About Banstraat 60-2, Amsterdam
The asking price of €1,600,000 is 44% below the neighbourhood average of €2,860,000. However, the floor area of 166 m² is 32% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 243 m². So while the price is lower, you're also getting less space. The median price in the Banpleinbuurt is €1,695,000, so this apartment is priced slightly below the middle of the market.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. In the neighbourhood, 58.3% of homes have label C, and only 16.7% have A or better. A C label means reasonable energy efficiency, but heating costs will be higher than in a modern home. The building dates from 1925, so insulation is likely limited.
The nearest train station is 2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle. Amsterdam's city centre and other stations are easily reachable by tram or bike.
Primary schools Peetersschool and Nicolaas Maes are both within a five-minute walk. For secondary education, Fons Vitae Lyceum and Sint Ignatiusgymnasium are also a short walk away. The area is well-served for families with school-age children.
Currently, 9 homes are for sale in the neighbourhood, with prices ranging from €1,050,000 to €8,950,000. The average price per square metre is €11,366. This apartment's price per square metre is about €9,639, which is below the neighbourhood average.
The Banpleinbuurt recorded 82 total crimes, which is low for a central Amsterdam neighbourhood. It's a quiet, residential area with a strong sense of community. The Museumkwartier is known for being safe and well-maintained.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. Given that this is a first-floor apartment in a 1925 building, it likely does not have private outdoor space. The Vondelpark is a ten-minute walk away for recreation.
