Furnished Apartments in Amsterdam by District

These include authenticated identification documents (like a birth certificate or marriage certificate) as well as a visa or work permit.

Old South Amsterdam Apartments

Amsterdam’s most exclusive neighbourhood, Old South is also the city’s cultural centre, being home to the fabulous Rijksmuseum and the Royal Concert Hall. It’s also a green area, encompassing the Vondelpark and Amsterdam Forest. Overall, it’s safe and prosperous, yet also home to the more relatively expensive for apartments.

If you’re looking to rent flats in Amsterdam but you fancy somewhere quieter, then Oost Watergraafsmeer might be the place for you. Its streets are treelined, there’s plenty of greenery and even garden plots for those who like growing their own food. The area is home to Amsterdam’s biggest ice rink and cemetery.

Grachtengordel is for those who want to live amongst the paradox of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, meandering canals and...red light districts. Flats in Amsterdam, specifically in Grachtengordel, are found in quaint historic buildings nestled side-by-side along the numerous canals. The Red Light District or Rossebuurt, is a major draw for tourists. It’s considered reasonably safe and is extremely busy on weekends.

Like most major cities in Europe, Amsterdam has areas which are undergoing gentrification. Oud West, historically a neighborhood for the economically-less-fortunate, is being reinvented. Inevitably, this has seen the opening of organic food shops, local produce markets and creative businesses. Two cultural hubs, OT301 and Lab111, are in the area, hosting creative events. Of course, judging the best places to live in Amsterdam is purely subjective; the best way to get to know a city is to live there yourself!

Apartment Rentals & Rooms in Amsterdam Central

Simply put, Amsterdam central is one of the liveliest hotspots in Europe. With awe-inspiring architecture, lush green spaces and a joyous attitude to life, this is a city like no other. Demand for Amsterdam central apartments is high, and rental costs are unsurprisingly the most expensive in the city - meaning you’ll have to be prepared to splash out to land a decent, reasonably-sized apartment. The majority of residents travel via bicycle, as driving through the busy narrow streets is highly impractical and incredibly costly. In fact, there are 800,000 bikes in Amsterdam - that’s more bikes than people! The GVB public transport system is also incredibly efficient and will get you from A to B in no time. Welkom!

Canal Belt Apartments

The Canal Belt has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it’s not difficult to see why. The bustling canals encompass Amsterdam’s most important cultural, historical, artistic and culinary sites and act as the life-giving arteries of the city, and coffee shops, antique dealers and trendy bars all add to the area’s unique charm. A typical day will see barges saunter up and down the waterways as throngs of cyclists and pedestrians stroll by along the sidewalks. Many Canal Belt apartments are set inside beautiful, centuries-old buildings that usually boast spacious rooms, high ceilings and some amazing views of the city.

Pet Friendly Amsterdam Apartments

If you’re hoping to bring any pets along with you to Amsterdam, we’d advise checking if each individual apartment has a “pets allowed” policy. While many specify either way, some may not state their pet policy but will still disagree to allow pets. If you have your eyes on a particular apartment that doesn’t outline its policy towards pets then it's best to get in touch with the landlord yourself.

What documents are needed to rent an apartment in Amsterdam?

If you’re not an EU/EEA/Swiss citizen the first thing you’ll need to do to live in the Netherlands is be granted a residency permit. When renting in Amsterdam you’ll need to give proof of identification (passport or valid driving license), and providing evidence of income will significantly boost your chances of landing an apartment. In terms of contracts, tenancy agreements can be concluded for fixed periods of time and amended at the discretion of the tenant and landlord. Tenants’ rights are well protected in Dutch law, so it’s important that you read through your tenancy agreement carefully and keep it in a safe place just in case you have future disputes with your landlord. Two months’ rent as a security deposit is usually required.
