Weesperbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 138 m² apartment on the Nieuwe Achtergracht sits in one of Amsterdam's most historic streets, with the canal right outside your window. Built in 1836, it has a classic Amsterdam feel with high ceilings and plenty of natural light. The price of €1,450,000 is 30% above the neighbourhood average of €1,118,586, which reflects the generous floor area, 53% larger than the typical Weesperbuurt apartment. For context, that's a premium you pay for space in a city centre where most apartments in Amsterdam are considerably smaller.
The Weesperbuurt is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a very high address density (8,115 addresses per km²). It's a mix of students, young professionals and older residents, over a third of households are single-person, and only about 200 households have children. The area has a lively, central feel with restaurants just a couple of streets away and a park within a five-minute walk. Crime figures are moderate for a city centre (250 total offences). There are no resident reviews available for this street, but the neighbourhood Weesperbuurt is known for its canal views and proximity to the Plantage district.
For your morning bread, a SPAR is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. There are two primary schools within a few streets: Dr. E. Boekmanschool and ASVO, both about a five-minute walk. Secondary schools are a ten-minute walk, with the Metis Montessori Lyceum. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural amenities you'd expect, museums, theatres and the Artis zoo are all within easy reach.

About Nieuwe Achtergracht 27H, Amsterdam
The asking price is 30% above the neighbourhood average of €1,118,586, but the apartment is also 53% larger than the typical Weesperbuurt home (138 m² vs 90 m²). On a per-square-metre basis, the price works out to about €10,507, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €11,390 per m². So while the total price is high, you're getting more space for your money compared to other homes in the area.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war building. In the Weesperbuurt, about 39% of homes have label C, and 76.7% were built before 1945. A C label means the home is reasonably efficient but not as economical as a modern A or B label. You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short tram ride. Amsterdam's central stations are well connected, but you'll need to factor in that distance for daily commuting.
There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: Dr. E. Boekmanschool (302 m) and ASVO (397 m). For secondary education, the Metis Montessori Lyceum is about 800 m away, a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood has a good selection of schools, with over 200 within 5 km.
Currently, there are 29 apartments for sale in the Weesperbuurt, with prices ranging from €350,000 to €9,250,000. The median price is €725,000, so this apartment is at the higher end. Homes in this area sell relatively quickly, the average time on market for sold properties is 32 days.
The Weesperbuurt has a low proportion of families, only about 200 households with children out of 1,830 homes. Most residents are singles or couples without children. The area is very urban with a high density, so it's more suited to those who enjoy city life rather than a quiet suburban family environment.
