Leidsegracht-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Beulingstraat sits in the heart of the canal belt, a stone's throw from the lively Leidseplein. Built in 1719, the home has a classic Amsterdam floor plan with high ceilings and plenty of character. At 64 m² it is compact, and the asking price of €549,000 is well below the neighbourhood average, partly because the home is smaller than most in the area. Compared to other apartments in Amsterdam, this is a keen entry point into the Grachtengordel.
Leidsegracht-Zuid is a tiny, exclusive pocket of the canal district with just over 700 residents. It is a neighbourhood of singles and couples, most households are one-person, and there are very few children. The streets are quiet by Amsterdam standards, yet you step out onto some of the city's best restaurants and bars. The area has no supermarkets on its doorstep, but the daily essentials are a couple of streets away. For a sense of the local vibe, the Leidsegracht-Zuid neighbourhood page has more details.
Your morning bread run is a five-minute walk to the Jumbo on Leidsestraat, or you can pick up fresh produce at the SPAR or Albert Heijn a little further along. For school runs, the 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan is a ten-minute walk away, and secondary options like Barlaeus Gymnasium are similarly close. The area is dense with restaurants, you are never far from a good meal. The municipality of Amsterdam oversees the city's amenities and public spaces.
