Spiegelbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Prinsengracht sits in one of Amsterdam's most iconic streets, with the buzz of the city right outside your door. At 65 m² it's compact, but the 1727 building gives it character you won't find in a new build. The asking price of €685,000 is 58% below the neighbourhood average of €1,648,105, a keen entry point for the Spiegelbuurt, where most apartments in Amsterdam are larger and pricier.
The Spiegelbuurt is a tiny enclave within the Grachtengordel-Zuid, with just 890 residents. It's a mix of singles (350 one-person households) and couples, with few children. The streets are quiet by Amsterdam standards, yet you're steps from the Leidseplein and the Rijksmuseum. No resident reviews are available, but the area is known for its antique shops and peaceful atmosphere. The neighbourhood Spiegelbuurt is one of the city's most desirable addresses.
For your morning bread, the AH to go is on your doorstep, and a full Albert Heijn is just around the corner. The SPAR and Jumbo are a couple of streets away. For school runs, the Barlaeus Gymnasium is a five-minute walk, and several primary schools, like IKC De Kleine Reus and the 14e Montessorischool, are within a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam provides all the cultural amenities you'd expect, from museums to theatres.
