Felix Meritisbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis is a home that makes an impression: a spacious 686 m² townhouse on one of Amsterdam's most famous canals. The listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. With a price of €5,750,000, it sits well above the neighbourhood average, partly because of its exceptional size. For context, the average terraced houses in Amsterdam in this area is 168 m².
The Felix Meritisbuurt is the heart of the Grachtengordel-West, a UNESCO World Heritage area. It's a dense, lively neighbourhood with a mix of residents: many singles, some families, and a fair number of older residents. The streets are busy, with a very high address density (11,724 per km²). One resident says: "It's wonderful to live in the middle of the city, with everything at your doorstep." Another notes: "The canals are beautiful, but it can be noisy at night." The neighbourhood Felix Meritisbuurt has a high proportion of pre-war buildings and a mix of owner-occupied and rental homes.
Your daily routine here is shaped by the city centre. For bread and groceries, you have an Albert Heijn just around the corner, a Jumbo a couple of streets away, and another Albert Heijn within a five-minute walk. For school runs, the 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan is a five-minute walk, and the Theo Thijssenschool Amsterdam is about a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers a wide range of cultural amenities, from museums to theatres.
