Johannes Vermeerbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 2022-built apartment on Pieter de Hoochstraat sits in Amsterdam's prestigious Museumkwartier, where 19th-century architecture meets contemporary luxury. At €3,950,000, the asking price is 16% above the neighbourhood average of €3,391,667, a premium that reflects the recent construction and generous 232 m² floor plan. For context, the area has only three apartments currently for sale, and recent sales averaged €2,008,933 over 57 days. This is a rare, high-end offering in a market where apartments in Amsterdam of this calibre seldom appear.
The neighbourhood Johannes Vermeerbuurt is a quiet, leafy pocket of the Museumkwartier, home to around 1,510 residents. It's a mix of families and professionals, about a quarter of households have children, and the average household size is 1.9. The area is densely built (8,948 addresses per km²) but feels serene, with Vondelpark and the Museumplein just a short stroll away.

About Pieter de Hoochstraat 11D1, Amsterdam
The asking price is 16% above the neighbourhood average of €3,391,667, but this is a new-build (2022) with 232 m², while many homes in the area are pre-war. Recent sales averaged €2,008,933, though those were likely smaller or older properties. Given the scarcity of supply (only three apartments for sale) and the premium finishes, the price is on the high side but reflects the home's modern luxury.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means low heating costs and a modern building standard. In the Johannes Vermeerbuurt, all homes currently for sale have label C, so this apartment outperforms the local stock.
The nearest train station is 2.6 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short tram ride. The area is well served by trams and buses, making it easy to reach Amsterdam Centraal or Schiphol.
Several schools are within walking distance: Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam (172 m), Sweelinck College (296 m), and Basisschool Het Museumkwartier (471 m). There are also multiple primary schools within a five-minute walk.
Currently, only three apartments are for sale in the Johannes Vermeerbuurt, with prices ranging from €900,000 to €7,480,000. This indicates a very tight market with limited choice.
