Leidsebuurt-Noordoost, Amsterdam
This is a home with presence. On one of Amsterdam's most famous canals, the Prinsengracht, this 177 m² apartment sits in a 1690 building, the kind of address that comes with history and a sense of occasion. At €2,350,000, it is the most expensive of the 16 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and 102% above the average asking price of €1,160,906. That puts it on the high side, but the size and location are exceptional. For context, see other apartments in Amsterdam.
This is a lively, urban pocket of Amsterdam. One resident describes it as 'Lively', adding: 'It's incredibly busy here, which has both advantages and disadvantages. There's a lot of noise and few rules because of it. But there's also plenty of cosiness and always something to do!' The neighbourhood is densely built, with a very high address density of 9,487 per km². Most homes are apartments, and the area is popular with singles and young professionals, 45% of residents are between 25 and 45. The average household size is just 1.4. This is the Leidsebuurt-Noordoost neighbourhood in a nutshell: vibrant, busy, and full of energy.
Daily life here revolves around the city's pulse. For groceries, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a SPAR is a couple of streets away. For a quick bite, an AH to go is on your doorstep. Schools are close too: Barlaeus Gymnasium is a couple of streets away, and primary schools like IKC De Kleine Reus are within a five-minute walk. The area is part of the municipality of Amsterdam, so everything the city offers, from museums to restaurants, is within easy reach.

It's incredibly busy here, which has both advantages and disadvantages. There's a lot of noise and few rules because of it. But there's also plenty of cosiness and always something to do! I think it's a shame that the residents are not at all involved with each other. This would be the biggest point for improvement.

The asking price is 102% above the neighbourhood average of €1,160,906 and is the highest of the 16 homes currently for sale in Leidsebuurt-Noordoost.

The energy label is F, which is the second-lowest label on the scale. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively high heating and electricity costs.
