Frequently asked questions
About Brouwersgracht 55C, Amsterdam
Is €580,000 a fair price for this apartment?
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.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
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.
How far is the nearest train station?
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.
What is the neighbourhood like in terms of safety?
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.
Are there schools nearby?
Yes, there are several schools within walking distance. De Burght primary school is just 150 m away, and the Vinse School for secondary education is 191 m away. Other options include Theo Thijssenschool (687 m) and Montessori Basisschool de Eilanden (857 m).
What is the property type and year of construction?
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.
How many rooms does the apartment have?
With 49 m², it is likely a one-bedroom or studio apartment, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
