Leidsegracht-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Singel is a rare chance to own a piece of Amsterdam's Golden Age. Built in 1718, it sits on one of the city's most famous canals, with the buzz of the Negen Straatjes just around the corner. At €449,000, the asking price is 67% below the neighbourhood average of €1,348,000, making it the cheapest of the eight homes currently for sale in this part of the Grachtengordel. That's a keen price, especially given the location, though the 58 m² floor area is 55% smaller than the local average. For context, see other apartments in Amsterdam.

About Singel 436K, Amsterdam
The asking price of €449,000 is 67% below the average asking price in Leidsegracht-Zuid (€1,348,000) and is the lowest of the eight homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood. However, the floor area (58 m²) is 55% smaller than the neighbourhood average (129 m²). Given the prime canal location and historic building, the price is keen for what you get, but reflects the compact size.
The energy label is D. This is common for a building from 1718, in fact, 40% of homes in the neighbourhood have a label D or lower. A D label means moderate energy efficiency; heating and electricity costs will be higher than in a modern home, but not extreme. You can expect reasonable comfort with typical usage.
The listing does not state the number of rooms. With 58 m², it is likely a one- or two-bedroom apartment, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
For a historic building on a canal, VvE costs can vary. You would need to ask the agent for the exact monthly contribution.
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away. That's about a 25-minute walk or a short tram ride. Amsterdam Central Station is the main hub, with connections to national and international destinations.
Leidsegracht-Zuid has few families, only 55 households with children out of 454. The area is dominated by singles and couples. Schools are within walking distance, but the neighbourhood itself is more suited to professionals and couples without children.
Parking in the Grachtengordel is very limited and expensive. The listing does not mention a parking spot. Residents typically rely on public parking garages or permits. You would need to check with the municipality about permit availability.
