Leidsegracht-Noord, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 17th-century apartment on the Prinsengracht is a rare find: 229 m² of living space in one of Amsterdam's most iconic locations. The price of €3,150,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but that reflects the exceptional size and the historic setting. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, and this one stands out for its generous proportions.
This tiny, exclusive enclave between the Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht is home to just 715 people, mostly in one-person households. The area is densely urban, with over 10,000 addresses per km². There are no resident reviews available, but the neighbourhood Leidsegracht-Noord is known for its historic buildings and quiet canalside streets. The average income is high, and the population is predominantly between 25 and 45.
Your daily routine here is a pleasure: bread and pastries from the nearby Albert Heijn just around the corner, or organic finds at Ekoplaza a couple of streets away. For school runs, the 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan is a five-minute walk, and the Barlaeus Gymnasium is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers world-class culture and dining, with a restaurant just around the corner.

About Prinsengracht 611A, Amsterdam
The asking price is 53% above the neighbourhood average of €2,063,846, but this apartment is also 55% larger than the average (148 m²). The price per m² works out at about €13,755, which is below the neighbourhood average of €15,889 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting more space for your money.
The energy label is C, which is reasonable for a 17th-century building. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have label A, so this is less efficient than many. You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme.
Leidsegracht-Noord is extremely central, with supermarkets like Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza within a few minutes' walk. There are several primary and secondary schools nearby, and the area is packed with restaurants and cafes. The train station is 2.3 km away, so you would cycle or take a tram.
The neighbourhood recorded 205 total crimes in the latest data. Given the small population of 715, that is relatively high, but it is a very central area with a lot of foot traffic. Most crime is likely petty theft and nuisance.
The building dates from 1681, so it is over 340 years old. The energy label C suggests some modernisation has been done, but you should expect the quirks of a historic property, high ceilings, large windows, and possibly limited insulation.
The nearest park or public garden is 0.7 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The Vondelpark is a bit further, but the canals themselves offer a green feel.
