A room on Weesperplein
This rental room sits right on Weesperplein, one of Amsterdam's livelier squares, with the Amstel canal just a short stroll away. This listing does not state a house number, postcode, floor area, year of construction or energy label.

Frequently asked questions
About Weesperplein, Amsterdam
Is €1,200 a fair price for this room?
The rent is €1,200 per month, which is 72% below the neighbourhood average of €4,274 for rental properties. That average covers all rental homes in the area, not just rooms, so the comparison is rough. Still, the price is noticeably lower than the typical asking rent in the Sarphatistrook, which makes it an attractive option for someone looking for a room in central Amsterdam.
What is the neighbourhood like to live in?
The Sarphatistrook is a central, urban neighbourhood with a young population. Around 61% of households are single people, and the area has a lively, transient feel. The streets are busy and the square brings a constant hum of activity. It is a practical base for students or young professionals who want to be in the middle of the city rather than in a quiet residential suburb.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is two kilometres from the room. That is a manageable distance for occasional journeys, though for daily commuting you would likely rely on the tram or metro network that serves the area. The exact walking or cycling time depends on your route, but the station is within reasonable reach for trips across the city.
What supermarkets are nearby?
There is an AH to go just around the corner at 123 metres, which is handy for quick purchases. A SPAR is 280 metres away, and an Albert Heijn is 340 metres from the room. For a wider choice, there are more than 150 supermarkets within five kilometres, so you will never be far from a full grocery shop.
Why are there no property details in this listing?
Kamernet has published only the street and price for this room. As a result, the exact location within the street and some neighbourhood figures may differ from the actual room.
What schools are near this room?
Several primary schools are within easy walking distance. The Dr. E. Boekmanschool is 318 metres away, OBS Aldoende is 413 metres, and ASVO is 417 metres. For secondary education, the Metis Montessori Lyceum is 747 metres from the room. The area is well served for families, though the neighbourhood itself has relatively few households with children.
