Felix Meritisbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis studio on one of Amsterdam's most famous canals is compact but full of character. At 37 m² it's a cosy space, and with a price of €425,000 it's notably more affordable than the neighbourhood average, 79% below the typical asking price in the Felix Meritisbuurt. That makes sense given the size, because the average home here is 168 m². For a foothold in the Grachtengordel, this is a keenly priced option. See more studios in Amsterdam.
The Felix Meritisbuurt is the heart of the canal belt, with a very high density of addresses (11,724 per km²) and a lively, urban feel. Most residents live alone (895 one-person households), and the average household size is just 1.5. It's a neighbourhood of young professionals and students, with 825 people aged 25,45. There are no resident reviews available for this area, so the picture comes from the statistics. The neighbourhood Felix Meritisbuurt is one of Amsterdam's most central.
Your daily routine here is wonderfully walkable. For groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. There's also an Ekoplaza for organic shopping. For school runs, the 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan is a five-minute walk, and OBS Leonardo da Vinci is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and culinary options you'd expect from the capital.

About Prinsengracht 409D, Amsterdam
The asking price of €425,000 is 79% below the neighbourhood average of €2,047,568, but that average is skewed by much larger homes. The median price in the Felix Meritisbuurt is €1,250,000. Given the compact 37 m² size, the price per m² works out at about €11,486, which is below the neighbourhood average of €13,167 per m². So it's priced keenly for a studio in this prime canal location.
The home has energy label C. That's a solid middle-of-the-road rating, not the most efficient, but far from the worst. In the neighbourhood, 37.5% of homes have label C, while 40.6% have D or lower. You can expect reasonable energy costs, though not as low as an A-rated home.
The nearest train station is 2 km away. That's about a 25-minute walk or a short tram ride. Amsterdam's central stations are well connected, but you'll likely rely on trams, bikes or walking for most trips within the city.
