Felix Meritisbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Herengracht sits in one of Amsterdam's most iconic stretches, where the 17th-century gables meet modern living. At 89 m² it is compact for the neighbourhood, but the energy label A is a rarity in a street where most homes date from before 1945. The asking price of €960,000 is 53% below the neighbourhood average of €2,047,568, which makes it a keen entry point into the Grachtengordel. For context, the average price per m² in the area is €13,167, so this home is priced well below that benchmark. You can compare it with other apartments in Amsterdam to see how it stacks up.
The Felix Meritisbuurt is the quiet heart of the Grachtengordel-West, with just over 2,100 residents. It is a neighbourhood of singles, 895 one-person households, and few children, so the streets are calm. Most homes are apartments, and nearly 95% were built before 1945, giving the area its characteristic tall windows and high ceilings. The atmosphere is refined but not stuffy: you are a ten-minute walk from the Jordaan's buzz, yet the Herengracht itself feels serene. There are no resident reviews available for this street, but the figures speak for themselves: a low crime rate relative to the city centre and a high density of amenities. The neighbourhood Felix Meritisbuurt is one of Amsterdam's most desirable addresses.
Your morning bread run is to Jumbo, just around the corner. For a wider selection, Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan and OBS Leonardo da Vinci. Secondary education is also close, with the Jordaan College. The neighbourhood is part of the municipality Amsterdam, which means you have the entire city on your doorstep, from museums to markets, yet the Herengracht itself remains a peaceful stretch of canal.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Nieuw Amsterdams Huys and also appears on Funda, so it is available through several channels. The asking price is €960,000 for a 1620-built apartment with an A energy label, a combination that is rare in this part of town.

About Herengracht 292C, Amsterdam
The asking price is 53% below the neighbourhood average of €2,047,568, and the average price per m² in the Felix Meritisbuurt is €13,167, while this home works out at about €10,787 per m². That makes it keenly priced, especially given the A energy label in a street where most homes are pre-1945. However, the apartment is smaller than the neighbourhood average of 168 m², so the absolute price is lower.
The Felix Meritisbuurt is a quiet, refined part of the Grachtengordel-West with 2,120 residents. It is dominated by singles (895 one-person households) and has few children. Nearly all homes are apartments built before 1945, giving the area its classic Amsterdam character. The streets are calm, yet you are a ten-minute walk from the Jordaan and within easy reach of the city centre.
The home has an energy label A, which is very efficient. In the Felix Meritisbuurt, only 12.5% of homes have label A, and 40.6% have label D or lower. So this apartment stands out as a low-energy option in a historic neighbourhood where many homes are draughty and expensive to heat.
The nearest train station is 2.0 km away. That is about a 25-minute walk or a short tram ride. The station is not named in the listing, but from the Herengracht you can reach Amsterdam Centraal in about 15 minutes by tram.
Yes, Jumbo is just 116 metres away on the same street, so it is on your doorstep. Albert Heijn is 311 metres away, and there are several other supermarkets within a five-minute walk. Daily groceries are very convenient.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan at 378 metres, OBS Leonardo da Vinci at 702 metres, and Theo Thijssenschool at 814 metres. For secondary education, the Jordaan College is 311 metres away. All are within a ten-minute walk.
The building was constructed in 1620, making it over 400 years old. That is typical for the Felix Meritisbuurt, where 94.6% of homes were built before 1945. Despite its age, the apartment has an A energy label, which is unusual for such an old building.
