A room on the Uilenstede campus
This is a room on the Uilenstede student campus in Amstelveen, a lively corner of the city that revolves around student life. The room is part of a larger unit where you share the living space with around fourteen others, which makes it a sociable place to live. At €765 per month, the rent sat above the average for rooms in Amstelveen, which was something to weigh up against the convenience of living right on campus. This home has not been online since 3 November 2026.
The Uilenstede neighbourhood
The Uilenstede neighbourhood is essentially the student campus of the VU, and it feels more like a village than a city district. One resident describes it as "cosy and safe" with everything within walking distance, though they note that Uilenstede is "quite outdated". Another resident says it is a place where "everyone can find their place", with a cosy atmosphere at the weekend and a quieter vibe during the week when studying takes over. Based on two reviews, the overall picture is of a friendly, close-knit community where you easily make contact with other students. The campus has a gym and a restaurant-café, and supermarkets are within walking distance.
Life on the street
For daily groceries, the Jumbo is just around the corner, and the Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away, so you won't have to carry bags far. There are also several other supermarkets within a short walk, including a Dirk and another Jumbo. For school runs, the nearest primary school is a ten-minute walk, and there are secondary schools within a similar distance, including CSB Amsterdam. The tram stop next to the campus makes it easy to get around, and the train station is about 3.4 km away. All of this sits within the municipality of Amstelveen, which has plenty to offer beyond the campus itself.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?
