NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Brouwersgracht sits in one of Amsterdam's most beloved canals. At 48 m² it is compact, but the location is hard to beat.

The Driehoekbuurt is the quiet, residential corner of the Jordaan. With 2,730 residents and a high proportion of single-person households (1,285), the area feels lively yet intimate. Most homes are pre-war, and the streets are lined with independent shops and cafés. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, but the figures speak for themselves: a dense, urban environment with a strong sense of community.

Your morning bread run is just around the corner at Ekoplaza or Albert Heijn. For primary schools, Basisschool Westerpark is a ten-minute walk away, and Montessori Basisschool de Eilanden is about the same distance. Secondary education is closer still, with Vinse School just a couple of streets away. The area is packed with restaurants and a park is a short stroll away. All of this falls within the municipality of Amsterdam.

About Brouwersgracht 623, Amsterdam
The asking price of €500,000 is 40% below the average asking price in the Driehoekbuurt (€833,897) and also below the median (€595,000). However, the apartment is smaller than average (48 m² vs 71 m²) and has an energy label D, while most homes in the neighbourhood have better labels. Given the location, the price is keen but reflects the compact size and energy performance.
The energy label is D. This means the home is moderately efficient; heating and electricity costs will be higher than in a modern, well-insulated home. In the Driehoekbuurt, 18.2% of homes have a label D or lower, so it is not unusual for a pre-war apartment.
The nearest train station is 1.8 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle ride.
The Driehoekbuurt is a quiet part of the Jordaan with a high density of single-person households. It has a village-like feel within the city, with many independent shops and cafés. The area is very urban (address density 10,768 per km²) and has a low crime rate relative to the city centre.
The floor area is 48 m², which typically accommodates one or two rooms, but the exact layout is not provided.
