Westelijke eilanden, Amsterdam
A canal-side classic in the Westelijke eilanden
This apartment sits in the Westelijke eilanden, a cluster of islands in the heart of Amsterdam where the city's maritime past meets everyday city life. The home is a third-floor flat in a building from 1884, so it carries the character of a bygone era. This listing does not state the energy label, so you cannot judge running costs from the listing alone. At 58 m² (according to the BAG registration), the asking price of €495,000 works out at €8,534 per m². That is 51% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €1,017,579, which puts it on the low side for the area. For context, [apartments in Amsterdam] vary widely in price depending on size and condition.

The apartment was built in 1884, making it part of the pre-1970 housing stock that dominates this postcode area.
