Living in Jordaan
Amsterdam, Authentic and cosy
About Jordaan
The Jordaan is one of Amsterdam's most iconic districts, just west of the canal belt. Once a working-class neighbourhood, today it is among the most desirable and atmospheric parts of the city. Narrow streets, historic almshouses (hofjes) and cosy terraces give it a village feel in the middle of the city.
The housing market is fiercely competitive. Characteristic canal houses and renovated warehouses dominate the supply, alongside smaller flats above shops and bars. Demand structurally outstrips supply, keeping prices high.
For buyers looking for authentic Amsterdam living with character, the Jordaan is unmatched. The district offers a unique combination of culture, conviviality and central living. Ons Soort Makelaars helps you find your dream home in this special neighbourhood.
