Vinkenstraat 20

A piece of Amsterdam history

This 19th-century terraced house on the Vinkenstraat sits in the heart of the city, where the streets hum with life. The listing does not state an energy label, so the home's energy performance is unknown. At €1,290,000, the asking price is 41% above the neighbourhood average of €911,739, but the 119 m² floor area is 25% larger than the typical 95 m² in the area, a combination that puts it on the high side for the market. For context, terraced houses in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.

Haarlemmerbuurt-West

The neighbourhood Haarlemmerbuurt-West is a dense, central pocket of Amsterdam with 2,410 residents, mostly one-person households (950). Two residents reviewed the area: one calls it "cosy" and notes "everything at hand, it's the centre, centrally located"; another finds it "a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in" with "a good atmosphere and many amenities", though homeless people and tourists cause nuisance and the neighbourhood can be unhygienic. The area is very strongly urban (9,665 addresses per km²), with a mix of ages, many 25-45 year olds (835) and a fair share of over-65s (475).

Life on the street

For daily groceries, Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, with Ekoplaza and Jumbo just a couple of streets away. The Vinse School (secondary) is 139 metres away, and primary schools like de Burght and Montessori Basisschool de Eilanden are within a five- to ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and practical amenities you'd expect from the capital.
