Nieuwe Leliestraat 139
Bloemgrachtbuurt, Amsterdam
AreaA grand terraced house on the Nieuwe Leliestraat
This is a substantial terraced house on the Nieuwe Leliestraat, right in the heart of the Jordaan. With 150 m² of living space, it is a generous home for the area, and the classic 1871 facade gives it real character. The asking last known rent of €3,950 per month was on the high side compared with the average of €4,278 for terraced houses in Amsterdam, but the size explained much of that. The energy label was C, which was a mid-range label, so heating costs would be moderate. This home has not been online since 3 September 2026.

Frequently asked questions
About Nieuwe Leliestraat 139, Amsterdam
Was €3,950 a fair rent for this terraced house?
The rent of €3,950 sat below the neighbourhood average of €4,278 for rental homes, though that average covers all property types. With 150 m², this home is 27% larger than the typical rental in the area, which averages 118 m². Given the size and the central Jordaan location, the rent was in line with what the market asked for comparable space.
How did the energy label C affect running costs?
Energy label C is a mid-range label, officially registered in the national energy register. It means the home is neither the most efficient nor the least efficient on the scale. The label itself does not say anything about the condition of the building.
What is the neighbourhood like for daily life?
The Bloemgrachtbuurt is a very urban area with a high address density and a lively atmosphere. Most households are single people, and the largest age group is 25-45. For daily errands, the Dirk supermarket is just around the corner at 312 metres, and several Albert Heijn branches are within a short walk. The nearest primary school is 264 metres away.
How quickly do rental homes in this area go?
Rental homes in the Bloemgrachtbuurt are let on average within 19 days, according to recent market data. There were at the time 10 rental properties available in the neighbourhood, with prices ranging from €2,250 to €6,500. This suggests a steady turnover rather than a market where homes sit vacant for long.
Is the train station within walking distance?
The nearest train station is 2.3 km from the home. That is a manageable distance, though it is more of a cycle or short tram ride than a quick walk. For those who commute regularly, the station offers connections to the wider region, and the central location means many parts of Amsterdam are accessible without needing the train at all.
