Willem Parelstraat 362

A compact studio in a new-build complex

This studio on the Willem Parelstraat is part of a recently completed development on Oostenburg, an island neighbourhood in Amsterdam's Oostelijke Eilanden. At 24 m² it is compact, but the energy label A+++ means running costs are low. The rent of €3,000 is 24% above the neighbourhood average for rentals, which reflects the new-build quality and central location. For context, the average rent for a studio in Amsterdam is lower, but this home is at the higher end of the market.

Oostenburg: a quiet island with a village feel

Oostenburg is one of the three Oostelijke Eilanden, known for its quiet streets, water views and mix of historic and new-build homes. With 3,675 residents, it is a small community where most households are single-person (1,520) and the average household size is just 1.5. The area is very urban (address density 6,440 per km²), yet it feels calm because it is an island. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, but the figures show a young population: 60% of residents are between 25 and 45. The neighbourhood Oostenburg is a sought-after part of Amsterdam East.

Daily life on the street

For your morning bread, Vomar is just around the corner, and SPAR express and Albert Heijn are a five-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: Basisschool Oostelijke Eilanden is a couple of streets away, and Alan Turingschool is also nearby. For secondary education, Montessori Lyceum Pax is about a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and leisure amenities you would expect from the capital.
