The WOZ value in Anjeliersbuurt-Noord is €627,000, well above the district average of the Jordaan (€567,000) and the Amsterdam average of €517,000.

Living in Anjeliersbuurt-Noord, Amsterdam
Anjeliersbuurt-Noord is the part of the Jordaan that many Amsterdammers have in mind when they say they live "in the Jordaan", but specifically the northern part, around the Anjeliersgracht, the Westerstraat and the side streets towards the Lijnbaansgracht. The streetscape is defined by narrow 17th- and 18th-century canal houses with high stoops, wooden frames and facades that lean slightly towards the water. New-build is rare here.
The atmosphere is urban but not hectic. During the day, tourists walk towards the Jordaan market on the Westerstraat, but in the evenings it is predominantly quiet. Residents appreciate the combination of liveliness and the human scale of the streets. On the Westerstraat you will find the weekly market on Mondays, a number of good bakeries, cheese speciality shops and small restaurants. For larger groceries, you walk to the Albert Heijn on the Marnixstraat or the Dirk on the Kinkerstraat, both within cycling distance.
Green space is scarce at street level, but Westerpark is about a ten-minute bike ride away and offers space for a long walk or a picnic. Closer to home, Jordaanplein is a small meeting place. For children, there are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including schools on the Goudsbloemstraat and in the wider Jordaan. Childcare is available, although the waiting list in this part of Amsterdam is a real point of attention for young families.
In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores well. Trams 13 and 17 run via the Marnixstraat and connect you quickly to Central Station and the city centre. By bike, you can reach Leidseplein or the Negen Straatjes in ten minutes. Parking a car is a different story: paid parking applies here all week and a parking permit is available for residents but not guaranteed quickly. Most residents do without a car, which fits with the 66% labour participation and the highly educated profile of the neighbourhood.
On the neighbourhood homepage of Anjeliersbuurt-Noord you can read what residents themselves write about their neighbourhood. A frequently heard sentiment: "You live here right in the city, but the street knows your name." Criticism focuses mainly on the crowds during the tourist season and the limited parking options. Those seeking peace and quiet also look at Anjeliersbuurt-Zuid or the quieter Bloemgrachtbuurt. For a slightly broader supply and different price ranges, Marnixbuurt-Noord and Driehoekbuurt are worth comparing.
Does a home for sale in Anjeliersbuurt-Noord suit you as a buyer?
With an average sale price of over €1.2 million and a limited supply of around 18 transactions per year, buying in Anjeliersbuurt-Noord is reserved for buyers with a substantial budget. First-time buyers can hardly qualify here without significant equity or family capital. The neighbourhood mainly attracts dual-income earners, movers and buyers who consciously choose a historic property over new-build comfort. Be prepared for overbidding and a quick decision: homes disappear quickly from the market here. Also take into account high service costs for apartments in split properties and possible monumental restrictions on renovations.
