Den Texbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 150 m² apartment on Den Texstraat in Amsterdam's Den Texbuurt is a rare find. Built in 1879, it has the high ceilings and period details you'd expect from a 19th-century building, though the E energy label means heating costs will be significant. At €1,200,000, the price is 31% above the neighbourhood average of €915,000, but the floor area is 70% larger than the typical 88 m², so you're paying for space. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.
