Leidsebuurt-Zuidwest, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 65 m² apartment on Marnixstraat sits in the lively Leidsebuurt-Zuidwest, right in the thick of Amsterdam's energy. The 1888 building has been brought up to an A energy label, so you get the charm of a 19th-century facade without the draughts. At €650,000, the price is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €1,145,000, partly because the floor area is 49% smaller than the typical 127 m². For context, that's in line with what you'd pay per m² for apartments in Amsterdam.
This tiny neighbourhood has just 165 residents, mostly singles (70%) and young adults aged 25-45 (45%). It's a dense urban pocket with an address density of 9,890 per km², about as city-centre as it gets. There are no reviews from residents in the data, but the figures speak for themselves: a very strong urban feel, with restaurants on your doorstep and a park just a couple of streets away. The neighbourhood Leidsebuurt-Zuidwest is all about convenience and being in the middle of things.
For your morning bread, AH to go is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn and Lidl are both within a five-minute walk. Schools are close too: OBS Leonardo da Vinci (primary) is a five-minute walk away, and Barlaeus Gymnasium (secondary) is about the same distance. The municipality Amsterdam offers everything you'd expect from a capital, culture, dining, and transport links, though the nearest train station is a ten-minute walk away.
