A canal-side apartment on the Prinsengracht
This rental apartment on the Prinsengracht sits in the heart of Amsterdam's canal belt, a setting that feels distinctly historic. The listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €3,250 per month, the rent sits below the neighbourhood average of €3,579, which is keen for a 104 m² apartment in this part of town. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price, but this one is in line with what the canal belt typically commands.
Leidsegracht-Zuid
Leidsegracht-Zuid is a compact pocket of the Grachtengordel, with just 735 residents. It is a predominantly adult area: 58% of households are single-person, and only 11% have children, so the streets tend to be quiet and the pace unhurried. The age spread leans towards the 25-45 bracket, which gives the area a working, urban feel. The Leidsegracht-Zuid neighbourhood is known for its classic canal houses and narrow streets, and the mix of residents reflects that. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here comes from the statistics alone.
Life on the street
Daily life here revolves around the canal and its immediate surroundings. For groceries, an AH to go is on your doorstep, while a full Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a SPAR and a Jumbo are a couple of streets away. For school runs, the Barlaeus Gymnasium is a five-minute walk, and the 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan is a couple of streets further. The area is part of the municipality of Amsterdam, which means all the city's amenities are within easy reach, from museums to markets.
