WG-terrein, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis listing is for a room on the Overtoom in Amsterdam, but it does not state a house number, floor area, year of construction or energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the room itself. At €1,183 per month, the rent is in line with the average for rooms in Amsterdam.
The Overtoom runs along the edge of WG-terrein, a neighbourhood that feels like a small village within the city. Two residents have shared their experiences. One says: "Nice people but dirty place and stench of exhaust gases, very busy and noisy." Another says: "My experience in the neighbourhood as a 21-year-old student is limited because I don't need to be there much; I would like to be more in touch with the neighbourhood, but that might be down to me, I don't know how. School and the facilities are pleasant and I feel at ease when I walk around." The area is densely built up with mostly flats and a high proportion of single-person households. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood WG-terrein.
For daily groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. There are also several schools nearby: Huygens College for secondary education is a five-minute walk, and primary schools like Cornelis Vrijschool and Kindcentrum De Kinkerbuurt are within walking distance. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the amenities you'd expect from a major city.
At the time of writing the room is listed only via Kamernet.
