About Houtmankade 14-3, Amsterdam
The asking price of €550,000 is close to the neighbourhood average of €543,750 and slightly above the median of €465,000. Given the 55 m² floor area, the price per m² is €10,000, which is above the neighbourhood average of €8,832 per m². However, the home is a pre-war apartment in a sought-after area, so the premium reflects its character and location.
Energy label D indicates that the home is not particularly energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to homes with labels A, B, or C. In the neighbourhood, 33.3% of homes have label A and 25% have label B, so this apartment is on the less efficient side. It's worth budgeting for higher energy expenses.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride. This distance means that while the home is well-connected by tram and bus, train travel requires a bit more planning.
The Spaarndammerbuurt-Noordoost has a relatively low proportion of families with children (305 out of 1,665 households). The area is very urban and densely populated, with many singles and couples. However, there are several primary schools within walking distance, including De Zeeheld and Daltonschool De Spaarndammerhout, so it can work for families who prefer city living.
Currently, there are 12 apartments for sale in the neighbourhood. The average time on market for sold homes is 36 days, which suggests a fairly active market. With limited supply, homes in this price range tend to attract interest.
The neighbourhood recorded 186 total crimes in the latest data. Given the high population density, this number is moderate. It's always a good idea to check local safety reports and visit the area at different times to get a feel for the atmosphere.
