About Brouwersgracht 55C, Amsterdam
The asking price of €580,000 is 61% below the neighbourhood average of €1.48 million, but the apartment is also 63% smaller than the average (49 m² vs 134 m²). On a per-square-metre basis, the price is roughly €11,837, which is in line with the neighbourhood average of €11,504 per m². So the price is keen relative to the neighbourhood median, but reflects the compact size.
The energy label is B, which is good for a historic building from 1759. It means the home is reasonably energy-efficient, with lower heating costs compared to older properties with labels D or lower. In the neighbourhood, 21% of homes have label B, while 42% have D or worse.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a 15,20 minute walk. This makes it feasible for commuting, though not on your doorstep. The area is well served by trams and buses as well.
The neighbourhood recorded 156 total crimes in the latest data. Given the high population density (1,920 residents) and central location, this is moderate. The area is generally considered safe, but as with any city centre, it pays to be aware of your surroundings.

This is an apartment built in 1759, so it is part of Amsterdam's historic canal belt. The building is likely a classic canal house converted into flats. The energy label B suggests it has been modernised to some extent.
