Scheldestraat
Wielingenbuurt, Amsterdam
AreaA room on the Scheldestraat
This rental room on the Scheldestraat sits in the Wielingenbuurt, a pocket of Amsterdam that feels more like a village than a city district. This listing does not state a house number, postcode, 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 €1,600 a month, the rent sits well below the average for rooms in Amsterdam, so it is keenly priced for the area.
The Wielingenbuurt
Residents give the neighbourhood a warm 8.38 out of 10, based on two reviews. One resident says: "Very pleasant, quiet neighbourhood, close to the city, main roads and green spaces. Feels like a village in the city." Another adds: "Lots of green, good amenities, quiet street where kids can play." Both mention the busy traffic on the Scheldestraat as a downside, and one notes that rubbish bins are often too full. The area is home to many single-person households, and the mix of ages gives it a steady, lived-in feel. For more on the area, see the Wielingenbuurt neighbourhood.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy from here. Ekoplaza is just around the corner, with Aldi a couple of streets away and several Albert Heijn branches within a short walk. For school runs, the Dongeschool is a couple of streets away, while secondary options like Mediacollege Amsterdam and College ZUYD are also close by. The Beatrixpark is nearby for green space, and the shopping streets of the Scheldestraat, Maasstraat and Beethovenstraat are all within walking distance.

Frequently asked questions
About Scheldestraat, Amsterdam
Why is the rent so much lower than other rentals in the area?
The rent for this room is €1,600 a month, which is about 40% below the neighbourhood average of €2,650. That average covers all rental properties in the Wielingenbuurt, not just rooms, so the comparison reflects the wider market rather than similar listings. Rooms typically rent for less than whole homes, which helps explain the gap.
How quickly do rentals go in this neighbourhood?
Homes in the Wielingenbuurt are rented out in an average of 21 days. That gives a sense of the pace of the local market, though individual properties can move faster or slower depending on their specifics. For this room, the listing does not state a floor area or other details, so its own timeline is hard to predict.
What is it like to live in the Wielingenbuurt?
Residents describe it as a quiet, child-friendly neighbourhood that feels like a village in the middle of the city. The Beatrixpark is close by, and the Maasstraat is around the corner for shopping. The main drawback mentioned is the busy traffic on the Scheldestraat, which residents say can create dangerous situations.
What amenities are within walking distance?
Ekoplaza is just around the corner, with Aldi a couple of streets away and several Albert Heijn branches within a short walk. The Dongeschool is close by for primary education, and secondary schools including Mediacollege Amsterdam and College ZUYD are also nearby. The Beatrixpark offers green space, and the Scheldestraat, Maasstraat and Beethovenstraat shopping streets are all within walking distance.

How far is the nearest train station?
