A classic Amsterdam apartment
This apartment on John Franklinstraat 73-2 sits in the John Franklinbuurt, part of the Van Galenbuurt district in Amsterdam.

The asking price of €425,000 is keen compared with the neighbourhood average asking price of €564,800, which puts it 25% below that figure. This listing does not state the energy label, so that information is missing from the agent's publication. For context, the price per square metre is €8,333 based on the BAG registration, and there are currently 25 apartments for sale in the neighbourhood, with an average asking price of €564,800.
