Frequently asked questions
About Abbenesstraat 5, Amsterdam
Was €700,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €700,000 was above the neighbourhood median of €575,000 and slightly above the average sold price of €608,260. However, at €11,290 per m², it was also above the neighbourhood average of €10,508 per m². The home was 62 m² with a pre-war character and energy label C, which might justify the premium for some buyers.

How far is the nearest train station?
