Bloemgrachtbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment sits on one of the prettiest canals in the Jordaan, with a sunny aspect and a quiet feel despite being in the thick of things. At 113 m² it's a generous size for the area, and with an A energy label it's unusually efficient for a 1875 building. The asking price of €1,125,000 is 47% above the neighbourhood average of €765,625, but you're paying for a larger-than-average floor area and a top-tier label, it's on the high side, but in line with what this spec commands. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, and this one stands out for its combination of space and efficiency.
The Bloemgrachtbuurt is the heart of the Jordaan: narrow streets, canal views, and a lively mix of independent shops, cafés and galleries. It's densely populated, over 12,000 addresses per km², and mostly flats (93% of homes are apartments). The area is popular with singles and couples; average household size is just 1.5 people. There are no resident reviews available for this street, but the neighbourhood is known for its village-like atmosphere within the city. For more on the area, see the Bloemgrachtbuurt neighbourhood.
Your daily bread run is a two-minute walk to Dirk on the corner, and Albert Heijn is just around the corner too. For school runs, Basisschool Dr. Rijk Kramer is on your doorstep, and the 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan is a five-minute walk. Secondary options include Het Cartesius Lyceum, a ten-minute walk away. The neighbourhood is part of the municipality of Amsterdam, which means excellent public services and a vibrant cultural scene right outside your door.

About Bloemgracht 197H, Amsterdam
The asking price is 47% above the neighbourhood average of €765,625, but this apartment is also 31% larger than the average (113 m² vs 86 m²) and has an A energy label, which is rare for a 1875 building. Comparable homes in the Bloemgrachtbuurt sell for a median of €622,500, but those are typically smaller and less efficient. Given the size and label, the price is on the high side but reflects what you get.
The Bloemgrachtbuurt is very walkable: a Dirk supermarket is on your doorstep, and several Albert Heijn branches are within a five-minute walk. Primary schools like Basisschool Dr. Rijk Kramer are just around the corner, and there are plenty of restaurants and cafés within a couple of streets away. The area is densely built up with mostly apartments, so it's lively and convenient.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient for a home built in 1875. This means heating costs should be relatively low compared to older properties in the neighbourhood, where 80% were built before 1945 and many have lower labels. The label is based on the actual insulation and installations of this specific apartment.
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle.
The Bloemgrachtbuurt has a high proportion of single-person households (about 43%) and few families with children (around 13%). The average household size is 1.5, and the area is popular with professionals and couples who value the central location and canal-side living.
