Paramariboplein en omgeving, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 95 m² apartment on Bonairestraat sits in the Westindische Buurt, a quiet pocket of Amsterdam with a village feel. The 1930s building gives the home high ceilings and original details, while the E label means heating costs will be noticeable. At €795,000, the price is 25% above the neighbourhood average of €634,359, which is on the high side, but the floor area is 38% larger than the typical 69 m² in the area, so you get more space for your money. For context, this is one of the apartments in Amsterdam currently on the market.

It's a nice quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the city but still close to many good amenities that a city has to offer. The neighbourhood is still becoming more beautiful.
