Location

The neighborhood has an incredibly pleasant feel – like a small village in the middle of the city. Neighbors know each other, greet one another on the street, and children play together outside. Vechtstraat is wider than most surrounding streets and features a green strip right out front. Thanks to its broad layout, the street enjoys plenty of sunlight throughout the day. Many residents make the most of this, dining or having drinks on benches outside – adding to the area’s unique charm.

All daily amenities are within walking distance: Bakker Remko’s bakery is just around the corner and opens early for freshly baked bread. Supermarkets Albert Heijn, Vomar, Aldi, as well as Etos and HEMA, are all nearby. You’ll also find delightful lunch spots such as Alles voor de Lunch and cozy cafés like Café de Nada, along with several excellent restaurants. For green relaxation, Martin Luther King Park and the Amstel River are just minutes away – perfect for a walk or a bike ride out of the city into nature. Cycling the other way, you’ll reach De Pijp, Utrechtsestraat, or Oost in under ten minutes.

In terms of accessibility, this is a prime location – conveniently situated between RAI Station and Amstel Station. The A10 ring road can be reached within minutes, making the property easily accessible by car as well. The area is also ideal for families, with excellent schools, plenty of childcare options, and after-school programs all within walking distance.

A neighborhood where life takes place outdoors, where neighbors know each other, and where sunlight, calm, and liveliness meet every day – that’s life on the Vechtstraat.
