Haarlemmerbuurt-Oost, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 159 m² apartment on Herenmarkt sits in one of Amsterdam's most historic corners, with the 1725 building giving it a real sense of age and character. The price of €1,800,000 is well above the neighbourhood average, but then the floor area is more than double the typical size in the area, so you are paying for space and a prime address. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one is clearly at the upper end.
The neighbourhood is densely urban (over 8,300 addresses per km²) and home to a mix of singles and couples, with few children. It's a lively, central pocket of Amsterdam where most homes were built before 1945. There are no resident reviews available for this specific street, but the area is known for its historic charm and proximity to the city centre. The neighbourhood Haarlemmerbuurt-Oost is compact and walkable, with a high proportion of rental properties.
For daily groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. Schools are close too: Vinse School (secondary) is a couple of streets away, and de Burght primary school is just around the corner. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and practical amenities you'd expect from the capital, with restaurants and a GP practice on your doorstep.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Heeren Makelaars.

About Herenmarkt 16-1, Amsterdam
The asking price is 109% above the neighbourhood average of €863,274, but the apartment is also 104% larger than the average home in the area (159 m² vs 78 m²). So while the price is high, you are getting significantly more space. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the historic character and central location.
The energy label is C, which is reasonable for a building from 1725. In the neighbourhood, 44% of homes have label A, 16% label B, 24% label C, and 16% are D or lower. So this home is in the middle of the pack, not the most efficient, but not the worst either.
The nearest train station is 1.3 km away, which is about a fifteen-minute walk. Given the high density and central location, you'll find plenty of options for getting around Amsterdam.
In the most recent data, there were 271 total crimes recorded in the neighbourhood. That is a relatively high number, but it reflects the very dense, central urban environment. As with any city centre, it's worth being aware of your surroundings, especially at night.
There are 31 apartments for sale in the neighbourhood, with prices ranging from €300,000 to €3,300,000. The average floor area is 78 m², so this 159 m² apartment is unusually large. Only a handful of properties in this price bracket come to market each year.
Homes that sold recently were on the market for an average of 48 days. That is a fairly typical timeframe for Amsterdam, not lightning fast, but not slow either. It suggests a balanced market where buyers take time to make decisions.
