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.

About Lauriergracht 118C, Amsterdam
The asking price of €475,000 is 48% below the neighbourhood average of €905,436, but the apartment is also 53% smaller than the average home in the area. Given the compact size and central location, the price is in line with what you would expect for a 47 m² apartment in the Jordaan.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home built in 1903. You can expect moderate heating costs, but older buildings often benefit from thick walls that retain heat. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels: 29% are A, 21% B, and 23% C.
The nearest train station is 2.6 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short tram ride. The neighbourhood has good tram connections, so getting to the station is straightforward.
The Elandsgrachtbuurt has a mix of residents, but only 8% of households have children, so it is not a typical family area. Most homes are small apartments, and the streets are busy with tourists and locals. Schools are nearby, but the area is more popular with singles and couples.
Residents report feeling safe despite the crowds. One says: "I feel quite safe there, despite the crowds." Another notes "little to no trouble with crime." The total number of recorded crimes in the neighbourhood is 421, but this is in line with a dense urban area.
You have several supermarkets within a five-minute walk: Ekoplaza, Albert Heijn, Dirk, and Jumbo. Restaurants are on your doorstep (0.1 km), and a GP is 0.5 km away. The neighbourhood is full of small shops and eateries, as residents mention.
The price is below the neighbourhood average, and the area is popular with renters due to its central location. However, the apartment is small, and the energy label C may affect long-term costs. The market data shows 55 homes for sale and 139 sold recently, indicating steady demand.
