NeighbourhoodA studio on the Prinsengracht
This studio on the Prinsengracht in the Jordaan is a piece of Amsterdam history. Built in 1906, it has an energy label G, so heating costs will be significant. At 38 m² it is compact, but the location is hard to beat. The asking price of €675,000 is 29% below the neighbourhood average of €947,200, which is keen given the size and energy label. For comparison, other studios in Amsterdam vary widely in price and condition.

Frequently asked questions
About Prinsengracht 42-1, Amsterdam
Is €675,000 a fair price for a 38 m² studio?
The asking price is 29% below the neighbourhood average of €947,200, but the average home in Anjeliersbuurt-Zuid is 77 m². At €17,763 per m², this studio is above the neighbourhood average of €12,378 per m². Given the compact size and energy label G, the price is on the high side per square metre, but the location on the Prinsengracht is exceptional.
What does energy label G mean for this studio?
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. Built in 1906, it likely has poor insulation and an old heating system. Expect high gas and electricity bills. In the neighbourhood, only 11.1% of homes have label D or lower, so this studio is less efficient than most.
How is the neighbourhood for daily life?
Residents rate it 9.01 out of 10. Shops and markets are within walking distance, and there is a strong sense of community. The area is very urban with a high density of addresses. It is a mixed neighbourhood with both young and old residents.
What public transport is nearby?
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, so it is not within walking distance. However, Amsterdam's tram and bus network is extensive, and the city centre is easily reachable on foot or by bike.
How many similar studios are for sale in the neighbourhood?
There are 20 homes for sale in Anjeliersbuurt-Zuid, with an average price of €947,200 and an average size of 77 m². Studios are rare; most homes are larger. This studio is one of the smaller and cheaper options in absolute terms.
Is the Prinsengracht a quiet street?
The Prinsengracht is one of Amsterdam's main canals, so it can be busy with tourists and traffic. However, the studio is on the first floor, which may reduce street noise. The neighbourhood has a lively atmosphere with many restaurants and bars just around the corner.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood with enthusiastic people and there's always something fun to do
Auto-translated to English by AII 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.

Experiences from Amsterdam
How residents experience their municipality
IJburg is a new district still under development and it's getting better with all the amenities and a beach nearby. And you're also quickly out of the city and into the greenery.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, peaceful, relaxed, green, social and a nice mix of people
Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about 12 years. The neighbourhood has clear advantages: good connections by tram, bus and ferry/boat, plenty of supermarkets, gyms and practical amenities nearby. For me, however, there was one major drawback: structural low-frequency noise, demonstrably coming from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. If you are sensitive to that, it can be very burdensome. In my case, it was clearly noticeable indoors, especially at night. Neighbours said they slept with earplugs and extra insulation offered limited to no solution. The municipality took measurements at the time and acknowledged that the noise was significant, but indicated they could do little or nothing about it because the source fell outside their direct authority. My honest advice: visit this neighbourhood not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night, and pay specific attention to low-frequency humming or vibrations. For people sensitive to noise, I would personally strongly advise against this location.

Auto-translated to English by AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the end of the Silodam lies the striking MVRDV building. Surrounded by water on all sides. Every apartment has a view of the IJ and/or the Oude Houthaven. The views are therefore phenomenal and every day is different due to the weather. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable. Because the building is at the end of the Silodam, there is no through traffic and every person is either a resident or a visitor. This makes it, by Amsterdam standards, an exceptionally safe living environment. There is little turnover. The residents of this building form a close-knit community. A nice mix of families with and without children and single people who help each other where needed. And that too is a special quality in an increasingly transient Amsterdam. Within walking distance are the Haarlemmerdijk and the markets where you can find all the hustle and bustle if you feel like it. On the Silodam there is peace and quiet, a delight for body and mind. The wind, the seagulls, the waves on the IJ, the boats, occasionally a cruise ship, and every 5 years Sail! A little paradise in Amsterdam? Absolutely!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the city but still close to many good amenities that a city has to offer. The neighbourhood is still becoming more beautiful.
