Frequently asked questions
About Keizersgracht 223A, Amsterdam
Is €4,100,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price is 96% above the neighbourhood average of €2,088,786, which is a significant premium. However, the apartment is also 40% larger than the average (256 m² vs 183 m²) and located on the Keizersgracht in a 1620 building. The price per m² works out at about €16,016, compared to the neighbourhood average of €12,914 per m². Whether that is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the historic canal location.
What is the energy label E worth?
Energy label E is the second-lowest label on the scale. It means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to a home with a better label. The label is an official registration from EP-Online and does not necessarily say anything about the condition of the building, it could be caused by the heating system or other factors. In the neighbourhood, 44.8% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 2.0 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride. The station is not named in the listing, but from the centre of Amsterdam you have access to all major destinations.
What is the neighbourhood like in terms of safety?
The CBS data records 466 total crimes in the neighbourhood, but without a per-capita figure or a breakdown by type, it is hard to draw a conclusion. The area is very central and busy, which can bring both vibrancy and nuisances. For a detailed picture, you would need to consult local crime statistics or ask residents.
How many bedrooms does this apartment have?
The floor area is 256 m², which is large, but the layout is not described. You would need to check the floor plan or contact the agent for the exact room count.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, terrace, or any outdoor space. The plot size is not given either, so it is safe to assume there is no private garden. The nearest park or public garden is 1.0 km away.
