Amsterdam neighbourhood rankings

The cheapest neighbourhoods in Amsterdam (2025)

All 385 residential buurten ranked by average WOZ property value, lowest first, using the municipality's official valuations (2025). A low average mostly means smaller homes and more social housing rather than a bargain on the open market, but it is the honest starting point for where Amsterdam is still affordable.

Amsterdam average: €524.416

How this list is made

  • Source: average WOZ value per buurt (BBGA indicator WWOZ_GEM), most recent published year (2025).
  • Buurten with fewer than 500 residents are excluded.
  • Averages follow the housing mix: areas with mostly small flats or much social housing rank low even where free-market prices per square metre are unremarkable.
  • This list refreshes automatically when the municipality publishes a new year.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest neighbourhood in Amsterdam?

By average WOZ value, Riekerhaven (Westlandgracht) has the lowest average in 2025: €30.583 per home.

Does a low WOZ average mean homes are cheap to buy there?

Not directly. The average reflects the housing stock: small flats and social housing pull it down, and little of that stock may be for sale. Use the list to spot affordable areas, then check actual listings.
