Felix Meritisbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Prinsengracht sits in one of Amsterdam's most iconic streets, with the buzz of the Jordaan just steps away. At 101 m² it's a comfortable size for a couple or a small family, and the 1905 building gives it that sought-after period feel. The asking price of €1,295,000 is 37% below the neighbourhood average of €2,047,568, which makes it a keen entry point for the Grachtengordel. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one is priced to move.
The Felix Meritisbuurt is a tight-knit, historic pocket of the Grachtengordel-West. With 2,120 residents and a very high density of 11,724 addresses per km², it's urban living at its most intense. Most households are single-person (895 out of 1,425), and only 145 have children, so the vibe is more professional and cultural than family-oriented. The neighbourhood Felix Meritisbuurt has no resident reviews in the data, but the area is known for its mix of galleries, boutiques and canal views.
Your daily bread run is an easy stroll: Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. For organic bits, Ekoplaza is 286 metres. School runs are short too, the 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan is on your doorstep, and OBS Leonardo da Vinci is a five-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam keeps the city well connected, with a train station two kilometres away.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Von Poll Real Estate and also appears on Pararius, so it's available through several channels.

About Prinsengracht 487C, Amsterdam
The asking price is 37% below the neighbourhood average of €2,047,568, but the apartment is also 40% smaller than the average (101 m² vs 168 m²). The median price in the Felix Meritisbuurt is €1,250,000, so this listing is close to that. Given the prime canal location and the fact that similar homes in the area sell for a median of €1,408,085, the price seems in line with the market.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war building. In the neighbourhood, 37.5% of homes have label C and 40.6% have D or lower, so this is typical. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern home.
Very convenient. The Albert Heijn is 87 metres away, Jumbo at 136 metres, and Ekoplaza at 286 metres. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including the 14e Montessorischool at 149 metres. The area is densely built with a lively street scene, and the train station is 2 km away.
The neighbourhood recorded 466 total crimes in the latest data. Given the high population density and central location, this is not unusual for an inner-city area. It's always wise to check local safety reports for the most current picture.
At 101 m², it's 40% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 168 m². However, many apartments in the historic centre are compact, and the layout makes efficient use of space. The price per m² is roughly €12,822, which is below the neighbourhood average of €13,167.
The Felix Meritisbuurt has a high proportion of single-person households (63% of all households) and few families with children (10%). The average household size is 1.5. This suggests a mix of young professionals, couples and older residents who value the central location and cultural amenities.
