Spiegelbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis studio on the Keizersgracht is a rare chance to own a piece of Amsterdam's Golden Age. Built in 1795, it sits in the heart of the Grachtengordel, with the canal right outside your window. At 38 m² it's compact, but the price of €399,000 is 76% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €1,648,105, making it the cheapest of the 19 homes currently for sale in the area. That's a keen price for a studio in this part of town, especially when you compare it to the average of €15,481 per m² in the Spiegelbuurt. For context, studios in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one stands out for its location and value.
The Spiegelbuurt is a tiny, exclusive enclave within the Grachtengordel-Zuid, with just 890 residents. It's a neighbourhood of singles and couples, average household size is 1.6, and most homes are apartments. The streets are quiet by Amsterdam standards, yet you're steps from the bustle of the Leidseplein and the Rijksmuseum. There are no resident reviews available, but the figures speak for themselves: it's a sought-after area with a mix of ages, from students to pensioners. The Spiegelbuurt neighbourhood is known for its antique shops and art galleries, giving it a refined, cultured feel.
Your daily routine here is a pleasure. For bread and basics, the AH to go is just around the corner, and Jumbo and Albert Heijn are a five-minute walk away. For school runs, the Barlaeus Gymnasium is a couple of streets away, and the 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan is a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood is part of the municipality of Amsterdam, which means you have the entire city at your doorstep, museums, theatres, restaurants, and parks like the Vondelpark are all within easy reach.
At present, the home is listed through several channels, including www.vva.amsterdam and Van Huis Uit Makelaars B.V. on Funda, Pararius, and Vastgoed Nederland.
