Elandsgrachtbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Rozenstraat is a true Amsterdam experience: a compact home with an A energy label in a 1915 building, right in the lively Jordaan. At €425,000, the asking price is 56% below the neighbourhood average of €969,259, but the floor area (44 m²) is also 60% smaller than the local norm of 109 m², so the price per square metre is actually in line with the market. For context, studios in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one offers a rare combination of historic character and modern efficiency.
The Elandsgrachtbuurt is a cosy, historic corner of the Jordaan where neighbours know each other. One resident calls it a 'cosy neighbourhood with familiar faces', adding that 'lots of familiar faces so everyone is somewhat known to each other'. Another says: 'This neighbourhood is really a piece of Amsterdam. Old canals, a bit messy, but cosy.' A third review mentions 'many shops and eateries' and good public transport. Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores an 8.79 out of 10. Most homes here were built before 1945 (78%), and the area is densely urban with over 11,800 addresses per km². The Elandsgrachtbuurt neighbourhood is popular with singles and couples, 46% of households are one-person, and only 11% have children.
Your daily routine here is wonderfully walkable. For groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Ekoplaza and Dirk also a couple of streets away. For school runs, the 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan and Basisschool Dr. Rijk Kramer are both within a five- to ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood is part of the municipality of Amsterdam, which means you have the entire city at your doorstep, from the canals to the cultural hotspots.
At the time of writing, the home is listed only via Engel & Völkers Amsterdam.

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.

About Rozenstraat 111-2, Amsterdam
The asking price is 56% below the neighbourhood average of €969,259, but the studio is also 60% smaller than the average home in the area (109 m²). At 44 m², the price per square metre works out to about €9,659, which is in line with the neighbourhood average of €9,665 per m². So the price is competitive for the size, though the absolute amount is low for the Jordaan.
The home has an energy label A, which is very efficient. In the neighbourhood, 27.7% of homes have label A and 4.3% have A+ or better, so this studio is above average in energy performance. That means lower heating costs and a more comfortable home compared to older properties in the area, many of which date from before 1945.
The nearest train station is 2.6 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short tram ride. The neighbourhood has good public transport connections, as residents note, with trams taking you to the city centre in no time.
The Elandsgrachtbuurt is described by residents as cosy, historic, and full of familiar faces. There are many shops, pubs, and eateries within walking distance. The area feels safe despite the crowds, and tourists are present but not bothersome. It's a real mix of everything, with old canals and a bit of a messy, authentic Amsterdam feel.
The property is listed as a studio, which typically means it is a single open-plan living and sleeping space with a separate kitchen and bathroom. The exact layout is not detailed in the listing, but the floor area is 44 m².
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. Given that the property is a studio in a 1915 building in the city centre, it is unlikely to have private outdoor space, but this is not confirmed in the data.
Several primary schools are within walking distance: the 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan at 277 m, Basisschool Dr. Rijk Kramer at 438 m, and Theo Thijssenschool Amsterdam at 517 m. There is also a secondary special education school, Jordaan College, at 211 m.
