Geelvinckbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 17th-century apartment on Herengracht sits in one of Amsterdam's most prestigious stretches. The listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €725,000, the price is in line with the median for apartments in Amsterdam.
The Geelvinckbuurt is a tiny, exclusive enclave within the Grachtengordel-Zuid. With just 350 residents, it feels more like a village than a city centre. Most households are single-person (170 out of 230), and there are very few children. The streets are quiet, the architecture is stately, and the atmosphere is refined. No resident reviews are available for this neighbourhood.
For your morning coffee, an AH to go is just around the corner, and a SPAR is a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, IKC De Kleine Reus, is a ten-minute walk, while the Barlaeus Gymnasium is a five-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers everything from museums to markets, all within easy reach.
At the time of writing the home is listed via NOMOS on two channels: Vastgoed Nederland and Funda. The agent has not published an energy label.
