Vijzelstraatbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis monumental apartment on the Keizersgracht is a rare find: 906 m² of living space in a 1670 building, right on Amsterdam's most famous canal. 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 €11,250,000, the asking price is far above the neighbourhood average of €847,500, but then, this is no ordinary apartment. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in size and price.
The Vijzelstraatbuurt is the heart of the Grachtengordel-Zuid, a UNESCO-listed area with narrow streets, historic buildings and a lively mix of shops and cafés. It is densely populated, over 9,000 addresses per km², and most homes are pre-war. Two-thirds of homes have an A energy label, but a third are D or lower. The neighbourhood has no resident reviews on, so we cannot share local opinions. The area is popular with singles and couples; many households are one-person. The Vijzelstraatbuurt neighbourhood is known for its central location and canal views.
Daily shopping is easy: an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Ekoplaza is a couple of streets away. For a quick bite, there are restaurants on your doorstep. Primary schools include IKC De Kleine Reus, a five-minute walk away, and the Barlaeus Gymnasium secondary school is also within walking distance. The nearest park or public garden is a five-minute walk. The central station is about 2.5 km away, so you might cycle or take a tram. The municipality of Amsterdam offers all the cultural and culinary options you would expect from the capital.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Van Baerle Makelaars and Funda. The agent has not published an energy label, so that detail is missing from the listing.
