Anonymous on May 28, : Being said Amsterdam is the cheapest city in Europe. Any migrants are welcome, we need more people here. How do the people feel about Mexican migrants going into their country?

Amsterdam is surprisingly expensive Kallli on Apr 22, : Last year the prices on houses dropped. Anyone can afford a house or apartment for decent price. The cost of living is decreasing over 5 years.

To be honest, if there are issues these are mostly with stubborn locals there are nice and stubborn people everywhere, I don't put it down to their origin. Also, I quite enjoy the quirkiness and the exotic food that comes with it. If you like croquettes and stropwaffels every day, thats up to you. I really like Couscous and Indian food. As to the costs of living, Amsterdam and the entire Randstad around it are really crazy expensive.
To be honest, many locals that we know are really struggling even when they have good jobs. Forget having a big car to ferry the kids around or to go on cross European trips unless its officially a campervan or at least 20 years old, as by that time your tax will be reduced.

We make a family income of about 65K and we are not saving anything, we have two little children, one car and pay a very reasonable mortgage as it is outside of Amsterdam.

Being realistic about the awful situation in Amsterdam isn't the same as being negative. The migrant problem is getting worse by the day though it's true that it's definitely worse in other EU countries , but we all know that there are people living in bubbles like you all over Europe who continue to pretend everything is just fine.

I'm so sick of the political situation in Amsterdam and the Netherlands, so I only briefly read about the latest debacle before getting nauseous and having to give up, but there are people in Amsterdam who want to scrap the mayoral election and have a specific group of people hand pick the mayor, as they suspect a right-wing mayor might be elected, since an increasing number of people are getting fed up with the migrant problem.
So yeah, they want to scrap democracy in order to uphold violence. Bob on Jan 11, : Amsterdam is a very overpriced city. The prices as high as in London. The average price for rent of 2bedrooms is - EUR. The food price is huge, eating out and at home cost a lot. People working on decent jobs pay high taxes so all money goes.

I would like that people would help me when war breaks out here. But a lot of Dutch people are very negative and forget the humanity aspect of things. That aside, Amsterdam is still completely fun to live in. I live in the South which is a pretty expensive place to buy a home compared to the city center it is a bit cheaper but still one of the most expensive parts.
Buying a home is atm much more expensive than is listed. Our house is recently valued at for 79 m2. Do have to say it is luxuriously built.
But Probably will even get overbid. So outside city center 80m2 house will cost you in good areas or something, cheaper areas and up. The housing market is crazy here atm. For a family home with like 4 bedrooms expect to pay up to a million not kidding.
It is crazy to buy. The rest of the prices I find accurate. Your use of this service is subject to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. What are you looking for? Compare Amsterdam with:.
