Leliegracht en omgeving, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis monumental 17th-century townhouse on Bergstraat sits in one of Amsterdam's most cherished corners, the Leliegracht area. With 272 m² of living space spread over several floors, it offers a rare combination of historic character and generous proportions. The asking price of €1,885,000 is 29% above the neighbourhood average of €1,466,161, but the home is also 116% larger than the typical 126 m² in the area, so the price per square metre is actually in line with the market. For context, the average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €13,231. This is one of the terraced houses in Amsterdam that stands out for its size and age.
The Leliegracht neighbourhood is part of the Grachtengordel-West, a UNESCO World Heritage area. It's densely built and very urban, with over 10,000 addresses per km². Most homes here were built before 1945 (95%), and nearly half have an energy label D or lower. The population is diverse: many singles (840 one-person households), a fair share of 25-45 year olds (715), and relatively few families with children (125). There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so we can't share local opinions. The area is known for its picturesque canals, boutique shops, and lively atmosphere.

About Bergstraat 8, Amsterdam
The asking price is 29% above the neighbourhood average of €1,466,161, but the home is also 116% larger than the typical 126 m². The price per square metre works out to about €6,930, which is well below the neighbourhood average of €13,231 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting significantly more space for your money.
The energy label is D. In this neighbourhood, 48% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for a pre-war property. A D label means moderate energy efficiency; heating costs will be higher than in a modern home, but not extreme. The home was built in 1715, so some draught-proofing and insulation improvements may be worth considering.
Very convenient. The nearest Albert Heijn is 280 m away, and there are several other supermarkets within a five-minute walk, including AH to go at 310 m and 348 m. For fresh produce and specialty shops, the Jordaan area is just a few streets away. Restaurants are also abundant, with the closest just 0.2 km from your doorstep.
The closest primary school is de Burght at 296 m, followed by Theo Thijssenschool at 601 m. For secondary education, Vinse School is 613 m away. There is also a special education school, Jordaan College, at 714 m. The area has a high density of schools, with 220 within 5 km.
The nearest train station is 1.8 km away. That's about a 20-minute walk or a short tram ride. Amsterdam Central Station is well connected to national and international destinations.
With 272 m² of living space, there is plenty of room for a family. However, the neighbourhood has relatively few families (only 125 households with children out of 1,875 residents). The home itself is a townhouse over multiple floors, so it offers space and privacy. The presence of several primary schools within walking distance is a plus.
The neighbourhood recorded 271 total crimes in the latest data. Given the high population density and central location, this is not unusually high for a city centre.
