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 Laurierstraat 20H, Amsterdam
The asking price is 43% above the neighbourhood average of €905,436, but the apartment is also 53% larger than the average home in the Elandsgrachtbuurt (155 m² vs 101 m²). The energy label A is another plus in an area where most homes are pre-war. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value space and efficiency in this central location.
An A label means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low heating and electricity bills compared to older properties. In the Elandsgrachtbuurt, only about 35% of homes have an A or better label, so this is a clear advantage.
