Living in Anjeliersbuurt-Noord: Jordaan atmosphere between Westerstraat and Anjeliersgracht

Anjeliersbuurt-Noord is the northern part of Anjeliersstraat and its surroundings, nestled between Westerstraat and Prinsengracht. It is one of the most recognisable parts of the Jordaan: narrow streets with pre-war buildings, many three- and four-storey canal houses converted into apartments, and the occasional former warehouse turned into a loft. The homes are predominantly compact, which matches the average floor area of 75 m² seen in the rental figures. The atmosphere is urban yet village-like: neighbours know each other, bicycles lean against every facade, and on Sunday mornings the smell of fresh croissants wafts from the bakeries on Westerstraat.

Anyone looking to rent an apartment in Anjeliersbuurt-Noord should know that the vast majority are single-person households (890 out of approximately 1,100 households). Only 20% are married. It is a neighbourhood of young professionals and thirty-somethings: the largest age group is 25 to 45 years (700 residents). But there are also a notable number of over-65s (390), often people who have lived here for decades.

Facilities within walking distance

Westerstraat is the lifeline of the neighbourhood. Every Monday there is the famous Westermarkt (fabric market and more), and you will find an Albert Heijn, various specialist shops and a Kruidvat. On Haarlemmerdijk, a few minutes' walk north, there are even more restaurants and shops. For primary education, there is Jordaanschool on Elandsgracht and De Kleine Kapitein primary school on Tweede Anjeliersdwarsstraat. Sports facilities can be found at Vondelpark (cycling distance) or Marnixbad on Marnixstraat, the indoor swimming pool within walking distance. Westerpark is a ten-minute walk away for runners and dog owners. There is an abundance of eateries: from brown café 't Smalle on Egelantiersgracht to the restaurants along Tweede Tuindwarsstraat.

Accessibility and parking

Public transport is excellent. Tram lines 13 and 17 stop at Westermarkt (towards Central Station and Elandsgracht). Amsterdam Central Station can be reached in ten minutes by bike or fifteen minutes by tram. Bus lines heading north depart from Buiten Brouwersstraat stop. By car, you can quickly reach the A10 via the S100 (ring road), but parking is a well-known pain point. You need a parking permit and the waiting list is long. Residents pay the Amsterdam city rate. Cycling is by far the most convenient: the city centre, the Nine Streets and Leidseplein are all within five to ten minutes by bike. More information about parking permits can be found on the website of the municipality of Amsterdam.

Residents appreciate the central location and the Jordaan atmosphere, but are honest about the drawbacks. Noise pollution from bars and tourists is frequently mentioned, especially in the summer months. One resident wrote: "You live fantastically centrally here, but on Friday evenings you can hear the terraces until midnight." The homes are often old and not always well insulated, which partly explains the low gas consumption (860 m³) due to the use of district heating, but some buildings are simply draughty.

Compared to the neighbouring Anjeliersbuurt-Zuid, the northern part is slightly quieter and more residential. Driehoekbuurt towards Noordermarkt attracts a similar crowd but has even narrower streets and higher prices. Those looking for a bit more space at a possibly lower price could also consider the offerings in Marnixbuurt-Noord.

Who is a rental home in Anjeliersbuurt-Noord suitable for?

With an average free-sector rent of over €3,100 per month, the neighbourhood is mainly aimed at working professionals, dual-income couples and expats with above-average incomes. First-time buyers with a smaller budget have little chance in the free sector, but the 31% of social housing offers prospects through social rent. However, you must register with WoningNet in time, as waiting lists in the Jordaan can exceed ten years. Seniors who already live here often stay for a long time, which limits turnover. If you have the financial means, respond quickly to available rental properties: the rental period in this part of the Jordaan is short. Prepare your documents (employer's statement, payslips, ID) so you can respond immediately. Prefer to buy?
