Geelvinckbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis rental apartment on one of Amsterdam's most famous canals has a refined, old-world feel.

At €3,200 per month, the rent is 24% above the neighbourhood average of €2,578, so it is on the high side compared to other rentals in the area. For context, there are currently only four apartments for rent in the neighbourhood, and the average price per m² is €29.36. See apartments in Amsterdam for more options.
