Amsterdam Architecture - Canal-Side Living

This is a typical (and also one of my favourite) types of views in Amsterdam. The tall thin houses and the houseboats floating in the canal. I had a look recently as to how much a house like that would set you back if you wanted on and my god its crazy. Many of the buildings are used now as offices or as shops, but a good number are still used as people's family homes, I'm guessing they'll never sell them though and just pass them on in the family because they're so hard to get a hold of. One of those will set you back about €4million. The house boats about €1.5million but with the added cost of annual berthing fees. Some are less of course but this seemed to be the norm from what I could see.

Thanks for Looking.

Goodness that is a fortune to pay for a house. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful setting. The colors of the houses and houseboats contrast lovely with the green of the trees. Still has the old world charm.
