Het Nieuwe Huis

Het Nieuwe Huis (Eng: The New House) is an 'American style' apartment building with a gatehouse at the Roelof Hartplein, at the head of the Van Baerlestraat in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid within five minutes walking from the museums precinct.

[2] In 1928, it was established with the aim of housing wealthy bachelors,[3] for whom it was more difficult to find a home than for families.

In 1974, the writer and poet Jan Arends committed suicide by jumping from the window of his apartment in the courtyard of The New House.

In 2015, the Het Nieuwe Huis still offers affordable accommodation for single people.

The current residents are aged 21 to 99 and enjoy the central location as well as several communal areas such as the interior garden and on the 5th floor, a shared terrace with a view on the Amsterdam Business Center Zuid.
