Felix Meritisbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Prinsengracht is a piece of Amsterdam's Golden Age. Built in 1880, it sits in the heart of the Grachtengordel, with 174 m² of space and an energy label G, so expect high heating costs. The asking price of €1,250,000 is 39% below the neighbourhood average of €2,047,568, which is keen given the size and location. For context, that's in line with the median price for apartments in Amsterdam.

About Prinsengracht 495-2, Amsterdam
The asking price is 39% below the average asking price in the Felix Meritisbuurt (€2,047,568) and exactly matches the median. Given the 174 m² and prime canal location, it's priced keenly compared to other listings in the neighbourhood.
Label G is the least efficient rating. You can expect high energy costs for heating and hot water, especially in a 19th-century building with large windows. The neighbourhood has 40.6% of homes with label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.
The nearest train station is 2 km away. That's about a 25-minute walk or a short tram ride.
The Felix Meritisbuurt has relatively few families: only 145 households with children out of 1,425. Most residents live alone. There are primary schools within walking distance, but the area is more popular with couples and singles.
There are 44 apartments currently for sale in the Felix Meritisbuurt, with prices ranging from €350,000 to €9,500,000. The average price per m² is €13,167, so this apartment at €7,184 per m² is below average.
The Prinsengracht is a major canal in the city centre, so it's not quiet in the sense of a suburban street. However, the Felix Meritisbuurt is one of the quieter parts of the canal belt, with less through traffic than the main thoroughfares.
