Keizersgracht 698A

The asking price is 195% above the neighbourhood average of €847,500, but this apartment is also 109% larger than the average home in the Vijzelstraatbuurt (205 m² vs 98 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €12,195, which is above the neighbourhood average of €8,762. Given the prime canal location and historic character, the price is on the high side but reflects the unique property.

At 205 m², this apartment is more than double the average floor area in the Vijzelstraatbuurt, where the average is 98 m². Most homes in the neighbourhood are smaller, with a typical price per m² of €8,762. The generous space is a key factor in the higher asking price.

The apartment has an energy label D. This is less efficient than the majority of homes in the neighbourhood, where 66.7% have an A label. A D label means higher energy costs for heating and electricity compared to more modern or better-insulated homes. It is worth factoring in potential upgrades.

Homes in this neighbourhood sell relatively quickly, with an average time on the market of 19 days. This suggests a fast-moving market, so if you are interested, you may want to act promptly. However, this particular apartment is priced well above the local average, which could affect its time on the market.

The Vijzelstraatbuurt is very urban, with a high density of addresses. You have a supermarket (Albert Heijn) just around the corner, and several primary schools within a five- to ten-minute walk. The area is well served by restaurants and a park is a short stroll away. The train station is 2.5 km away, so cycling or tram is more practical for longer journeys.

Currently, there are only 4 homes for sale in the Vijzelstraatbuurt, making the market very tight. This apartment is one of the few available, and its size and price set it apart from the others, which range from €550,000 to €1,295,000.
