Elandsgrachtbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis studio on the Eerste Laurierdwarsstraat sits in one of Amsterdam's most iconic neighbourhoods. At 37 m² it's compact, but with an energy label B it's reasonably efficient for a 1878 building. The asking price of €350,000 is the cheapest of the 55 homes currently for sale in the Elandsgrachtbuurt and sits 61% below the neighbourhood average, a keen entry point for the area. For context, studios in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one is priced to move.
Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood Elandsgrachtbuurt scores an 8.79 out of 10. One resident says: "Cosy neighbourhood with familiar faces, lots of familiar faces so everyone is somewhat known to each other." Another adds: "This neighbourhood is really a piece of Amsterdam. Old canals, a bit messy, but cosy. You have those little shops and pubs there, a real mix of everything." The area is densely urban with over 11,800 addresses per km², and most homes are pre-war. It's a mix of singles and couples, with few families with children.
For your morning bread, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a Jumbo is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including the 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan and Basisschool Dr. Rijk Kramer. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the city's amenities, from museums to parks, all within easy reach.
At the time of writing the home is listed via ME Makelaars B.V. and also appears on Funda, so you can view it through several channels.

I think the Elandsgracht neighbourhood is great, actually the Jordaan too. Lots of familiar faces so everyone is somewhat known to each other. The Jordaan also has a large share of history with names like André Hazes, Willem Holleeder and tante Leen. In short, a nice neighbourhood where a lot happened back in the day and very nice neighbours!
Auto-translated to English by AIThis neighbourhood is really a piece of Amsterdam. Old canals, a bit messy, but cosy. You have those little shops and pubs there, a real mix of everything. By tram you're in the city centre in no time, so that's great. Tourists? Yes, you see them, but it doesn't really bother me. I feel quite safe there, despite the crowds.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's cosy here with many shops and eateries in the neighbourhood. In my opinion, my street is visited too much by loitering youths; my neighbours seem to find that cosy too. Little to no trouble with crime. Good public transport connections.
