Westlandgrachtbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Westlandgracht sits in a friendly, tree-lined part of Amsterdam. At 54 m² it's compact but well laid out, with an energy label D, not the most efficient, but typical for a 1934 build. The asking price of €475,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €678,960, partly because the home needs some updating. For context, most apartments in Amsterdam in this price range are smaller or in less central areas.
The neighbourhood Westlandgrachtbuurt is a calm, residential pocket with a mix of ages. One resident describes it as 'cosy': 'quiet & familiar. Many elderly people, families with kids, and starters live here, which makes you feel at home right away and there's some nice bustle on the street.' The area scores an 8 out of 10 from that single review. Most homes here were built before 1945, and the streets are lined with mature trees. It's a place where people know each other, and the atmosphere is relaxed.
For groceries, Dirk is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away, both within a five-minute walk. There are several primary schools nearby, including Oecumenische basisschool Nautilus and Cultuurprofielschool De Notenkraker, both within a few minutes' walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers plenty of parks: Vondelpark and Rembrandtpark are both a ten-minute walk away. Public transport is good, with tram and bus stops nearby and a metro station within walking distance.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Fransen & Kroes Makelaars Amsterdam.

Very good · 1 resident
I've been living in this neighbourhood for almost a year now. I find it very pleasant, quiet & familiar. Many elderly people, families with kids, and starters live here, which makes you feel at home right away and there's some nice bustle on the street. Accessibility is fine; bus/tram station within walking distance & there's a metro station nearby. You're close to two parks: Vondelpark & Rembrandtpark, which is nice for the green surroundings. There are plenty of schools in the area for kids. Supermarkets, shops, restaurants within walking distance. It would be nice if some bakeries or more shops came to the neighbourhood, so it becomes even cosier and easier to stay in your own neighbourhood. Sports facilities are also nearby, which is very pleasant; I make good use of them. I have never felt unsafe for a moment; I feel that there are no people wandering around the neighbourhood who have no business being here.

About Westlandgracht 69-2, Amsterdam
The asking price is about 30% below the average asking price in the Westlandgrachtbuurt (€678,960) and also below the median of €595,000. However, the apartment is smaller than average (54 m² vs 68 m²) and has an energy label D, while most homes for sale in the area have better labels. So the price reflects the size and energy performance, making it a realistic entry point for the neighbourhood.
Energy label D means the home is not particularly energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home, and the property may have single glazing or poor insulation. In the Westlandgrachtbuurt, only about 24% of homes have a label D or lower, so this apartment is on the less efficient end. Upgrades like double glazing or cavity wall insulation could improve the label and reduce bills.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bus ride. That's a reasonable distance for occasional train travel, but for daily commuting you'd likely rely on the tram and metro stops that are closer.
The Westlandgrachtbuurt has a mix of residents, including families with children (about 20% of households). There are several primary schools within walking distance, and parks like Vondelpark and Rembrandtpark are nearby. One resident notes it feels safe and familiar, with a nice bustle on the street. However, the apartment itself is compact, so it may suit a small family or a couple with a child.
Yes, there are several supermarkets close by. Dirk is about 424 metres away (a five-minute walk), and Albert Heijn is about 517 metres (around six minutes). Lidl is also within a ten-minute walk. So daily shopping is very convenient.
At the time of writing, there are 25 apartments for sale in the Westlandgrachtbuurt. The average asking price per square metre is €10,223, so this apartment at €8,796 per m² is below average. That suggests it's priced to sell, possibly because of the energy label or the need for some modernisation.
