Student Room Uilenstede 32, Amstelveen - For Rent

This listing concerns an 11 m² non-self-contained student room on the second floor of Uilenstede 32 in Amstelveen. The room is delivered unfurnished, so new residents can arrange the space entirely to their own taste. An internet and TV connection is available, and the room gives access to a balcony. The building dates from 1965, has energy label E and is heated by collective central heating. The monthly rent is €469.72, consisting of a base rent of €346.45 and service costs of €123.27. Rent allowance may be available for tenants aged 18 and older, subject to the usual conditions.

The room is part of a student house with fourteen residents, where the kitchen, shower and toilet are shared with fellow students. The communal kitchen forms the central point of the house, while the bathroom facilities consist of a shared shower and toilet. Within the house, the residents select a new housemate themselves by inviting candidates to an introduction meeting, so the length of registration does not determine the order in that case. A one-off fee of €2.31 applies at the start of the rental period. The complex, Uilenstede 24-32 (even), is managed by housing corporation DUWO. The property has no garden, but the balcony offers an outdoor space of its own.

Campus Uilenstede is a student district on the edge of Amsterdam, located in the municipality of Amstelveen. Around 3,400 student homes stand side by side here, ranging from non-self-contained student rooms to self-contained student apartments. The campus offers a wide range of facilities, including a large café, a supermarket, a snack bar, a bicycle repair shop, a sports center, a theater, a pizzeria, a beauty salon and a diving school. Living on Uilenstede means being in the middle of student life connected to the VU. The campus is arranged so that daily errands, sports and social activities are all close at hand. This makes the location suitable for both students and PhD candidates.

The location combines campus life with quick connections to Amsterdam and green surroundings. The Vrije Universiteit is nearby, just over five minutes away by bike, and a similar distance by metro or tram. Within twenty minutes, the center of Amsterdam can be reached by metro, tram or bicycle. Nature lovers are also well served: within five minutes of cycling lies the Amsterdamse Bos, an area three times the size of New York's Central Park. The forest is nationally and internationally known for the rowing regattas on the Bosbaan and hosts various events and festivals throughout the year. It is a place to relax, exercise in nature or simply enjoy the greenery between study sessions.
