Felix Meritisbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Prinsengracht sits in one of Amsterdam's most iconic streets, with the buzz of the city right outside your door. At 71 m² it's compact by neighbourhood standards, and the F energy label means heating costs will be something to factor in. The asking price of €650,000 is 68% below the neighbourhood average, a reflection of the smaller size and lower energy rating, so it's keenly priced for what it is. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price and condition.
The Felix Meritisbuurt is the heart of the Grachtengordel, with a very high density of addresses (11,724 per km²) and mostly pre-war buildings.

There are no resident reviews available for this specific block, but the area is known for its mix of residents and constant flow of visitors.

For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is on your doorstep. Two other supermarkets, another Albert Heijn and a Jumbo, are just around the corner.

About Prinsengracht 289-3, Amsterdam
The asking price is 68% below the neighbourhood average of €2,047,568, but that average is skewed by much larger homes. The median price in the Felix Meritisbuurt is €1,250,000. Given the 71 m² floor area and F energy label, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a smaller, less efficient apartment in this location.
An F label indicates poor energy efficiency, so you can expect higher gas and electricity bills compared to a modern home. The building dates from 1905, and 94.6% of homes in the neighbourhood were built before 1945, so this is typical for the area. You'll want to budget for heating, especially in winter.
Very convenient. The nearest Albert Heijn is just 46 metres away on the Prinsengracht itself. Within a five-minute walk you'll find two more supermarkets (another Albert Heijn and a Jumbo). For restaurants, there's one at 0.1 km, so eating out is literally on your doorstep.
The nearest train station is 2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short tram ride. Given the central location, most of the city is easily reachable on foot or by bike.
At 71 m² and with an F energy label, it's more suited to a couple or single person. The neighbourhood has few families, only 145 households with children out of 1,482 homes. There are primary schools within walking distance, but the apartment itself is compact.
The 71 m² floor area is 58% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 168 m². Apartments in the Felix Meritisbuurt tend to be larger, often spanning entire floors of canal houses. This one is a more modest size, which is reflected in the lower price.
