Zaagpoortbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 19th-century apartment on the Westerkade sits right on the water, with the lively streets of the Jordaan just a step away. At 50 m² it's compact but full of character, with high ceilings and original details typical of the era. The asking price of €450,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €499,833, but still below the median for apartments in Amsterdam.
The Zaagpoortbuurt is a small, densely populated pocket of the Jordaan with a very strong urban feel, over 12,000 addresses per km². Most residents live alone (585 of 945 inhabitants), and the area is popular with people in their 25-45s. There are few children, so the streets have a calm, grown-up atmosphere. No resident reviews are available for this neighbourhood.
For daily groceries, the Dirk is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. The Theo Thijssenschool for primary education is a five-minute walk, and Het Cartesius Lyceum for secondary school is even closer. A GP and a park are both within a five-minute walk, and the central station is about 2.5 km away.

About Westerkade 12L, Amsterdam
The asking price of €450,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €499,833 and the median of €497,500. However, at €9,000 per m² it is slightly above the average of €8,817 per m² for the area. Given the energy label E and the age of the building, the price is in line with the market.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 33.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for an older property.
The nearest train station is 2.5 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short tram ride.
The Zaagpoortbuurt has very few families with children, only 50 out of 945 residents are under 15. Most households are single people, so it's a quiet, adult-oriented area. There are primary and secondary schools within walking distance, but the neighbourhood itself is not particularly family-focused.
There are currently 6 apartments for sale in the Zaagpoortbuurt, with prices ranging from €375,000 to €629,000. The average time on the market for sold homes is 23 days, indicating a fairly active market.
