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 248-2, Amsterdam
The asking price is 42% below the neighbourhood average of €905,436, but the apartment is also half the size of the typical home in the area (50 m² vs 101 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €10,500, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €9,511 per m². So it's priced keenly for its size, but not a bargain compared to other small apartments.
Residents rate it 8.8 out of 10. They describe it as cosy, with familiar faces and a real Amsterdam feel, old canals, little shops and pubs. It's busy with tourists, but that doesn't bother most. The area feels safe despite the crowds, and public transport is good.
Ekoplaza is 283 metres away, just around the corner. Dirk and Albert Heijn are about 350 metres, a couple of streets away. So daily groceries are very convenient.
The 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan (primary) is 296 metres away, a five-minute walk. OBS Leonardo da Vinci is 367 metres. For secondary education, the nearest school is 0.6 km away.
It has energy label C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. In the neighbourhood, 29% of homes have label A, 21% label B, and 23% label C. So it's not the most efficient, but not the worst either.
The neighbourhood is very well connected. The nearest tram stop is a few minutes' walk, and Amsterdam Central Station is 2.6 km away. The area has a very high address density (11,830 per km²), so everything is close by.
In 2023, 421 crimes were recorded in the neighbourhood. That's relatively high for a city centre area, but residents say they feel safe and mention little trouble with crime.
