Rental prices and market figures for Anjeliersbuurt-Zuid, Amsterdam
Anjeliersbuurt-Zuid is a typical Jordaan neighbourhood where renting is the norm: 73% of homes are rental properties, compared to just 26% owner-occupied. Nearly half of the total housing stock (47%) is owned by housing associations, meaning there are relatively many social rental homes. The remaining 26% is rented out by private landlords and investors, i.e. the free-sector supply. In the free sector, the average rent over the past twelve months was €3,220 per month, with a range of €1,450 to €7,750. With an average floor area of 92 m², that works out to about €35 per m². That is steep, but fitting for a location right in the heart of the Jordaan. The average WOZ value of €568,000 is almost identical to the neighbourhood average (€567,000) and well above the Amsterdam average of €517,000. The average income of €43,600 is slightly lower than the neighbourhood average of €47,400, which is linked to the high proportion of social renters.

Living in Anjeliersbuurt-Zuid: Jordaan character at its narrowest
Anjeliersbuurt-Zuid is wedged between Westerstraat and Egelantiersgracht, in the heart of the Jordaan. Here you will find the classic Jordaan streetscape: narrow streets with 17th- and 18th-century canal houses, small inner gardens, and the occasional courtyard hidden behind an inconspicuous gate. The homes are predominantly upper-floor flats and apartments in historic buildings, often with steep stairs and compact floor plans. New-build properties are scarce here; the character is defined by the old buildings.
Facilities within walking distance
You can do your daily shopping at the Albert Heijn on Westerstraat or at the organic shops scattered throughout the neighbourhood. The Noordermarkt (farmers' market every Saturday, flea market every Monday) is a few minutes' walk away. On Haarlemmerdijk and Haarlemmerstraat, just to the north, you will find a mix of specialist shops, coffee bars and restaurants. Westerstraat itself has a varied range of small shops and eateries. For primary education, there are Jordaanschool and Anne Frankschool in the immediate vicinity. Sports facilities can be found at Vondelpark (cycling distance) or the De Mirandabad sports centre. Westerpark, with its spacious lawns and cultural breeding ground on the former Westergasfabriek site, is within a ten-minute bike ride.
Accessibility: everything close by
Accessibility scores a perfect 10 among residents, and rightly so. Tram stops on Rozengracht (lines 13, 17) take you to Amsterdam Central Station in ten minutes. Buses 18 and 21 stop on Marnixstraat. By bike, you can reach Dam Square in five minutes and Leidseplein or Vondelpark in a quarter of an hour. By car, the A10-West is accessible via the S103, but parking is a challenge: it is permit parking throughout the Jordaan and free spaces are rare. Many residents do not own a car, and that works fine here.
What residents think
Residents give Anjeliersbuurt-Zuid a 9.0 out of 10. Accessibility, community spirit and education score maximum marks (10 out of 10). Resident Francisca de Graaf, born and raised in the neighbourhood, writes: "I wouldn't want to swap this neighbourhood for any other district in Amsterdam. The shops and markets are within walking distance and people give each other a helping hand when needed." That social fabric is something you find less strongly in many other Amsterdam neighbourhoods. The lowest score is for cleanliness (7.5), which probably has to do with the hustle and bustle and sometimes messy streetscape that comes with a lively city centre. More experiences and all sub-scores can be found on the neighbourhood page for Anjeliersbuurt-Zuid.

Considering buying instead of renting? Then also check the supply of homes for sale in Anjeliersbuurt-Zuid.
