A pre-war apartment in Amsterdam's Scheldebuurt
This apartment on the Biesboschstraat sits in the Scheldebuurt-Midden neighbourhood, a pocket of Amsterdam that residents describe as a cosy little village in the middle of the city. The last known asking price of €689,500 was 19% below the average asking price of €852,540 for homes in this neighbourhood, and it also sat below the median asking price of €795,000.
