Leidsegracht-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1759 townhouse on the Leidsegracht is a rare find in the heart of the Grachtengordel. With 198 m² of living space spread over several floors, it offers generous proportions for the area. The asking price of €1,650,000 is 22% above the neighbourhood average of €1,348,000, but the home is also 53% larger than the typical 129 m² in the terraced houses in Amsterdam. That makes the price per m² roughly in line with the market.
The neighbourhood Leidsegracht-Zuid is one of Amsterdam's most central and historic neighbourhoods. With 710 residents and a very high density of 10,029 addresses per km², it is intensely urban. Most homes are pre-1945, and the area is popular with singles and couples, 270 one-person households and only 55 with children. The neighbourhood has no resident reviews in the data, so there is no direct feedback from locals.
For daily groceries, you have an AH to go just around the corner, and a full Albert Heijn and Jumbo within a five-minute walk. Schools are close by: the 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan is a couple of streets away, and the Barlaeus Gymnasium is also within walking distance. The Leidsegracht itself is a quiet canal in the middle of the city, with restaurants and cafés on your doorstep.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Makelaardij De Nederlanden and also appears on Funda, so it is available through several channels.

About Leidsegracht 47, Amsterdam
The asking price is 22% above the neighbourhood average of €1,348,000, but the home is also 53% larger than the typical 129 m². The price per square metre works out to roughly €8,333, which is below the neighbourhood average of €9,958 per m². So while the total price is high, you get significantly more space for your money.
The home has energy label D. That is common for a pre-1945 building, 40% of homes in the neighbourhood have label D or lower. Label D means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home. You may want to consider improvements like insulation or double glazing.
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away. That is a 25-30 minute walk or a short tram ride. The area is well served by trams and buses, so public transport connections are good.
Leidsegracht-Zuid has only 55 households with children out of 450 total, so it is not a typical family neighbourhood. Most residents are singles or couples. There are primary schools within walking distance, but the area is very urban and busy.
There are currently 8 homes for sale in the neighbourhood, with prices ranging from €449,000 to €3,280,000. The average asking price is €1,348,000, so this home is at the higher end. In the past year, 43 homes were sold, with an average selling price of €1,370,419.
