That is well above the municipal average: the WOZ value in Weespertrekvaart is €646,000, compared to €517,000 for Amsterdam as a whole and €506,000 for the broader district Omval/Overamstel. Weespertrekvaart thus belongs to the more expensive segments of the district. The supply consists mainly of apartments, fitting the urban, modern development along the trekvaart.

Living in Weespertrekvaart, Amsterdam
Weespertrekvaart is a compact, relatively new neighbourhood on the southeast side of Amsterdam, wedged between the Weespertrekvaart and the Amstel. The buildings largely date from the 1990s and later, with an urban character that differs strongly from the classic Amsterdam canal houses. Here you mainly find stacked construction in the form of apartments, sometimes with a view of the water. The atmosphere is functional and modern, no cosy neighbourhood cafés on every corner, but also no busy shopping streets. It is a neighbourhood you drive through rather than wander around.
The population is young and highly educated: the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, 66% have a high level of education and the average income is €65,400, well above the Amsterdam average. Single-person households dominate strongly with 715 of the approximately 1,405 residents. That characterises the neighbourhood: it is not a family neighbourhood, but a place for young professionals who appreciate the proximity to the centre and good public transport connections.
That accessibility is indeed a strong point. Spaklerweg metro station and Amstel station are a short bike ride away, getting you to Amsterdam Central or the Zuidas within ten minutes. The A10 and A2 are quickly reachable via the Gooiseweg. For daily groceries you can go to supermarkets in the immediate vicinity towards Amstel station, and Amstelpark is within cycling distance for those seeking some green space. Schools are limited in the neighbourhood itself; for a full range of schools you have to rely on adjacent neighbourhoods.
The resident score for Weespertrekvaart currently stands at 5.5 out of 10, based on one review. Resident Fabiënne writes: "I have lived here for less than six months and had high expectations, unfortunately they were not met and I feel unsafe in the neighbourhood." The sub-scores partially confirm that picture: accessibility scores excellent with 9.0 and housing gets an 8.0, but safety (4.0), beauty (4.0) and amenities (2.0) score low. These are signals a potential buyer should take seriously, although the review base is limited to one rating.
Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods such as Amstelkwartier-West or Amstelkwartier-Noord, which as new-build districts have more amenities and a more complete neighbourhood structure, Weespertrekvaart feels somewhat more rudimentary. Also De Omval offers a different dynamic due to its location directly on the Amstel. For rental homes in Weespertrekvaart the supply is considerably larger, which also makes the neighbourhood popular among temporary residents and expats.
Who is a home for sale in Weespertrekvaart interesting for?
Buying in Weespertrekvaart is mainly interesting for young professionals or dual-income couples without children who value fast public transport connections and are willing to pay a premium for a modern apartment. The average of over €840,000 makes the neighbourhood less accessible for first-time buyers without existing equity or a substantial savings buffer. The narrow owner-occupied market (only 23% owner-occupied) means supply is limited and competition for popular properties is real. Those seeking more choice or flexibility can also look at homes for sale in Omval/Overamstel or set a broader search area via homes for sale in Amsterdam. Families with school-age children will find that the neighbourhood offers limited options in that regard.
