A rental on the Prinsengracht
This rental home on the Prinsengracht sits in the heart of Amsterdam, where the canal-side bustle meets the calm of the Passeerdersgrachtbuurt. This listing does not state a house number, postcode, property type, floor area, year of construction or energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €2,750 per month, the rent sits 20% below the neighbourhood average of €3,448, which puts it on the keen side compared with other rental homes in Amsterdam.
The Passeerdersgrachtbuurt
The Passeerdersgrachtbuurt neighbourhood is a compact corner of the Jordaan, home to just under 900 people. It is a place of singles and older residents, with few children and many one-person households. The streets are quiet by Amsterdam standards, yet the canals and bridges give it a distinctly central feel. Based on the available data, there are no resident reviews to draw on, so the character of the area comes from its statistics rather than personal accounts. The mix of ages leans towards the over-45s, with a notable share of residents aged 65 and above.
Life on the street
Daily life here revolves around the nearby amenities, all within a short stroll. For groceries, an AH to go is just around the corner, with Ekoplaza and a full Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. For bread and school runs, the 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan and OBS Leonardo da Vinci are both within a five-minute walk, while secondary options like Barlaeus Gymnasium are a ten-minute walk. The area is well served for everyday needs, and the wider municipality of Amsterdam offers everything else you might want.
