About Jan Luijkenstraat 66-2, Amsterdam
The asking price of €1,000,000 is 65% below the neighbourhood average of €2,864,900, which makes it appear keen. However, the apartment is 108 m², 41% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 182 m². The price per square metre works out to about €9,259, which is below the neighbourhood average of €15,628 per m². So it's priced competitively for the area, but the smaller size explains part of the difference.

Hooftbuurt, 25% of homes have label A+ and another 25% have label A, while only 16.7% have label D or lower. An E label means higher energy costs can be expected, especially in a 1902 building with original features.
The nearest train station is 3 km away, which is a bit of a distance. However, the neighbourhood is very well served by trams and buses, given its central location in Amsterdam. The high address density (8,596 per km²) indicates excellent urban connectivity.
