Uilenburg, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment sits on one of Amsterdam's oldest quays, the Oudeschans, in the heart of the city. Built in 1848, it's notably older than many homes in the area, a real piece of history. At 67 m² and with an A energy label, it combines character with modern efficiency. The asking price of €750,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €664,684, but that reflects the premium for a well-insulated home in a prime spot.

About Oudeschans 79B, Amsterdam

However, this home has an A energy label, which is rare in an area where 50% of homes have label A and 13.6% have A+. The 1848 building is also older than most, adding character.

Uilenburg is a small, quiet neighbourhood with about 1,255 residents. It's very urban (address density 6,711 per km²) but feels peaceful because it's a residential island. Most households are single people, and the largest age group is 25 to 45. There are few children, so it's not a family-oriented area. The streets are historic and calm, yet the centre is a short walk away.
The nearest train station is 1.6 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. This gives you direct connections to other parts of the city and beyond.
For groceries, Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza are both 150 metres away, just around the corner. There's also an AH to go at 343 metres. For primary education, De Witte Olifant is 71 metres away, St. Antoniusschool at 319 metres, and Dr. E. Boekmanschool at 837 metres. Secondary schools are further, at 2 km.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means lower heating costs and a smaller environmental footprint. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have label A and 13.6% have A+, so this home is among the better-performing ones. An A label is a strong selling point, especially in an older building.
