AreaA studio on the Admiralengracht
This studio on the Admiralengracht sits in the Balboaplein e.o. neighbourhood, a lively pocket of Amsterdam where the streets are busy and the shops are close. This listing did not state an energy label, so the running costs were not known. At €1,200 a month, the rent sat well below the neighbourhood average, which made it a keen option compared with other studios in Amsterdam. This home has not been online since 15 October 2026.
The Balboaplein e.o. neighbourhood
Based on two reviews, residents describe the area as reasonably cosy and lively. One resident says: "There are many shops in the neighbourhood, where you can get almost everything. It is reasonably clean and tidy, and traffic is fairly quiet." Another adds: "Everything is within reach. There were many shops, supermarkets and other amenities in the immediate vicinity." The mix of students, working people and social housing tenants creates a pleasant dynamic, though the bustle might be less suited to young children. The neighbourhood is easily accessible, and the speed limit is set to drop to 30 km/h, making cycling safer. Most households are single people, and the area is densely built, with little greenery. That is the picture painted by the Balboaplein e.o. neighbourhood.
