Prinsengracht 534-2

A canal-side apartment with history

This apartment on the Prinsengracht sits in one of Amsterdam's most iconic stretches. At 133 m² it's a generous size for the centre, and the 1670 construction gives it genuine Golden Age character. Energy label B is a solid result for a building of this age. The asking price of €975,000 is 16% below the neighbourhood average of €1,160,906, which makes it a keen proposition compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.

Leidsebuurt-Noordoost: lively and central

The neighbourhood Leidsebuurt-Noordoost is dense and urban, with an address density of 9,487 per km². Most homes date from before 1945 (89%), and the area is dominated by single-person households (505 out of 735 homes). One resident describes it as "Lively": "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!" They note that neighbours aren't very involved with each other. The average home value in the area is high, and incomes tend to be above average.

Daily life on the Prinsengracht

For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and there's an AH to go equally close. Ekoplaza and SPAR are also within a couple of streets away. The Barlaeus Gymnasium is a five-minute walk, and primary schools like IKC De Kleine Reus and the Cornelis Vrijschool are within a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers everything you'd expect from a world city, with restaurants, museums and parks all on your doorstep.
