Elandsgrachtbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Lauriergracht sits in the heart of the Jordaan, where the streets hum with a mix of locals and visitors.

The asking price of €995,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood median of €750,000, but the extra space and the canal-side setting explain the premium. For context, the price per m² is roughly in line with the local average of €9,511. See how this compares to other apartments in Amsterdam.

I think the Elandsgracht neighbourhood is great, actually the Jordaan too. Lots of familiar faces so everyone is somewhat known to each other. The Jordaan also has a large share of history with names like André Hazes, Willem Holleeder and tante Leen. In short, a nice neighbourhood where a lot happened back in the day and very nice neighbours!
Auto-translated to English by AIThis neighbourhood is really a piece of Amsterdam. Old canals, a bit messy, but cosy. You have those little shops and pubs there, a real mix of everything. By tram you're in the city centre in no time, so that's great. Tourists? Yes, you see them, but it doesn't really bother me. I feel quite safe there, despite the crowds.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's cosy here with many shops and eateries in the neighbourhood. In my opinion, my street is visited too much by loitering youths; my neighbours seem to find that cosy too. Little to no trouble with crime. Good public transport connections.
