Driehoekbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Brouwersgracht sits in one of Amsterdam's most picturesque streets, with the canal right outside your window. At 65 m² it's a compact but well-proportioned home, built in 1937 and recently upgraded to an A energy label, rare for a pre-war property. The asking price of €895,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but that reflects the premium for a fully renovated home in this sought-after location. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price, and this one sits at the upper end.
The Driehoekbuurt is the quiet, residential pocket of the Jordaan, with narrow streets and historic buildings. It's a neighbourhood of singles and couples, most households are one-person, and the average household size is just 1.4. The area feels calm during the day but comes alive in the evenings, with restaurants and bars just around the corner. There are no resident reviews available for this street, but the neighbourhood Driehoekbuurt is known for its mix of locals and creative types.
Your morning bread run is a two-minute walk to the Albert Heijn on the Haarlemmerdijk, and there's an Ekoplaza organic supermarket just a couple of streets away. For school runs, the Vinse School (secondary) is a five-minute walk, and the Burght primary school is about ten minutes on foot. The neighbourhood is densely packed with amenities, restaurants are on your doorstep, and the Westerpark is a ten-minute stroll for weekend relaxation.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Keizerskroon Makelaars and Keizerskroon Makelaars - Certified Expat Broker.
