Keizersgracht 624
Vijzelstraatbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodA canal-side gem on the Keizersgracht
This monumental 17th-century townhouse on the Keizersgracht is a rare find. With 330 m² of living space spread over multiple floors, it offers a sense of space that is hard to match in the city centre. The asking price of €3,250,000 is well above the neighbourhood average of €847,500, but that reflects the exceptional size and historic character. For context, terraced houses in Amsterdam at this level are few and far between.
The Vijzelstraatbuurt
The Vijzelstraatbuurt is part of the Grachtengordel-Zuid, a UNESCO World Heritage area. It's a lively, central neighbourhood with a mix of residents: many singles and couples, and a fair number of older residents too. The streets are busy, but the canals bring a certain calm. One resident says: "It's wonderful to live here, everything is on your doorstep, yet it never feels too hectic." Another notes: "The neighbours are friendly and the area feels safe." Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood Vijzelstraatbuurt is clearly appreciated for its convenience and atmosphere.
Daily life on the street
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner. There's also an Ekoplaza a couple of streets away for organic groceries. For families, IKC De Kleine Reus is a five-minute walk, and Barlaeus Gymnasium is just around the corner for secondary education. The municipality Amsterdam offers a wealth of cultural venues, restaurants and parks within easy reach.

Frequently asked questions
About Keizersgracht 624, Amsterdam
Is €3,250,000 a fair price for this home?
The asking price is significantly higher than the neighbourhood average of €847,500, but this home is also much larger than typical properties in the area. The average price per square metre in the Vijzelstraatbuurt is €8,762, while this home works out at about €9,848 per m². Given its monumental status and prime canal location, the premium is not unusual for such a property.
How does the size compare to other homes in the area?
With 330 m² of living space, this home is 237% larger than the neighbourhood average of 98 m². Most homes in the Vijzelstraatbuurt are apartments, so a townhouse of this scale is exceptional. The plot of 180 m² is also generous for a canal house.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The home has energy label D. This is common for a 17th-century building, many properties in the area have label A or lower. Label D means moderate energy efficiency, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home. The neighbourhood has 66.7% label A and 33.3% label D or lower.
How quickly do homes sell in this neighbourhood?
Homes in the Vijzelstraatbuurt sell on average in 19 days, which indicates a fast-moving market. However, properties at this price level may take longer to find the right buyer. The limited supply of large canal houses means there is always interest.
What public transport is nearby?

Yes, there are several schools within walking distance. IKC De Kleine Reus (primary) is 320 m away, and Barlaeus Gymnasium (secondary) is 448 m away. A child daycare centre is 0.51 km from the home, making it convenient for families.

Experiences from Amsterdam
How residents experience their municipality
Een hele fijne, rustige buurt met veel groen en geweldige bomen die verkoeling en ontspanning bieden. 's nachts is het er stil en donker. Dat vind ik belangrijk voor de dieren. De buurt is goed bereikbaar met metro 54 en voorzieningen zijn op loopafstand in winkelcentrum de Poort. 1 ding is een ongelofelijke doorn in het oog en dat is de hygiene. Het is dagelijks een puinzoo bij de vuilcontainers. Zwerfafval waait overal naar toe. En hoewel we met een aantal bewoners dagelijks 'prikken' en opruimen is het een never ending story. Ik zou zo graag zien dat daar een oplossing voor komt.

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.
