A historic apartment on Rokin
This apartment sits on Rokin, one of Amsterdam's most storied streets, in the heart of the Begijnhofbuurt. This 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 €2,500 per month, the rent sits well below the neighbourhood average, though the 61 m² floor area is also considerably smaller than the typical rental in the area. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.
The Begijnhofbuurt neighbourhood
The Begijnhofbuurt is a compact, historic enclave with just 475 residents, and the figures reflect that: 76% of households are single-person, and only 1% have children. The average household size is 1.3, so this is a neighbourhood of individuals rather than families. The area is densely built and intensely urban, with an address density of over 10,000 per km². The Begijnhofbuurt neighbourhood is one of the oldest parts of the city, and its character is shaped by centuries of history rather than modern development.
Life on the street
Daily life here revolves around the immediate surroundings. An AH to go is just around the corner, with a SPAR a couple of streets away and a Dirk and Albert Heijn within a five-minute walk. For schools, the St. Antoniusschool is a ten-minute walk, and several other primary schools are within a similar distance. The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, and a restaurant is on your doorstep. The municipality of Amsterdam offers everything else you might need, from cultural venues to parks, though the nearest park is 1.6 km away.
