I think the Elandsgracht neighbourhood is great, actually the Jordaan too. Lots of familiar faces so everyone is somewhat known to each other. The Jordaan also has a large share of history with names like André Hazes, Willem Holleeder and tante Leen. In short, a nice neighbourhood where a lot happened back in the day and very nice neighbours!
Auto-translated to English by AIThis neighbourhood is really a piece of Amsterdam. Old canals, a bit messy, but cosy. You have those little shops and pubs there, a real mix of everything. By tram you're in the city centre in no time, so that's great. Tourists? Yes, you see them, but it doesn't really bother me. I feel quite safe there, despite the crowds.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's cosy here with many shops and eateries in the neighbourhood. In my opinion, my street is visited too much by loitering youths; my neighbours seem to find that cosy too. Little to no trouble with crime. Good public transport connections.

About Rozenstraat 175-1, Amsterdam
The asking price is 48% below the average asking price in the Elandsgrachtbuurt (€905,436), but the apartment is also smaller (50 m² vs 101 m² average) and has an energy label G. Compared to other apartments in the neighbourhood, the price per m² is around €9,500, which is in line with the local average of €9,511. So the price is keen for the size, but the energy label means higher monthly costs.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, indicating poor insulation and high energy consumption. You can expect significantly higher heating and electricity bills compared to a home with a better label. In the Elandsgrachtbuurt, most homes for sale have labels A or B, so this apartment stands out as less efficient. It is worth factoring in these costs when budgeting.
The Elandsgrachtbuurt is very central, with supermarkets like Albert Heijn, Ekoplaza and Dirk within a five-minute walk. There are many restaurants and cafés on your doorstep. Primary schools are close by, and public transport connections are good, with trams taking you to the city centre quickly. Residents describe it as cosy and safe, though busy with tourists.
The neighbourhood has good tram connections, and the nearest train station is 2.6 km away. Buses and trams run frequently, making it easy to reach other parts of Amsterdam. The city centre is just a short tram ride away.
The nearest park or public garden is about 0.8 km away, a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood itself is dense and urban, with canals and streets rather than large green areas. For more space, the Vondelpark is within walking distance.
Residents feel quite safe despite the crowds. One review mentions little to no trouble with crime, though another notes loitering youths on their street. The total number of reported crimes in the neighbourhood is 421, which is moderate for a central Amsterdam area.
