A room on the NDSM terrein
This is a room on Kraanspoor, a striking spot on the NDSM terrein in Amsterdam-Noord. The listing does not state an energy label, so the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €786 per month, the rent sits well below the neighbourhood average of €2,149, which makes sense for a room rather than a whole flat. For more context, you can compare it with other rooms in Amsterdam.
The NDSM terrein neighbourhood
The NDSM terrein neighbourhood is a former shipyard turned creative hub, with a young, energetic crowd. Most residents are between 25 and 45, and the vast majority live alone, so it feels like a place of students and starters rather than families. The area has a raw, industrial character, with street art, cultural venues and a lively waterfront. It is a place where you are more likely to bump into a designer or a musician than a neighbour with a pushchair.
Life on the street
For daily groceries, the nearest PLUS supermarket is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within a short stroll, including Kindcentrum De Baanbreker and OBS Blijhaven, though with so few families here, the school run is not exactly a rush hour. The nearest train station is 6.7 km away, so you will rely on the ferry or a bus to get into the centre. It is a practical base for anyone studying or working in the north of the city, within the municipality of Amsterdam.

Frequently asked questions
About Kraanspoor 27C6, Amsterdam
Is €786 a fair price for this room?
The rent is 63% below the neighbourhood average of €2,149, but that average covers all rental homes, not just rooms. For rooms specifically, the average in the area is €765, so this room is slightly above that. Given the 26 m² floor area, the price is in line with what rooms go for around here.
Why are there no property details in this listing?
Roommatch has published only the street and price on their site.
How does the size of this room compare to others in the area?
At 26 m², this room is 65% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 74 m² for rental homes. That is a compact space, typical for a room rather than a self-contained flat. It is worth considering whether the size suits your needs before viewing.
What is the neighbourhood like for young people?
The NDSM terrein is dominated by people aged 25 to 45, with 72% of residents in that age group. Most households are single-person, and there are very few children. It is a creative, industrial area with a strong cultural scene, so it attracts students and young professionals.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest PLUS supermarket is about a kilometre away, which is a short walk. An Albert Heijn is 1.4 km away, and a Jumbo is 1.8 km. For a room without a car, the PLUS is the most convenient option for everyday shopping.
