Markengouw-Midden, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 2023-built apartment on Grootslagstraat feels fresh and modern, with an A++ energy label that keeps running costs low.

About Grootslagstraat 71, Amsterdam
The asking price is 22% below the neighbourhood average of €674,875, but the apartment is also 32% smaller than the typical 118 m². Given its brand-new build (2023) and A++ energy label, the price per m² works out to about €6,563, slightly above the neighbourhood average of €5,823 per m². So it's priced keenly for its size, but you're paying a premium for modern efficiency.
The energy label is A++, the highest possible. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with excellent insulation and likely a heat pump or similar system. Heating and electricity costs will be very low compared to older homes. In the neighbourhood, 78% of homes have label A or better, so this fits right in.
