217 Rooms for Rent in Amsterdam for Working Professionals

Amsterdam is the capital and with its ~1 million inhabitants the largest city in the Netherlands. It is located in the province of North Holland, in the middle of the Randstad and therefore close to most major cities in the Netherlands, making it an attractive city for people who want to study, are looking for a job at a nice company or simply want to live in a beautiful city.

Highlights in Amsterdam are the famous Canal Ring, which is full of world-famous monumental buildings from the Golden Age. Artists from this time such as Van Gogh also make Amsterdam an attractive city for art lovers. And besides all this, Amsterdam is also known as the cycling capital of the world.

Unfortunately, Amsterdam, like many cities in the Netherlands, has a major housing shortage. You can see this in the small amount of available housing and the very high average rent of €1070 and price per square meter of €75.38 for rooms in Amsterdam. For those looking for a room in Amsterdam, it is recommended to try Room Ranger, as we combine all available rooms and therefore found 217 rooms for you in Amsterdam last week.

Young professionals are done with studying and have started working fulltime, due to this they often look for serenity and privacy which you can't find in a student house.

Young professionals often look for serious and mature housemates, or rather their own place without housemates, with a preference for a quiet living environment.

Because a lot of the available rooms are aimed at students, it can sometimes be more difficult for young professionals to find a suitable place. Still, Room Ranger found 217 suitable places last week, sign up with Room Ranger so you can always be the first to respond.

A “room” refers to a room in a shared house. This means you’ll share a front door and, in some cases, a bathroom, kitchen, and living room with one or more roommates. Rooms are the most affordable option for living in Amsterdam because you can share many expenses, such as an internet subscription, city taxes, etc. Furthermore, some tenants specifically choose a room because they enjoy not living alone in a house.

Shared houses in Amsterdam are often occupied by people who found each other through the hundreds of Facebook groups created online for this purpose or through other online platforms, such as Kamernet or MyHospi. On average, in Amsterdam you share your home with 2 roommates. Shared homes are often occupied by people between the ages of 18 and 35; the average resident in Amsterdam is 30 years old.

Rooms are usually assigned through “hospitations”—a day when current residents invite one or more people for an introductory interview and then choose their future roommate. With Room Ranger, you can be sure you’ll be notified of all new rooms so you never miss a hospitation.
