Amsterdam runs one of Europe's tightest housing markets, coliving rooms typically $1,500-2,500, and the city's housing-permit rules make new supply scarce. The scene clusters around Oost, Noord and De Pijp, with strong overlap between coliving and the international student / expat-tech crowd. Best months are April-June and September. US citizens have an unusually easy route via the DAFT (Dutch-American Friendship Treaty); everyone else needs the Highly Skilled Migrant or intra-company route.
