Duivelseiland, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with presence. On the Museumkwartier side of the Vondelpark, Ruysdaelstraat is one of those Amsterdam streets where the architecture does the talking. The apartment itself spans 139 m², which is more than double the average for apartments in Amsterdam. At €1,750,000 it is the most expensive of the 16 homes currently for sale in Duivelseiland, and 157% above the neighbourhood average asking price of €680,438. That puts it on the high side, but the size and the location explain why.
Duivelseiland is a tiny pocket of the Museumkwartier, and it feels like a secret. With 1,405 residents and hardly any families with children (just 120), the area is dominated by singles and couples in their thirties and forties. Almost all homes are pre-war apartments, and the streets are lined with plane trees. There are no reviews from residents in the data, but the figures paint a picture: a very strong urbanity level (address density 9,094 per km²), yet the Vondelpark is a five-minute walk away. It is a neighbourhood for people who want the city on their doorstep but also a bit of quiet. The Duivelseiland neighbourhood is one of the most expensive in Amsterdam, and this home sits at the top end of that market.
Your morning coffee is a two-minute walk: there is a restaurant on the corner, and the Albert Heijn on Van Baerlestraat is just around the corner. For a bigger shop, the Coop on Eerste Constantijn Huygensstraat is a five-minute walk, and the Jumbo on Overtoom is about the same. Schools are close too: the Sweelinck College (secondary) is on your doorstep, the Montessori Lyceum is a couple of streets away, and the Hildebrand Van Loonschool (primary) is a five-minute walk. The Vondelpark is a five-minute walk, and the Museumplein is a ten-minute stroll. The municipality of Amsterdam does not get much more central than this.
The home is listed through several channels, including Heeren Makelaars. At the time of writing, the asking price is €1,750,000.

About Ruysdaelstraat 49F4, Amsterdam
The asking price is 157% above the neighbourhood average of €680,438, and it is the most expensive of the 16 homes currently for sale in Duivelseiland. However, the floor area of 139 m² is 111% larger than the neighbourhood average of 66 m², and the home has an energy label A, which is rare in a pre-war building. So the price reflects the size and quality, but it is certainly on the high side compared to other homes in the area.
Duivelseiland is a quiet, leafy part of the Museumkwartier. It has a very strong urban feel (address density 9,094 per km²), but the streets are calm and the Vondelpark is a five-minute walk away. The population is mostly singles and couples in their thirties and forties, with very few children. Almost all homes are pre-war apartments, and the area is known for its high prices.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away. That is about a 25-minute walk or a short tram ride.
There are several supermarkets within a short walk. The nearest Albert Heijn is 410 m away (about a five-minute walk), a Coop is 476 m away, and a Jumbo is 544 m away. An Aldi is 587 m away, and another Albert Heijn is 662 m away. So daily shopping is very convenient.
Several schools are within walking distance. The Sweelinck College (secondary) is 150 m away, the Montessori Lyceum (secondary) is 190 m away, and the Hildebrand Van Loonschool (primary) is 365 m away. The Peetersschool (primary) and Fons Vitae Lyceum (secondary) are both about 394 m away.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. For a home built in 1912, that is exceptional. It means the property is well insulated and heating costs should be relatively low. In the neighbourhood, only 33.3% of homes have label A, and none have A+.
There are currently 16 homes for sale in Duivelseiland, with prices ranging from €415,000 to €1,750,000. The average asking price is €680,438, and the median is €599,500. This apartment is the most expensive on the market.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not stated, so it is not possible to say whether there is any private outdoor space. The Vondelpark is a five-minute walk away for green space.
