Furnished Apartments for Rent in Jordaan
Jordaan · Amsterdam Centrum · Neighbourhood Guide
The Jordaan is the Amsterdam of postcards — narrow streets named after flowers, seventeenth-century canal houses on the Bloemgracht and Brouwersgracht, brown cafés that have been pouring since the 1600s — except people actually live here, quietly, a ten-minute walk from Dam Square.
Demand never lets up for a reason. The Jordaan is consistently one of Amsterdam's three most expensive rental neighbourhoods, with free-sector rents running 20–30% above the city average and private listings drawing dozens of responses within days of going live. Renting a furnished apartment here skips that queue entirely.
Our furnished apartments in the Jordaan are built for corporate clients, tech professionals, and expats who need a proper base. Every home is let on a residential tenancy agreement for an indefinite period. You can give one calendar month's notice once the initial period in your agreement has passed. When you move in, you register in the BRP at the address.
Every apartment arrives fully furnished and ready to live in from day one. Whether your employer is relocating you or you are managing your own move, our monthly rentals in Amsterdam Jordaan remove the friction that makes this housing market so punishing for newcomers.
The Neighbourhood
Living in the Jordaan: What to Expect
Built in the 1610s as a working-class quarter alongside the canal ring, the Jordaan spent three centuries crowded and poor before becoming what it is now: the most characterful residential neighbourhood in the Netherlands. The scale never changed — streets barely wide enough for a delivery van, hidden hofjes (almshouse courtyards) behind unmarked doors, and the Westerkerk's carillon marking the hours.
Day to day, it is calmer than its fame suggests. The eastern edge around the Anne Frank House is busy; two streets in, you are among galleries, bakeries and neighbours who have lived here for decades. For expat housing, the Jordaan suits people who want the centre of Amsterdam without living in a thoroughfare. Evenings here are for a table at a brown café, not a stag party.

Getting Around
Commuting from the Jordaan
The Jordaan has no metro station, and that is part of why it remained quiet. What it has instead: trams 13 and 17 along the Rozengracht straight to Centraal, tram 5 on the Marnixstraat running directly to Station Zuid for Zuidas, and a location so central that most of the city is a walk or a bike ride.
| Destination | Route | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Amsterdam Centraal | Tram 13 / 17 via Rozengracht | ~8 min |
| Dam Square | Walk across the canal ring | ~10 min |
| Leidseplein | Tram 5 from Marnixstraat | ~5 min |
| Zuidas (business district) | Tram 5 direct to Station Zuid | ~20 min |
| Schiphol Airport | Tram + train via Centraal | ~30 min |
💡 Registration Matters More Than You Think
You register in the BRP at the address within five days of moving in. We send you the instructions before your tenancy starts. Your BSN follows from registration. That's your citizen service number, and it unlocks Dutch banking, healthcare and payroll, so it's the first thing to sort out once you have the keys. Our BRP registration guide walks you through it.
Housing
Corporate and Expat Rentals in the Jordaan
Jordaan apartments are unlike anywhere else in the city: canal-house proportions, original beams, and views that estate photography does not need to flatter. Our expat rentals in Amsterdam Jordaan pair that character with the practical requirements of international professionals, because corporate rentals in Amsterdam should reduce admin, not create it.
One- and two-bedroom layouts here suit couples and solo tenants; historic buildings mean stairs rather than lifts, so tell us if step-free access matters and we will steer you to the right property. Whatever the layout, the move-in is identical: inspected, professionally cleaned, and ready to work from on day one.
All-Inclusive Utilities
Energy, water, high-speed internet and municipal charges bundled into one predictable monthly invoice. Simple for expense reporting and corporate rental budgets.
Furnished Workspaces
A proper desk, comfortable chair and fast Wi-Fi in every apartment, so remote and hybrid work starts on move-in day, not after a trip to a furniture store.
BRP Registration
You register at the address when you move in.
Common Questions
Jordaan Rentals: Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the monthly rent?
Everything you need to live and work: full furnishing, energy, water, high-speed internet, municipal charges and a dedicated workspace — on a single monthly invoice.
How well connected is the Jordaan for commuting?
Better than its cobblestones suggest. Trams 13 and 17 reach Amsterdam Centraal in around 8 minutes, tram 5 runs directly to Station Zuid for Zuidas in around 20, and Schiphol Airport is roughly 30 minutes door to door via Centraal. Within the centre, almost everything is walkable.
Isn't the Jordaan too busy to live in?
The eastern edge around the Anne Frank House is busy; the rest is one of the most settled residential areas in the city. The streets belong to the people who live in them, and from the day you move in that includes you.
Is there a rent reduction?
Yes, two. Agree a four-month initial period and your monthly rent is 10% lower for the whole tenancy. Tenancies starting between 1 November and 28 February have a 10% lower monthly rent for the whole tenancy. Both apply together when you qualify for both.
Do I register with the municipality?
You register in the BRP at the address within five days of moving in. We send you the instructions before your tenancy starts. Your BSN follows from registration.
When can I give notice?
Every home is let on a residential tenancy agreement for an indefinite period. You can give one calendar month's notice once the initial period in your agreement has passed.
