Furnished Apartments for Rent in Amsterdam Zuid / Zuidas
Amsterdam Zuid · Zuidas · Neighbourhood Guide
Zuidas is Amsterdam's answer to Canary Wharf, minus the island isolation: the Netherlands' densest concentration of law firms, banks and corporate headquarters, with Schiphol eight minutes away by train, the RAI convention centre one stop east — and, increasingly, an actual neighbourhood growing between the towers.
For working professionals, the logic is brutal in the best way. If your office is on the Financial Mile, your commute becomes a lift ride and a walk. And Zuidas is the one prestige district where new rental supply genuinely exists, in purpose-built residential towers rather than contested canal houses, though corporate demand from the hundreds of companies based here keeps the private market competitive and firmly payslip-gated.
Our furnished apartments in Amsterdam 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 Zuidas remove the friction that makes this housing market so punishing for newcomers.
The Neighbourhood
Living in Amsterdam Zuid: What to Expect
Twenty-five years ago this was a strip of grass beside the ring road; today it is where the Netherlands does its serious business. The World Trade Center anchors a district of banks, the country's biggest law firms and international headquarters, with the VU university campus and Amsterdam UMC hospital on its western flank and the RAI — one of Europe's busiest convention centres — one stop east. Between the office towers, residential quarters like Gershwin have filled in with apartment buildings, ground-floor restaurants and schools.
The honest version: Zuidas evenings are quieter than De Pijp's, the district is still building itself (the Zuidasdok works around the station will run for years yet), and nobody moves here for canal views. What you get instead is everything working: modern apartments with lifts and proper insulation, the Beatrixpark between the towers, the Amstelpark and the vast Amsterdamse Bos ten minutes south, Gelderlandplein's upscale shopping in neighbouring Buitenveldert — and De Pijp's entire restaurant scene eight minutes away on metro 52 when you want the other Amsterdam.

Getting Around
Commuting from Amsterdam Zuid
Station Zuid is the point of the whole district: direct trains reach Schiphol in eight minutes, metro 52 runs straight up the city's spine to De Pijp and Centraal, and the ring metro connects east and west. If your working life is Zuidas plus an airport, this is the only neighbourhood where the commute effectively disappears.

| Your Zuidas office | Walk within the district | ~5–10 min |
| Schiphol Airport | Train direct from Station Zuid | ~8 min |
| De Pijp | M52 — two stops | ~8 min |
| Amsterdam Centraal | M52 direct | ~12 min |
| RAI convention centre | Metro one stop, or bike | ~5 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 Amsterdam Zuid
Housing here is the newest and most functional in the city: residential towers and recent blocks with lifts, balconies, air-tight insulation and, on the right floors, skyline or park views. Our expat rentals in Zuid suit the district's own workforce: consultants, lawyers and finance professionals, medical staff at Amsterdam UMC, and teams working at the RAI or on the Zuidas.
Corporate rentals in Amsterdam Zuid should reduce admin, not create it, which matters doubly here, where the person arranging the rental is usually an HR team or a PA rather than the tenant. Everything below comes as standard, on one monthly invoice per apartment.
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
Amsterdam Zuid 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.
Is Zuidas just offices — is there anything to do after work?
More than its reputation suggests, and less than De Pijp — honestly. The tower-base restaurants and bars are lively until mid-evening on weekdays, the Beatrixpark and Amsterdamse Bos handle daylight hours, and metro 52 puts De Pijp's few hundred restaurants eight minutes away and the city centre twelve. Most of our Zuid tenants treat that metro line as their social life's front door — and appreciate coming home to a quiet street afterwards.
Should I choose Zuidas or Oud-Zuid?
Both put your Zuidas office within walking distance, so it comes down to temperament. Zuidas means modern towers: lifts, insulation, skyline views, everything new and working. Oud-Zuid means mansion streets, the museums and the Vondelpark, in buildings a century older. Professionals who want the quickest commute tend to pick Zuidas for pure convenience; families lean Oud-Zuid. We have apartments in both, so tell us your start date and we will show you the pair.
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.
