The neighbourhood Westelijke eilanden is a tight-knit, historic island neighbourhood with a village feel in the heart of Amsterdam. One resident describes it as 'very nice neighbourhood', and with just one review on the books, it's a quiet corner that doesn't shout about itself. The area is densely urban (over 7,800 addresses per km²) and home to many singles, average household size is 1.6. It's a mix of ages, with a notable share of residents over 65. The streets are lively but not chaotic, and the waterfront location gives it a special atmosphere.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Ekoplaza is a couple of streets away for organic bits. Montessori Basisschool de Eilanden is on your doorstep, making the school run a breeze, while De Zeeheld primary school is a five-minute walk. Older kids can reach Vinse School for secondary education within a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers everything you'd expect from a capital, but here on the islands you're just far enough from the tourist bustle.
At the time of writing the home is listed via DSTRCT Amsterdam and also appears on Funda through DSTRCT | Forbes Global Properties, so it's available through several channels.

About Zandhoek 3, Amsterdam

The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. That puts you within reach of the wider rail network without being right on top of the tracks.

The home has energy label C, which is average for a house of this age. It means the property has some insulation and double glazing, but you can expect moderate energy costs. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have label C, so it's in line with the local stock.
At €2,400,000 for 147 m², the price per m² is roughly €16,327. The neighbourhood average price per m² for homes currently for sale is €10,745, so this is significantly higher. That's typical for a historic waterside property in a location.
With 147 m² over several floors, there's plenty of space. The neighbourhood has a mix of households, including 295 with children. Schools and a child daycare centre are within walking distance. However, the house dates from 1660, so you'd need to consider the layout and any period features.
