Leidsebuurt-Noordoost, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1865 townhouse on the Spiegelgracht sits right in the thick of Amsterdam's museum quarter. The listing does not state a house number, so the exact location within the street and some neighbourhood figures may differ from the actual home. At €1,895,000, the asking price is 63% above the neighbourhood average of €1,160,906, but the 140 m² floor area is 40% larger than the typical 100 m² in the area, so the price per square metre is in line with the market. For context, terraced houses in Amsterdam vary widely in price.
The neighbourhood Leidsebuurt-Noordoost is one of Amsterdam's most central and lively neighbourhoods. With an address density of 9,487 per km², it's extremely urban. The population is young, over half are between 25 and 45, and most households are single-person. One resident describes it as "Lively": "It's incredibly busy here, which has both advantages and disadvantages. There's a lot of noise and few rules because of it. But there's also plenty of cosiness and always something to do!" They note that neighbours aren't very involved with each other. The area has a high proportion of pre-war housing (89%) and a mix of energy labels, with 43% rated D or lower.
Daily errands are easy on foot. The Ekoplaza organic supermarket is just around the corner, and there are several Albert Heijn branches within a five-minute walk. For school runs, the Barlaeus Gymnasium is on your doorstep, while IKC De Kleine Reus primary school is a couple of streets away.

It's incredibly busy here, which has both advantages and disadvantages. There's a lot of noise and few rules because of it. But there's also plenty of cosiness and always something to do! I think it's a shame that the residents are not at all involved with each other. This would be the biggest point for improvement.

About Spiegelgracht 38, Amsterdam
The asking price is 63% above the neighbourhood average of €1,160,906, but the home is also 40% larger than the typical 100 m² in the area. The price per square metre works out to about €13,536, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €12,020 per m². Given the prime canal-side location and the size, the price is on the high side but not unreasonable.
Leidsebuurt-Noordoost is a very lively, densely populated area in the heart of Amsterdam. It's extremely urban with a high address density. The population is young, with many singles and few families. One resident describes it as lively but noisy, with little neighbourly involvement. The area has a high proportion of pre-war buildings and a mix of energy labels.
The nearest train station is 2.7 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short tram ride. The area is well served by trams and buses, making it easy to reach other parts of the city.
Barlaeus Gymnasium (secondary school) is just 123 metres away, literally on your doorstep. For primary education, IKC De Kleine Reus is 367 metres away, and the Cornelis Vrijschool is 508 metres away. There are many other schools within a short distance.
The home has energy label D. This is a mid-range rating, meaning the property is reasonably efficient but not as well insulated as modern homes. Heating costs will be moderate. In the neighbourhood, 43% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for a pre-war house.
The plot size is 44 m², but the listing does not mention a garden. Given the canal-side location and the age of the property, it is likely that the outdoor space is limited to a small courtyard or no garden at all.
