A compact room on the NDSM terrein
This is a 26 m² room in a 2016 building on Kraanspoor, right in the creative heart of Amsterdam's NDSM terrein. The listing does not state an energy label, so the rest of this page focuses on the street and the neighbourhood rather than the home's efficiency. At €786 per month, the rent sits 63% below the neighbourhood average of €2,140, which makes sense for a room rather than a full apartment. For context, rooms in Amsterdam give you an idea of what similar rooms go for across the city.
The NDSM terrein neighbourhood
The NDSM terrein neighbourhood is a former shipyard turned cultural hotspot, with a young, transient population. Of the 4,265 residents, 72% are between 25 and 45, and 72% of households are single-person, so this is very much a place of students and young professionals. The housing stock is almost entirely rental, with only 6% owner-occupied. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here comes from the statistics rather than personal accounts.
Life on the street
Daily life here revolves around the NDSM wharf, with its street art, food trucks and creative businesses. For groceries, the nearest PLUS supermarket is just under a kilometre away, with an Albert Heijn about 1.4 km from the door. There are several primary schools within a short walk, including Kindcentrum De Baanbreker and OBS Blijhaven, both around 850 m away. The nearest train station is 6.7 km off, so you would rely on the ferry across the IJ to reach the city centre. The municipality of Amsterdam runs the ferry service that connects this area to the rest of the city.
