Den Texbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment sits on one of Amsterdam's most iconic canals, with the buzz of the city right outside your door. At 57 m² it's compact but well laid out, and with an energy label B it's reasonably efficient. The asking price of €625,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €915,000, partly because the floor area is smaller than the typical 88 m² in the area. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.
Den Texbuurt is a dense, urban pocket in the heart of Amsterdam, with a very high address density of over 10,000 per km².

The area has a lively, cosmopolitan feel with plenty of restaurants and cafes just around the corner. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, but the CBS data shows a high proportion of single-person households and a relatively small number of families with children.

About Weteringschans 161E, Amsterdam
The asking price of €625,000 is 32% below the average asking price in Den Texbuurt (€915,000). However, this apartment is also smaller than the neighbourhood average (57 m² vs 88 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €10,964, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €10,630 per m². So while the total price is lower, you're paying a bit more per square metre.
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably energy-efficient. It's better than many older properties in the neighbourhood, only 25% of homes in Den Texbuurt have label A, and 18.8% have label B. A B label typically means lower heating costs compared to older, uninsulated homes, but you'll still want to budget for energy bills.
The nearest supermarket is Albert Heijn, just 46 metres away, literally on your doorstep. Ekoplaza is also very close at 98 metres, and Dirk is 330 metres away. So daily groceries are very convenient.
There are several schools within walking distance. The nearest primary school is IKC De Kleine Reus at 172 metres. For secondary education, Barlaeus Gymnasium is 441 metres away, and Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam is 648 metres. So if you have school-age children, there are good options close by.
The CBS data records 162 total crimes in the neighbourhood, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. The area is very central and busy, which can mean both more activity and more petty crime. It's always a good idea to check local crime maps for the latest information.
Den Texbuurt has 1,170 residents, with a high proportion of single-person households (365 out of 675 households). The largest age group is 25 to 45 years old (440 people), followed by 45 to 65 (255). There are 125 households with children, so it's not a family-dominated area but families do live there. The average household size is 1.7 people.
The distance to the nearest train station is 3 km. That's about a 10-minute bike ride or a short tram/bus journey. The area is well connected by trams and buses, so you can easily reach Amsterdam Centraal or other stations.
This is an apartment built in 1985. That's relatively modern compared to much of the neighbourhood, 83.3% of homes in Den Texbuurt were built before 1945. So this apartment likely has better insulation and modern building standards than many older properties in the area.
