Vijzelstraatbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Prinsengracht sits in one of Amsterdam's most iconic stretches. With 137 m² of living space, it is considerably larger than the average home in the area. The building dates from 1926 and has an energy label D, so heating costs are something to budget for. At €1,450,000, the asking price is 71% above the neighbourhood average of €847,500, a premium that reflects the size and the address. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one is clearly at the upper end.
The Vijzelstraatbuurt is the heart of the canal belt, with a very high density of addresses (9,317 per km²) and a strongly urban feel. It is a neighbourhood of singles and couples: 39% of households are one-person, and only 8% have children. The average household size is 1.6. Most homes were built before 1945 (93%), and two-thirds have an A energy label, this apartment's D label is on the lower end for the area. There are no resident reviews available for this street, but the neighbourhood Vijzelstraatbuurt is known for its mix of historic buildings, shops and restaurants.
Your morning bread run is a 94-metre walk to the Albert Heijn on the corner, literally on your doorstep. For organic groceries, Ekoplaza is just around the corner. There are two primary schools within a ten-minute walk: IKC De Kleine Reus and ASVO. Secondary education is close too, with Barlaeus Gymnasium. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and practical amenities you would expect from a capital city.
