Weteringbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 18th-century townhouse on the Derde Weteringdwarsstraat sits in the lively Weteringbuurt, just steps from the Prinsengracht.

About Derde Weteringdwarsstraat 42, Amsterdam
The asking price is 51% above the neighbourhood average of €1,189,896, but the home is also 58% larger than the typical Weteringbuurt property (179 m² vs 113 m²). The price per square metre works out to about €10,056, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €10,778 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting more space for your money compared to other homes in the area.
The home has energy label D. This is a common rating for a pre-war property (built in 1737). In the Weteringbuurt, 55.6% of homes have label D or lower, so this is typical for the area. A D label means moderate energy efficiency; heating costs will be higher than in a modern home, but the historic character and location often compensate.
The nearest train station is 2.8 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a short tram ride. However, the neighbourhood is very well served by trams and buses, with stops within a few minutes' walk. The central location means most of Amsterdam's attractions are easily reachable on foot or by bike.
The Weteringbuurt has a relatively small number of families with children (205 out of 1,570 households). Most residents are singles or couples without children. There are good schools nearby, including IKC De Kleine Reus (89 m) and Barlaeus Gymnasium (406 m), and several parks within walking distance. But the area is very urban and busy, which may suit some families more than others.
In the past period, 79 homes were sold in the Weteringbuurt at an average price of €1,068,392. The average time on market was 38 days, indicating a fairly active market. This home's asking price of €1,800,000 is significantly above that average, but it is also larger and more unique than most sold properties.
In the Weteringbuurt, a total of 212 crimes were recorded in the latest data. Given the population of 2,455, that works out to about 86 crimes per 1,000 residents. This is relatively high, which is typical for a very central, dense urban area. Most crime is likely petty theft and nuisance rather than violent crime.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. The plot size is 102 m², but that includes the footprint of the house itself. Given the historic canal-house style, there may be a small courtyard or no outdoor space at all.
