Frequently asked questions
About Da Costakade 149A, Amsterdam
Is €3,450 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is 21% above the neighbourhood average of €2,851, but the apartment is also larger than the typical rental (75 m² vs 67 m²) and has an A energy label, which keeps running costs low. In a market where rentals go in an average of 20 days, the price reflects the quality and location.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, the most efficient category. That means the home is officially registered as very energy-efficient, so you can expect low heating and electricity costs compared to older properties. The label is a registration in EP-Online, not a statement about the building's condition.
