John Blankensteinstraat 127B

A modern, energy-efficient apartment in Amsterdam's Sportheldenbuurt

This 2017-built apartment on John Blankensteinstraat is a compact but cleverly designed home in a young, lively part of Amsterdam. At 45 m², it's smaller than the neighbourhood average, but the A++++ energy label means running costs are very low. The rent of €1,950 is 17% below the neighbourhood average of €2,345, making it a keenly priced option compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.
