WG-terrein, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis spacious apartment on Eerste Helmersstraat sits in the heart of Amsterdam's Oud-West. The listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home's energy performance. At €1,650,000, the price is 84% above the neighbourhood average of €898,800, but the 184 m² floor area is 122% larger than the typical 83 m², so the price per m² is actually in line with the market. For context, see other apartments in Amsterdam.

Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience in the neighbourhood as a 21-year-old student is limited because I don't need to be there much; I would like to be more in touch with the neighbourhood, but that might be down to me, I don't know how. School and the facilities are pleasant and I feel at ease when I walk around.
