Are you looking for mid-priced or free sector rental properties in Amsterdam? Then there is good news. Because there is a new phase in rental in new construction project SPOT, in the new city district Hondsrug Park at Amsterdam Southeast. The buildings in question are Scarlet and Terra. The rents of the medium-rent apartments start at 940 euros per month. The free sector apartments rent from 1,415 euros per month. Be quick though, the online registration closes Sunday, Nov. 2 (11:59 p.m.).
SPOT consists of seven residential towers at or near the Hondsrug Park (yet to be constructed), for which the new neighborhood is named. Two buildings will contain owner-occupied apartments; the other towers will contain rental housing. Throughout SPOT there will be 823 rental apartments with social, medium and free sector rents. After the successful leasing of earlier phases (with a total of 521 rental apartments), new apartments are now again for lease. These are apartments in the Scarlet and Terra towers. A brief overview of the housing offer:
Special: 11 apartments in Terra are two-story and are located on the first floor + second floor. These maisonettes are great for combining living with working. Rents range from 1,230 to 1,745 euros per month (excluding service charges).
The apartments in both buildings have two or three - and in some cases four - rooms and a private outdoor space. Usually this is a balcony, but it can also be a loggia. The apartments are delivered with a completely finished kitchen, bathroom and toilet, and with walls ready to be papered. There is also a videophone that allows you to see who is ringing the doorbell downstairs. And thanks to a combination of district heating, thermal storage, heat recovery, good insulation and underfloor heating and cooling, they are also very comfortable and energy efficient. The latter saves (with normal consumption) in your energy bill.
Good to know: if you've lived in Amsterdam Southeast for at least six consecutive years in the past ten years and want to move to a rental property in SPOT, you may (possibly) have priority over other applicants. People with key professions (such as healthcare, education or security) may also have priority in some cases. During the application process, you will come across the questions about this naturally. The priority, by the way, only applies to medium-priced rental housing.
SPOT is in demand (in part) thanks to its ample supply of rental housing. But there's another reason: you'll soon have the "buzz" of the big city here. Even stronger: SPOT is called 'a city within the city'. Because where there are currently still mainly offices, in the near future you will walk past (for example) cafes, coffee bars, meeting rooms, co-working spaces, a gym, a supermarket, a toko and maybe even a spa. All just around the corner from your apartment. Also nearby: an elementary school and daycare. And a little further away: shopping center Amsterdamse Poort and major crowd-pullers like Afas Live, the Ziggo Dome and the Johan Cruijff ArenA?
Do you prefer to find your entertainment a little further away, for example in the city center? Then take the train, subway or bus at nearby Bijlmer-Arena Station. That's about an eight-minute walk away. The metro also stops even closer: at Station Bullewijk (about a six-minute walk).
But maybe you've just had enough of all the city bustle for a while. In that case, you will soon be able to settle down on a mat or a bench in the Hondsrug Park, which is expected to run through the new neighborhood in two years. And for even more space and greenery, just bike out of town. In ten minutes you can be at the Ouderkerkerplas nature and recreation area. De Ronde Hoep, a vast polder and quiet area, is also a ten-minute bike ride away.
