Elandsgrachtbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1934 apartment on the Laurierstraat sits in the heart of the Jordaan, where the streets hum with history and everyday life. At 54 m² it's compact, but the layout makes the most of the space. The asking price of €465,000 is notably below the neighbourhood average of €905,436, partly because the home is smaller than the typical 101 m² in the area.

The Elandsgrachtbuurt scores an 8.79 out of 10 from residents, based on three reviews. One resident says: "I think the Elandsgracht neighbourhood is great, actually the Jordaan too.

You have those little shops and pubs there, a real mix of everything." The area is densely built and very urban, with mostly pre-war housing and a mix of ages, many singles, but also families with children. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Elandsgrachtbuurt.

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 27-1, Amsterdam
The asking price of €465,000 is 49% below the average asking price in the Elandsgrachtbuurt (€905,436). However, this apartment is also 47% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 101 m². Given the size and the energy label E, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a compact Jordaan apartment.
The energy label is E. That means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, about 29% of homes have label A, while 21% have label D or lower, so this apartment falls on the less efficient side.
Residents rate the Elandsgrachtbuurt highly (8.79/10). They mention a cosy atmosphere with familiar faces, a mix of shops and pubs, and good public transport. The area is very urban with a high density of addresses. You'll find supermarkets, schools, and restaurants within walking distance.
