Singel 518H
Geelvinckbuurt, Amsterdam
AreaA canal-side apartment in the heart of Amsterdam
This apartment on the Singel sits in the middle of the Grachtengordel-Zuid, one of Amsterdam's most atmospheric stretches. 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 €4,500 per month, the rent sits well above the neighbourhood average of €3,075, so it is on the high side for the area. For context, apartments in Amsterdam generally command a premium in the city centre.
The Geelvinckbuurt
The Geelvinckbuurt neighbourhood is a compact enclave with around 350 residents, making it one of the quieter pockets of the canal belt. The population skews young, with over half of residents aged between 25 and 45, and most households are single people. It is a small community, so the streets feel intimate rather than bustling. The area has a high address density, reflecting the classic canal-side building style. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here comes from the figures alone.
Life on the street
Daily life here revolves around the Singel and its immediate surroundings. For groceries, an AH to go is just around the corner, with a SPAR a couple of streets away and a full Albert Heijn within a five-minute walk. For schools, IKC De Kleine Reus is a ten-minute walk, while Barlaeus Gymnasium is a similar distance for secondary education. The nearest park is a bit further out, but the canals themselves offer plenty of walking routes. This is central Amsterdam living, with the municipality of Amsterdam providing the wider urban context.
