Felix Meritisbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Herengracht sits in one of Amsterdam's most iconic stretches. 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 itself. At €1,295,000, the asking price is 37% below the neighbourhood average of €2,047,568, which is partly explained by the 106 m² floor area being 37% smaller than the average 168 m². Compared to other apartments in Amsterdam, this is a keen price for a historic canal property.

About Herengracht 242B, Amsterdam
The asking price is 37% below the neighbourhood average of €2,047,568, but the floor area (106 m²) is also 37% smaller than the average 168 m². The median price in the Felix Meritisbuurt is €1,250,000, so this apartment is priced close to the median.

In the neighbourhood, 40.6% of homes have a label D or lower, and 37.5% have label C. Without the label, you cannot be sure of the home's energy efficiency.
The nearest train station is 2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short tram ride.
Within a ten-minute walk you have the 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan (452 m) and the Theo Thijssenschool (668 m), both primary schools. For secondary education, the nearest school is 0.9 km away.
The CBS data records 466 total crimes in the neighbourhood, but without a per-capita comparison it is hard to judge. The area is densely populated and central, so typical city-centre dynamics apply.
The agent has not published the energy label for this apartment.
