For years, the most expensive neighbourhood in the Netherlands was in Wassenaar — but not anymore. As housing prices are skyrocketing country-wide, a new neighbourhood has taken the crown. 👑
And it is — *drumroll please* — the Diepenbrockbuurt in Amsterdam-Zuid.
Welkom to the Diepenbrockbuurt 💸
As Het Parool writes, the mainly pre-war houses in the Diepenbrockbuurt, which spreads on either side of the Zuider Amstelkanaal, have become more valuable in the past year.
On average, a home in this neighbourhood now costs a whopping €2.67 million.

As one lady told De Telegraaf in a TikTok interview, she bought her house in the Diepenbrockbuurt for 450,000 Guilders (around €230,000). Today, it’s worth €1.5 million.
Now that’s a good investment. 👇

And the most expensive street?
Although the Diepenbrockbuurt is the most expensive neighbourhood in the Netherlands, the country’s most expensive street is the Konijnenlaan in Wassenaar.
Here, the average house had a value of €3.1 million in 2023. 😳

That being said, the five streets with the most multimillion-dollar homes are all in Amsterdam:
- The Keizersgracht (600 homes),
- The Prinsengracht (almost 500),
- the Valeriusstraat (more than 350),
- the Herengracht (more than 300) and
- the Johannes Verhulststraat.
