Hercules Seghersbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Govert Flinckstraat sits in one of Amsterdam's liveliest neighbourhoods. With 87 m² of living space, it is 40% larger than the local average, and the A+ energy label is exceptionally efficient, only 9% of homes for sale in the area have that rating. The asking price of €825,000 is 37% above the neighbourhood average of €603,464, which reflects the generous size and top energy performance. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one stands out for its combination of space and efficiency.
The Hercules Seghersbuurt is a dense, urban pocket of the Oude Pijp with a very strong city feel (address density over 10,000 per km²). Most residents are singles (1,185 out of 2,535 inhabitants), and the average household size is just 1.4. The area is dominated by pre-war housing, 93.5% of homes were built before 1945, and there are no single-family houses. No resident reviews are available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from CBS data: a young, active population with many people aged 25 to 45. For more on the area, see the Hercules Seghersbuurt neighbourhood.
Your daily routine here is wonderfully compact. The Coop supermarket is on your doorstep, and Jumbo is just around the corner. For fresh bread or a quick shop, Dirk and Albert Heijn are a five-minute walk away. Primary school Basisschool Oscar Carré is a couple of streets away, and several secondary schools, including Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam, are within a five-minute walk. A park or garden is 400 metres away, and a restaurant is practically next door. All this sits within the municipality of Amsterdam, where urban living is the norm.

About Govert Flinckstraat 104D, Amsterdam
The asking price is 37% above the neighbourhood average of €603,464, but this apartment is also 40% larger than the typical home in the area (87 m² vs 62 m²) and has an A+ energy label, which only 9% of local listings have. So the premium reflects above-average size and efficiency. Whether it is fair depends on how you value those extras.
An A+ label means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low heating and electricity bills compared to older homes in the neighbourhood, 93.5% of homes here were built before 1945 and often have much poorer labels. The exact savings depend on usage, but the label is a strong positive.
