I have nice neighbours and the neighbourhood is nice. The municipality falls short on cleaning, here and in the rest of Amsterdam. The dog policy is not respected at all here and also not enforced!!! My only unpleasant experience here in the neighbourhood was not really properly resolved by the police.... I don't miss the quay and find it a pity that the municipality makes the houseboat policy so ridiculously complicated.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice pleasant rural greetings and you too enjoy their flowers many open spaces where you can drink coffee eat and super nice neighbourhood surroundings with water as a tourist attraction and transport. The neighbours greet the same tourists chat and ask about streets neighbourhood museums. With maritime museum also weekend visitors from other neighbourhoods tell about when they were here friends with people who are already gone. Not easy to park sometimes very busy on the road and with a shop downstairs parking spaces are if you pay. Otherwise very busy when police drive you hear the beautiful church bells children with their school teachers walking. It is picturesque sometimes you find painters with their materials. I moved a few months ago I live better because I have more air and space. Many birds nothing for nothing this neighbourhood is called the Amazon of Europe.

About Wittenburgergracht 49, Amsterdam
The asking price is 34% above the neighbourhood average of €709,192, but this apartment is also 41% larger than the average (130 m² vs 92 m²). The price per m² works out to about €7,308, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €7,866. So while the total price is high, the size and location justify it.
The energy label is C. This is a reasonable score for a 1883 building, meaning the home is moderately efficient. You can expect average energy costs, but it is not as efficient as a modern home. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels, with 23% each in A+, A, B, and C categories.
Wittenburg is described as child-friendly by residents, with two large playgrounds nearby. There are primary schools within walking distance, such as the Alan Turingschool (218 m) and Basisschool Oostelijke Eilanden (761 m). However, only 245 households have children, so it is not a family-dominated area.
The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. The high density of addresses (5,415 per km²) means you are well connected.
The neighbourhood recorded 106 total crimes in the latest data. This is moderate for a central Amsterdam area. One resident mentioned an unpleasant experience with the police, but overall the reviews are positive about safety.
Parking can be busy, as one resident notes: "Not easy to park sometimes very busy on the road and with a shop downstairs parking spaces are if you pay." Amsterdam has paid parking in most central areas, so you would need a permit or use paid spots.
The building dates from 1883, which is typical for this area (only 7.7% of homes in the neighbourhood were built before 1945, so this is one of the older ones). The energy label C suggests some modernisation, but you should expect period features and potentially higher maintenance.
