Passeerdersgrachtbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with presence. On the Passeerdersgracht, one of the quieter canals in the Jordaan, you get 250 m² of living space spread across a classic 1847 building. The asking price of €3,675,000 is on the high side, 190% above the neighbourhood average, but then this apartment is 143% larger than the typical home in the area. For context, the average price per m² in the Passeerdersgrachtbuurt is €16,006, so you are paying a premium for size and location. If you are looking at apartments in Amsterdam, this is a rare offering.
This tiny neighbourhood, just 935 residents, sits in the heart of the Jordaan. It is densely built and very urban, with over 10,000 addresses per km². Most homes date from before 1945 (82%), and the area is popular with singles: 425 one-person households, and only 60 households with children. The average household size is 1.5. There are no resident reviews available for this street, so the picture comes from the data: a quiet, central pocket of Amsterdam where most homes are rented (63%) and the few that come to market sell in about 37 days. The neighbourhood Passeerdersgrachtbuurt is a stone's throw from the Nine Streets and the Prinsengracht.
Your daily rhythm here is pure Amsterdam. For bread and basics, AH to go is on your doorstep, Ekoplaza is just around the corner, and a full Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. For schools, OBS Leonardo da Vinci and the 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan are both a five-minute walk. Secondary schools are close too: Huygens College and Barlaeus Gymnasium. The nearest train station is 2.6 km away, not a walk, but a short tram ride. The municipality Amsterdam offers everything else you could need.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Broersma Wonen and Funda. The asking price reflects the exceptional size and location, so if you are in the market for a spacious canal apartment, this is one to watch.

The energy label is C. That is a decent score for a building from 1847, in fact, 46% of homes in the neighbourhood have label C, and only 23% have A or better. A C label means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs. It is not the most efficient, but given the age and character of the building, it is a fair result.
The nearest train station is 2.6 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short tram ride. For a central Amsterdam location, many residents rely on cycling or walking.
The Passeerdersgrachtbuurt has very few families, only 60 households with children out of 935 residents. Most households are singles (425) or couples without children (145). The area is more suited to professionals and couples who enjoy the central location and cultural amenities. Schools are nearby, but the neighbourhood itself is not particularly family-oriented.

It is one of the largest homes available in the Passeerdersgrachtbuurt, where the maximum asking price among current listings is €4,400,000. The average price per m² is €16,006, so the size is a key factor in the price.
The neighbourhood recorded 99 total crimes in the latest data.
