A classic Amsterdam apartment on Alexander Boersstraat
This apartment on Alexander Boersstraat sits in the heart of the Concertgebouwbuurt, a stone's throw from the Museumplein. The 1895 building has a classic Amsterdam facade, and the home itself is a generous 125 m². At €4,475 per month, the rent is on the high side compared with the neighbourhood average of €3,955, but the floor area is 42% larger than the typical 88 m² in the area. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price, so this one sits at the upper end.
The Concertgebouwbuurt
The Concertgebouwbuurt is a quiet, residential pocket between the Vondelpark and the Museumplein. It is a mix of families and older residents, with a notably high share of single-person households. The streets are lined with grand 19th-century buildings, and the atmosphere is calm despite the central location. The Concertgebouwbuurt neighbourhood is known for its cultural neighbours, including the Concertgebouw itself. The area has a small, local feel, with a handful of shops and cafés dotted around.
Life on the street
Daily life here is easy. For groceries, the Albert Heijn on the corner is just around the corner, and a SPAR is a couple of streets away. For school runs, Basisschool Het Museumkwartier is on your doorstep, and the Cornelis Vrijschool is just around the corner. A secondary school, Sweelinck College, is a five-minute walk. The Vondelpark is a ten-minute stroll, and the Museumplein is even closer. The municipality of Amsterdam offers everything else you might need, from museums to markets.

Frequently asked questions
About Alexander Boersstraat 31-2, Amsterdam
Is €4,475 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is above the neighbourhood average of €3,955, but the floor area of 125 m² is 42% larger than the average of 88 m². The price per square metre works out to about €35.80, which is below the neighbourhood average of €56.19 per m². So while the total rent is high, the space you get for it is comparatively good value.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration, recorded in the national energy label register. A C label is in the middle of the scale, meaning the home is neither particularly efficient nor particularly inefficient.
