Bloemgrachtbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Nieuwe Leliestraat sits in one of Amsterdam's most iconic neighbourhoods. At 34 m² it's compact, but the A+ energy label is exceptional for a 1869 building, you won't find that often in the Jordaan. The asking price of €450,000 is 41% below the neighbourhood average of €765,625, which makes sense given the size. For more context, have a look at other studios in Amsterdam.
The neighbourhood Bloemgrachtbuurt is the quieter side of the Jordaan, with tree-lined canals and a village feel despite being in the city centre. Most homes here date from before 1945, and the streets are lively with galleries, brown cafés and boutiques. The area is densely populated, over 12,000 addresses per km², and dominated by singles and young professionals. There are no resident reviews available for this street, but the neighbourhood is known for its mix of locals and newcomers.
Your morning bread run is just around the corner at Albert Heijn (a couple of streets away) or Dirk (also a couple of streets away). For school runs, the Theo Thijssenschool is a five-minute walk, and the Dr. Rijk Kramer school is a couple of streets further. Secondary school pupils can reach Het Cartesius Lyceum within a five-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers everything you'd expect from a capital, but the Jordaan keeps its own character.
At the time of writing the home is listed via DAMSTAD and also appears on Funda, so you have two channels to check. The price and specs are clear, but with only 8 studios for sale in the neighbourhood, it's worth keeping an eye on the market.

About Nieuwe Leliestraat 131-4, Amsterdam
The asking price is 41% below the average asking price in Bloemgrachtbuurt (€765,625), but that average is for homes of 86 m². At €13,235 per m², this studio is above the neighbourhood average of €8,922 per m². So you're paying a premium for the small size, but the A+ energy label and location justify part of that.
An A+ label is exceptionally efficient, especially for a 1869 building. In the neighbourhood, none of the current for-sale homes have A+, and only 20% have A. This means heating and electricity bills should be low, and the home is future-proofed against rising energy prices.
Bloemgrachtbuurt is a dense, lively area with a high proportion of singles (43% of households). You have supermarkets, schools and restaurants within a few minutes' walk. The area feels safe and is popular with young professionals. The train station is 2.3 km away, so you'd rely on tram or bike for longer journeys.
There are currently 8 studios for sale in Bloemgrachtbuurt, out of a total of 1980 homes. That's a very small share, so choice is limited. The average time to sell a home in the area is 25 days, indicating a fast-moving market.
Given the size and price, this studio is likely to appeal to singles or couples without children. The neighbourhood has many one-person households (1290 out of 1985 households) and a young age profile (38% aged 25-45). It's a classic starter home in a central location.
The nearest park or public garden is 0.7 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That's the Westerpark or the smaller Groene Stee, depending on your direction. The area is more about canals and streets than large parks, but you're not far from green space.
