Quellijnstraat 119E1
Gerard Doubuurt, Amsterdam
AreaA grand apartment on Quellijnstraat
This is a home with presence. On one of the most sought-after streets in the Oude Pijp, you get 180 m² of living space spread over one floor, a rare find in this neighbourhood of compact apartments. The 1912 building has been brought up to an A+ energy label, which is exceptional for a pre-war property. At €1,740,000, the price is well above the neighbourhood average, but then the floor area is nearly three times the typical size. For context, the average apartments in Amsterdam sell for around €8,800 per m², so this one is priced keenly given its size and efficiency.
The Gerard Doubuurt
The Gerard Doubuurt is the beating heart of the Pijp: dense, lively, and always buzzing. With over 10,000 addresses per km², it is one of the most urban spots in the city. Most homes are pre-war flats, and the population skews young, nearly half of residents are between 25 and 45. Single-person households dominate, and there are relatively few families with children. One resident sums it up: 'Everything in one neighbourhood. You can easily get out in this neighbourhood.' That is based on a single review, but it captures the spirit. For more on the area, see the Gerard Doubuurt neighbourhood.
Life on the street
Your daily routine here is wonderfully compact. For bread and basics, Dirk is just around the corner, Jumbo is a couple of streets away, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. For school runs, Basisschool Oscar Carré is a five-minute walk, and IKC De Kleine Reus is about six minutes on foot. Secondary options include the Montessori Lyceum on Van Ostadestraat, also within a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood is part of the municipality of Amsterdam, so you have the city's full range of parks, museums, and nightlife on your doorstep.
