Spiegelbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis studio on one of Amsterdam's most famous canals is a rare find. The listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €2,480,000, the price is 50% above the neighbourhood average asking price of €1,648,105, which is partly explained by the 30 m² floor area being 78% smaller than the Spiegelbuurt average of 138 m². For context, studios in Amsterdam vary widely in price.
Spiegelbuurt is a tiny, exclusive enclave in the Grachtengordel-Zuid district, with just 890 residents. It's a dense, urban area, address density is 9,550 per km², and most homes are pre-war, with 87.5% built before 1945. The population skews towards singles (350 one-person households) and young adults, with few children. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from CBS data: average household size is 1.6, and 41% of homes are owner-occupied. The Spiegelbuurt neighbourhood is known for its antique shops and canal views.
Daily life here revolves around the canal belt. For groceries, the nearest Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with an AH to go and a SPAR. For school runs, Barlaeus Gymnasium (secondary) is a five-minute walk away, and primary school IKC De Kleine Reus is. A park or public garden is a five-minute walk away. The area is packed with restaurants, the nearest is just 200 m away, and a GP is 800 m from the door. The municipality of Amsterdam offers all the cultural and transport links you'd expect from the capital.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Broersma Wonen. The agent has not published an energy label, so the home's efficiency is unknown.

About Keizersgracht 505H, Amsterdam
The asking price of €2,480,000 is 50% above the Spiegelbuurt average of €1,648,105. However, the floor area is 78% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 138 m², so the price per square metre is very high. The location on the Keizersgracht, a historic canal, commands a premium, and the home is a studio, a rare property type in this area.
The property is listed as a studio, which typically means a single open-plan living/sleeping space with a separate kitchen and bathroom. The exact layout is not described in the listing.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. Given the location on a canal in the city centre, outdoor space is unlikely but not confirmed.
Spiegelbuurt is a very urban, historic area with a high density of pre-war buildings. It has few families and many singles. The area is known for its antique shops, restaurants, and proximity to the city centre. The crime rate is 222 total offences, which is moderate for central Amsterdam.
The nearest train station is 2.5 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short tram ride.
