Amsterdam family houses with a garden are easier to find outside the canal ring, in three districts built during the 20th century.

Watergraafsmeer, in Amsterdam Oost, has 1920s and 1930s houses on quiet streets around Park Frankendael, close to Amstel station and Science Park. Betondorp, its concrete garden village, is where Johan Cruijff grew up.

Amsterdam-Noord has the city's tuindorpen, garden villages such as Tuindorp Oostzaan and Tuindorp Nieuwendam, built in the early 20th century as worker housing with small front and back gardens. Metro line 52 takes parents from Noord to the center under the IJ.

Nieuw-West was built after the Second World War around the Sloterplas lake and the Sloterpark, with flats, terraced houses and wide green strips between the blocks. The A10 ring road and the trams link it to the center.

82% of Amsterdam house listings state that you can register at the address. Each member of the household registers with the gemeente Amsterdam within five days of moving in, by appointment from abroad and online with DigiD from elsewhere in the Netherlands.

A new Amsterdam house lease is open-ended by default: since 1 July 2024 Dutch law makes the indefinite contract the rule, with exceptions such as student and youth contracts. 1% of house listings are aimed at students, so a group of students will find more options among student houses in Amsterdam and rooms in Amsterdam.
