Haarlemmerbuurt-West, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 110 m² apartment on the Korte Prinsengracht sits in one of the city's most atmospheric canalside streets. Built in 1912, it has a C energy label, decent for a pre-war home, though heating costs are something to keep an eye on. At €995,000, the price is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €911,739, but that reflects the prime canal location. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, and this one is a rare find in this specific street.
The Haarlemmerbuurt-West is the real Amsterdam: narrow streets, historic buildings, and a constant hum of activity. Two residents describe it as 'cosy' and 'pleasant', noting that 'everything is at hand, it's the centre' and that there is 'a good atmosphere and many amenities'. They also mention that homeless people and tourists can cause nuisance, and that the neighbourhood can feel unhygienic. It's a trade-off for living in the heart of the city. The neighbourhood Haarlemmerbuurt-West is densely populated, with many singles and a mix of ages, and the average income is in line with the city centre.
Your morning coffee is just around the corner, the nearest Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, and a Jumbo is a couple of streets away. For fresh organic produce, Ekoplaza is also within a five-minute walk. Schools are close too: the Vinse School (secondary) is just around the corner, and the Burght primary school is a five-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers everything you could need, from museums to parks, all within easy reach.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via DE LA HAYE MAKELAARDIJ O.G. and is also available through other channels.
