Rent a Home in Westwijk, Amstelveen

Westwijk is the western expansion of Amstelveen, developed from the early nineties onwards. The district has approximately 15,400 inhabitants and is divided into Westwijk-Noord and Westwijk-Zuid. It is a planned family-friendly neighborhood with wide streets, spacious plots, and more greenery than the older districts closer to the center. Residents here have the Amsterdamse Bos within walking distance and Amstelveen's city center a ten-minute bike ride away.

Planned and Spacious

Westwijk was built with the lessons learned from earlier post-war neighborhoods in mind. The streets are wider than in Middenhoven or the older Amstelveen districts. Parking spaces were incorporated into the design. Playgrounds are available in every neighborhood. The homes are larger than those in the city center, with gardens that would be unimaginable in the city centers of Amsterdam or Amstelveen.

Westwijk-Noord and Westwijk-Zuid each have their own neighborhood structure but share the same character: quiet, green, family-oriented. The district has its own facilities, primary schools, and sports complexes.

The Amsterdamse Bos

The western edge of Westwijk borders the Amsterdamse Bos. This is an advantage that few other residential areas in the region have. The Bos is a forest area of nearly 1,000 hectares, created in the 1930s. Walking, running, cycling, swimming in the Bosbaan. From Westwijk, you can walk directly into it.

This location makes Westwijk attractive for families and people who want to combine nature and city living without having to travel far. The Bos extends to Amsterdam, making the district accessible for Amsterdammers without having to enter the city.

What You Rent

The free-sector rental market in Westwijk predominantly consists of single-family homes with gardens and larger apartments in apartment buildings on the edges of the district. Those seeking a rental home with a garden in the Amsterdam region have a better chance in Westwijk than in most other districts within commuting distance of the city.

The district is primarily an owner-occupied area. The free-sector rental market offer is more limited than in Amstelveen's city center. React quickly when something becomes available.
