A room in De Eenhoorn
This was a room for rent on the Eerste Ringdijkstraat in De Eenhoorn, a lively pocket of Amsterdam where the streets were full of students and young professionals. At €896 a month, it sat well below the average rent in the area, which made sense given the size. The price was 49% under the neighbourhood average of €1,752, so it was keenly priced for what was on offer. For context, rooms in Amsterdam give you a sense of what else is out there. This home has not been online since 28 September 2026.
The De Eenhoorn neighbourhood
De Eenhoorn is a compact neighbourhood with a young, transient feel. Most households are single people, and the age profile skews heavily towards the 25-45 bracket, with a good share of students too. It is not a place dominated by families, so the rhythm of the area is more about work, study and social life than school runs. The housing stock is almost entirely rental, which keeps the turnover high and the streets busy. The De Eenhoorn neighbourhood page has more on the local mix.
Life on the street
The Eerste Ringdijkstraat sits close to the daily essentials. A Vomar supermarket is just around the corner, with an AH to go and a Lidl a couple of streets away, so grabbing groceries is never a chore. For schools, the Pieter Nieuwland College is a couple of streets away, and the Integraal Kindcentrum De Kaap is about a ten-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk too, which makes getting around the city straightforward. The municipality of Amsterdam page covers the wider area.

Frequently asked questions
About Eerste Ringdijkstraat 594, Amsterdam
Was €896 a fair price for this room?
The rent was 49% below the neighbourhood average of €1,752, but the room was also smaller than the typical rental in the area. At 43 m², it is 39% smaller than the average of 71 m². The price reflected that trade-off, so it was on the keen side for what you get.
How does the energy label C affect the room?
The energy label is C, which is an official registration from EP-Online. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself, only about its official energy performance.
What is the neighbourhood like for a student?
De Eenhoorn is heavily skewed towards young adults, with 54% of residents aged 25-45 and 28% aged 15-25. Most households are single people, so the area has a student-friendly, transient feel. The housing stock is almost entirely rental, which keeps the streets lively and the turnover high.
How quickly do rentals go in this area?
Rentals in De Eenhoorn are typically let within 17 days on average. That is a fairly quick turnaround, so the market here moves at a steady pace. It is worth being prepared if you are serious about a place.
What is close by for daily shopping?
A Vomar supermarket is just around the corner at about 360 metres, with an AH to go and a Lidl both within a few hundred metres. An Albert Heijn is about 635 metres away, so there are plenty of options for daily groceries without going far.
