Herengracht 627-2

A canal-side apartment in the heart of Amsterdam

This apartment on the Herengracht sits in one of Amsterdam's most iconic stretches. The 17th-century building has been updated to a C energy label, so you get historic charm without sky-high bills. At €3,500, the rent is 15% above the neighbourhood average of €3,045, a premium for the address and the space. For context, that's in line with what other apartments in Amsterdam of this size typically go for.

The Rembrandtplein neighbourhood

The neighbourhood Rembrandtplein e.o. is dense and lively, with over 9,200 addresses per square kilometre. Most households are single (400 out of 620), and the average household size is just 1.4. It's a young area: over half the residents are between 25 and 45. There are no resident reviews available for this street, but the numbers paint a picture of a central, urban spot where life happens on the doorstep.

Daily life on the street

For groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and there's an AH to go a couple of streets away. Ekoplaza and SPAR are also within a five-minute walk. Primary schools are a ten-minute walk away: De Witte Olifant and ASVO are both about half a kilometre from the door. The municipality Amsterdam has plenty of options for secondary education too, though those are a bit further out.
