Rental homes in Zuid Pijp, Amsterdam

What does a rental property cost in Zuid Pijp?

Zuid Pijp is quintessentially a renters' neighbourhood: no less than 86% of the more than 4,600 homes are rental properties. The majority of these, around 69%, are owned by housing associations. This means the private sector is relatively small here, and you notice that in the prices. Over the past twelve months, a private sector rental property in Zuid Pijp was let for an average of €2,704 per month, with a range from €760 to €4,450. The average floor area? Just 63 square metres. So you pay a lot per square metre here, especially considering that the average WOZ value (€502,000) is slightly below the Amsterdam average of €517,000. The average income in the neighbourhood is €35,300, significantly lower than the €44,276 for all of Amsterdam. That says something about the composition: many residents are in social housing.

Living in Zuid Pijp: cosy neighbourhood garden or challenging coexistence?

Residents of Zuid Pijp rate their neighbourhood on Buurtje.nl a 6.3 out of 10. That is not an exceptionally high score, and opinions vary widely. What immediately stands out in the scores: accessibility scores a strong 8.0. That makes sense, because with tram line 4 on Ferdinand Bolstraat and the metro at De Pijp station (North/South line), you are within a few minutes at Rokin or Station Zuid. Amenities score a 6.7, which is logical given the Albert Cuypmarkt around the corner and the many small shops and eateries along Ceintuurbaan and Ferdinand Bolstraat.

But the scores for green space (4.7) and sense of community (6.0) tell a different story. Zuid Pijp is densely built, with narrow streets and few parks. Sarphatipark is the only real green oasis, and it is shared with the whole of De Pijp. Resident Bintou (9.2/10) is full of praise: she describes a close-knit neighbourhood where residents work together, organise activities in summer and go on trips from the community centre. Her only complaint is that her home is too small for her family. But Ishayra, who has lived there for over ten years, gives just a 4.2 and complains about the lack of parking spaces and rude neighbours. Sanne is in between with a 5.4, without further explanation.

That contrast is typical of Zuid Pijp. In the Diamantbuurt around Smaragdplein you find many post-war porch flats with a more social character, while the Burgemeester Tellegenbuurt-West and the Burgemeester Tellegenbuurt-Oost lie closer to Sarphatipark and have more of the atmosphere of the popular Noord-Pijp. The education score (5.7) is modest, although there are primary schools like Catharinaschool and Pijlerschool in the area. On the neighbourhood page of Zuid Pijp you can read all resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood statistics.

Renting in Zuid Pijp: for whom yes, for whom no?

With 2,715 single-person households out of a total of around 4,600 homes, Zuid Pijp is primarily a neighbourhood for singles. Only 20% of residents are married. The largest age group (25-45 years, 2,730 people) confirms that: this is a neighbourhood for young professionals and starters who want to live close to the city centre. But finding a rental home in the private sector here is not cheap, and the apartments are compact. For families looking for space, Zuid Pijp is frankly cramped. If you prefer to buy, you can look at the limited supply of homes for sale in Zuid Pijp, although only 14% of homes are owner-occupied. Do you have a car? Then be prepared for limited parking spaces and the high cost of a parking permit via the municipality of Amsterdam.
