About Houtmankade 59-2, Amsterdam
At 60 m², that works out to €8,750 per m², which is typical for a well-located apartment in this part of Amsterdam. The energy label C means moderate energy costs, and the 1903 construction gives it character. Without comparable sales data for the immediate street, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's not out of line with the area.
Planciusbuurt-Noord is a very urban area with a high density of addresses. It's mostly singles and couples, with few families, so it's relatively quiet for a central location. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, and the Haarlemmerdijk is just a few minutes' walk away.
Albert Heijn and Jumbo are both about 350 metres away, so you can walk there in under five minutes. Ekoplaza is a bit further at 445 metres. For a larger shop, there are many more options within a couple of kilometres.
The closest primary school is De Zeeheld, 264 metres away. Montessori Basisschool de Eilanden is 364 metres, and Basisschool Westerpark is 631 metres. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 0.9 km away.
The area is very well connected. The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, but trams and buses run frequently on nearby streets. The city centre is easily reachable by bike or public transport.
The apartment has energy label C, which is average for a building from 1903. You can expect reasonable energy bills, but it's not as efficient as a modern home. Double glazing and insulation may be present, but the listing doesn't specify.
