About Alexanderkade 1-2, Amsterdam
The rent of €3,250 is above the neighbourhood average of €2,995 for rentals. However, this apartment is 238 m², which is much larger than typical rentals in Alexanderplein e.o. Given the size, monumental building and A++ energy label, the price is in line with what you would expect for a home of this quality.
The energy label is A++, the highest possible rating. This means the home is very energy-efficient, with low heating and electricity costs. It is unusual for a building from 1888 to have such a label, so it has likely been thoroughly renovated with modern insulation and installations.
The nearest train station is 1.4 km away, about a ten-minute walk. This gives you direct connections to other parts of the city and beyond.
The Metis Montessori Lyceum (secondary school) is just 127 metres away, literally on your doorstep. Primary schools within walking distance include Openbare Basisschool De Dapper (531 m) and Dr. E. Boekmanschool (614 m).
The neighbourhood recorded 33 crimes in the latest data, which for a densely populated urban area is moderate. As with any city centre, it is always wise to be aware of your surroundings, but there are no specific safety concerns reported.
With 238 m², it is likely to have multiple bedrooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
