permit can be long, something to keep in mind if you come with a car.

Is the Trompbuurt right for you as a tenant?
Are you a young professional or expat who wants to be in the city centre quickly and is not necessarily looking for a close-knit neighbourhood feel? Then a rental home in the Trompbuurt is a good fit. The neighbourhood is also suitable for couples without children who rent an apartment in a lively environment. For families with children, primary education is a strong point, but the relatively high rents and limited supply of larger homes can be a barrier. Be quick: homes go off the market quickly. Prepare your documents (employer's statement, payslips, ID) and respond on the same day. For social housing, you can register via WoningNet, but expect years-long waiting lists.

It's nice there and friendly people. But a sense of togetherness is lacking and I don't have much contact with my neighbours either, which I regret. My primary school days in this neighbourhood were really perfect and the restaurants and shops are also very good. But there are many students and expats, which makes me feel a certain divide and not much community. I myself would like to move out, but that's certainly not possible in my neighbourhood because they are far too expensive.
Auto-translated to English by AINice and cosy, there is an ice cream shop and a playground called de ruige speeltijn but now it's for babies because everything is getting super small, which is a shame, but the rest is great. We get along well and some of my friends live very close by, which is also nice. But I do think there should be more playgrounds for older children, because babies are fine at home too, but older kids just end up on their phones or laptops, so more playgrounds for older children, that's the only thing.
