Westelijke eilanden, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Realengracht sits in one of Amsterdam's oldest neighbourhoods, with a 17th-century building that gives it instant character. 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 €1,230,000 for 88 m², the price per square metre is in line with the local market, though the home is 30% smaller than the neighbourhood average. Compared to other apartments in Amsterdam, this is a premium offering in a historic setting.
The Westelijke eilanden are a quiet, leafy pocket within the bustling city. With just under 2,900 residents, it feels intimate. Most households are singles (about 1,150), and there are few children, so the vibe is more adult and professional. One resident calls it 'very nice neighbourhood', a simple but genuine endorsement. The area is densely built, with a high address density of over 7,800 per km², typical of central Amsterdam. It's a place where you trade space for location and charm. For more context, see the Westelijke eilanden neighbourhood.

Montessori Basisschool de Eilanden is practically on your doorstep, making the school run a breeze. De Zeeheld primary school is a five-minute walk, and for secondary education, Vinse School is a ten-minute walk.
