Den Texbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment sits on one of Amsterdam's most iconic canals, with the buzz of the city right outside your door. At €500,000, the asking price is 45% below the neighbourhood average of €915,000, partly because the 56 m² floor area is 36% smaller than the typical home in Den Texbuurt. For context, the average apartments in Amsterdam in this price bracket tend to be smaller, so this is a keenly priced entry into a sought-after area.
Den Texbuurt is a dense, inner-city neighbourhood with a very strong urban character (over 10,000 addresses per km²). It's a mix of young professionals and older residents, the largest age group is 25-45, and nearly two-thirds of households are single-person. The area has a high proportion of pre-war buildings (83%), but this apartment dates from 1986, so it's a relative newcomer. With 44% owner-occupied homes, it's a popular place to buy. The neighbourhood Den Texbuurt has a lively, cosmopolitan feel, though there are no resident reviews available for this listing.
Your morning coffee is just around the corner: Ekoplaza is 76 metres away, and Albert Heijn is 87 metres, both on your doorstep. For a bigger shop, Dirk is a couple of streets away. Families have IKC De Kleine Reus primary school within a five-minute walk, and secondary options like Barlaeus Gymnasium and Montessori Lyceum are also close. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and leisure amenities you'd expect from the capital.
