Plantage, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1853 terraced house on Plantage Lepellaan sits in one of Amsterdam's most characterful corners. With 103 m² over three floors and a 75 m² plot, it's compact but full of potential. The energy label B is decent for a home of this age. At €1,440,000, the price is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €1,347,500, but that reflects the rarity of a house in an area dominated by flats. For context, there are only 24 homes for sale in the Plantage, and just 4% of the housing stock is single-family. Terraced houses in Amsterdam are scarce here.
The Plantage is a leafy, museum-dotted enclave east of the centre. With 2,520 residents, it's a mix of students, professionals and older households, many live alone (835 one-person households). The average household size is 1.6, and there are 215 families with children. It's very urban (7,316 addresses per km²), but the nearby Artis zoo and the Plantage park make it feel open. Neighbourhood Plantage has a lively, cultured feel. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and there's an AH to go a couple of streets away. Two more supermarkets, a SPAR express and a regular SPAR, are within a five-minute walk. Schools are close too: the Dr. E. Boekmanschool (primary) is a couple of streets away, and the Metis Montessori Lyceum (secondary) is just around the corner. The nearest park or garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just around the corner. Municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural amenities you'd expect.
