Life in Felix Meritisbuurt
[The Felix Meritisbuurt neighbourhood]( /buurt/felix-meritisbuurt-amsterdam/) is a compact, historic pocket of the canal belt, home to just over 2,100 people. Most households are single-person (64%), and the average household size is 1.5, so this is a place of students, young professionals and empty-nesters rather than large families. The age spread is broad, with a good mix of under-45s and over-65s. It is a dense, urban area where life happens on the street, and the canal-side setting gives it a distinctly Amsterdam character.

For daily shopping, the Albert Heijn is practically on your doorstep, just 18 metres from the front door, with a Jumbo and another Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. For school runs, the Theo Thijssenschool is a five-minute walk, and the 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan is just a bit further. Secondary options include Het Cartesius Lyceum, about a ten-minute walk. The area is well served by [the municipality of Amsterdam]( /gemeente/amsterdam/), with a GP practice and a childcare centre both within easy reach.
