This apartment on Raamstraat sits in the heart of Amsterdam, in the Passeerdersgrachtbuurt, a corner of the Jordaan known for its canals and quiet streets. This listing does not state a house number, postcode, 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 €4,700 per month, the rent sits 34% above the neighbourhood average of €3,502, which puts it on the high side for the area. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price, but this figure stands out.
The Passeerdersgrachtbuurt
The Passeerdersgrachtbuurt is a small, close-knit neighbourhood with roughly 895 residents, and it feels like it. Most households are single people, making up 69% of the area, and there are few families with children, so the streets have a calm, adult rhythm. The age spread leans towards the 25-45 bracket, with a notable share of older residents too. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here comes from the figures alone. It is a place where neighbours know each other, and the pace of life is unhurried.

Life on the street
Raamstraat itself is a short, quiet street, and daily errands are easy from here. For groceries, an AH to go is just around the corner, with a full Albert Heijn, Ekoplaza and Lidl all within a five-minute walk, so you have plenty of choice for the weekly shop. For families, there are two primary schools nearby, including OBS Leonardo da Vinci and the 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan, both a short stroll away, and secondary options like Barlaeus Gymnasium are also close. The neighbourhood is part of the municipality of Amsterdam, which means all the city's amenities are within reach, from cultural spots to everyday services.
