The Felix Meritisbuurt

The Felix Meritisbuurt is the heart of the Grachtengordel-West, with a very high density of addresses (11,724 per km²). It's a neighbourhood of mostly pre-war buildings (94.6%) and a mix of households: many singles (895) and couples without children (385), with relatively few families (145). The area feels lively and urban, with a restaurant just around the corner and a large supermarket a couple of streets away. The neighbourhood Felix Meritisbuurt is known for its historic architecture and central location.

Life on the street

For daily groceries, you have an Albert Heijn on your doorstep, a Jumbo just around the corner, and another Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. For school runs, the 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan is a five-minute walk, and the Theo Thijssenschool Amsterdam is about a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers a wide range of cultural and recreational amenities, with a park a ten-minute walk away and a library a bit further.
