Leidsebuurt-Noordoost, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 177 m² apartment on Prinsengracht sits in the heart of Amsterdam's lively Leidsebuurt-Noordoost. Built in 1690, it has an F energy label, so expect high heating costs. At €1,915,000, the asking price is 65% above the neighbourhood average of €1,160,906, partly explained by its size, which is 77% larger than the typical 100 m² in the area. For context, that's a premium for a spacious home on one of Amsterdam's most famous canals. Compare with other apartments in Amsterdam.

But there's also plenty of cosiness and always something to do!" They note that neighbours aren't very involved with each other. The neighbourhood Leidsebuurt-Noordoost has a young population, with most residents between 25 and 45.

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.
