Scheepvaarthuisbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis rental apartment sits on Binnenkant, a quiet street in the heart of Amsterdam's historic centre. The 73 m² home dates from 1884 and carries an energy label B, so it's both characterful and reasonably efficient. At €2,750 per month, the rent sits about 20% below the neighbourhood average of €3,440, a keen price for a central apartment, especially when you consider that the average rental in the area is for much larger homes. For context, the supply of apartments in Amsterdam varies widely, but this one stands out for its combination of size and value.
Scheepvaarthuisbuurt is a tiny, densely populated enclave with just 780 residents. It's a place of singles and couples: 40% of households are one-person, and only 8% have children. The area is intensely urban (over 6,400 addresses per km²), so you're surrounded by restaurants, cafés and the buzz of the city centre. There are no resident reviews available for this street, but the neighbourhood's character is clear: historic buildings, narrow streets and everything you need within a few minutes' walk. The neighbourhood Scheepvaarthuisbuurt is one of Amsterdam's oldest quarters, with the IJ harbour just a stone's throw away.
Your morning bread run is easy: an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a SPAR is a couple of streets away. For primary schools, St. Antoniusschool is on your doorstep, and De Witte Olifant is a five-minute walk. The nearest secondary school is about 2 km away, so older children will need to cycle or take public transport. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and practical amenities you'd expect from a capital city, from museums to markets, all within easy reach.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via 27 Huis Makelaars BV.

About Binnenkant 20D, Amsterdam
Yes, it's competitive. The average rent in Scheepvaarthuisbuurt is €3,440, so this apartment is about 20% cheaper. However, the average rental home in the neighbourhood is 219 m², so this 73 m² flat is much smaller. For a central Amsterdam apartment of this size, the price is in line with what you'd expect.
The energy label is B, which is good for a building from 1884. It means the home is reasonably energy-efficient, so your heating bills should be manageable. You won't face the high costs associated with older, uninsulated properties.
The nearest train station is about 800 metres away, a ten-minute walk. That gives you direct connections to other parts of Amsterdam and beyond.
Excellent. An Albert Heijn is just 300 metres away, and a SPAR is about 500 metres. For a quick bite, there are restaurants within 300 metres. The area is very walkable, with most daily needs met within a few minutes.
Binnenkant is a relatively quiet street in the centre, but the neighbourhood as a whole is lively and urban. With over 6,400 addresses per km², you'll hear city sounds. If you want total peace, this might not be it, but for central Amsterdam it's fairly calm.
The listing does not state the number of bedrooms. With 73 m², it could be a one- or two-bedroom layout, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
