The neighbourhood Scheepvaarthuisbuurt is a tiny, exclusive pocket between the IJ and the city centre. With just 780 residents, it's quiet by Amsterdam standards. Most homes are pre-war, and the area is dominated by singles and couples, only 60 households have children. The streets are cobbled, the architecture is monumental, and the vibe is more residential than touristy. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood.
Daily life here is wonderfully walkable. For groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a second Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. For a quick bite, AH to go is also nearby. The St. Antoniusschool (primary) is a five-minute walk, and De Witte Olifant is a bit further. The municipality Amsterdam offers everything you'd expect from a capital, but from this address, you're already in the thick of it.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Babs Persoons, Makelaarskantoor Babs Persoons B.V., and Funda.

About Prins Hendrikkade 125C, Amsterdam
The asking price is 28% above the average asking price in the Scheepvaarthuisbuurt (€1,091,667). However, this apartment is 151 m², which is 32% larger than the neighbourhood average of 114 m². The price per m² works out to about €9,272, which is below the neighbourhood average of €10,040 per m². So while the total price is high, you're getting more space for your money.
The energy label is D. In the neighbourhood, 22.2% of homes have a label D or lower, while 44.4% have A or A+. A D label means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home. You may want to consider improvements like insulation or double glazing, but the building is from 1650, so upgrades can be complex.
The nearest train station is 0.8 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That's likely Amsterdam Centraal, which gives you national and international connections.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. The closest is St. Antoniusschool (238 m), followed by De Witte Olifant (461 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 2 km away, so older children may need to cycle or take public transport.
At 151 m², this apartment is 32% larger than the average apartment for sale in the Scheepvaarthuisbuurt (114 m²). It's a spacious home in a neighbourhood where most properties are smaller, so you're getting above-average square footage.
The total number of recorded crimes in the neighbourhood is 264. Without context on population or types of crime, it's hard to judge. However, the area is central and busy, so standard city precautions apply.
