Elandsgrachtbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Lauriergracht sits in the heart of the Jordaan, one of Amsterdam's most characterful neighbourhoods. At 146 m² it is unusually spacious for the area, and the high ceilings and large windows typical of a 1858 building give it a light, airy feel. The asking price of €1,270,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but the size and location justify a premium. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.

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.

The energy label is D. In the Elandsgrachtbuurt, 21% of homes have a label D or lower, while 29% have label A. A D label means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home. The building dates from 1858, so improvements like double glazing or insulation may be possible.
Residents feel quite safe. One says: "Little to no trouble with crime." Another mentions: "I feel quite safe there, despite the crowds."
