I live on the Singel, which is quite busy with traffic, but the streets behind it (between the Singel and the railway) are actually very quiet and peaceful. This is also because there are few amenities in this part. However, you can easily reach all necessary shops on foot. Due to the few cafés in these streets, there is little sense of community. The quiet streets behind the house can sometimes be scary when you have to walk through them at night. Especially the stretch from the central station to home passes dark parks and offices that are empty in the evening. Living on the Singel, apart from the traffic, is very nice because you can (run) along the Singel in the greenery straight away. Hygiene is fine. The bins are not often too full.

The asking price of €425,000 is 19% below the neighbourhood average of €525,455, which suggests it is keenly priced. However, the apartment is 66 m², smaller than the neighbourhood average of 76 m², so the price per m² is in line with the market. The final sale price will depend on demand and the condition of the property.
The energy label is C, which is an official registration from EP-Online. Label C indicates moderate energy efficiency; you can expect reasonable but not minimal energy costs. The label does not directly tell you about the insulation or heating system, so it's worth considering your own energy usage expectations.
