Furnished Apartments for Rent in Oud-Zuid
Oud-Zuid · Amsterdam Zuid · Neighbourhood Guide
Oud-Zuid is Amsterdam at its most composed: stately mansion apartments on leafy avenues, the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Concertgebouw arranged around Museumplein, and the Vondelpark as your local green. It is where the city's senior professionals, diplomats and relocating families choose to live — and where supply is scarcest.
The numbers back the reputation. Oud-Zuid sits at the very top of the Dutch rental market: the highest average rents in the entire Randstad, with private-sector two-bedroom apartments averaging around €2,800 a month and the best apartments gone within days. A furnished apartment here means arriving into that market with the keys already in hand.
Our furnished apartments in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid 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 Oud-Zuid remove the friction that makes this housing market so punishing for newcomers.
The Neighbourhood
Living in Oud-Zuid: What to Expect
Oud-Zuid was built between the 1880s and the 1930s as the city's grand expansion southward — first the mansion streets of the Museumkwartier and Willemspark, then Berlage's Plan Zuid, which gave the Apollobuurt its distinctive Amsterdam School brickwork. The result is a neighbourhood of wide avenues, mature trees and apartments with the proportions the rest of Amsterdam envies: high ceilings, big windows, actual hallways.
The rhythm is unhurried. Mornings mean a run around the Vondelpark or coffee on the Cornelis Schuytstraat; weekends mean the Concertgebouw, whose free Wednesday lunchtime concerts are one of the city's better-kept secrets, or ten minutes on a bike to the centre. Families settle here for the schools and the calm; executives for the fact that Zuidas is close enough to walk. The museum crowds come for the day and are gone by dinner.
