About Kerkstraat 165C, Amsterdam
The rent of €3,250 is above the neighbourhood average of €3,133 and the median of €2,750. However, this apartment is modern (built in 2009) with an A energy label, which is more efficient than many older properties in the area. The price per square metre (€43.92) is also higher than the neighbourhood average of €36.56, reflecting the premium for a newer, well-insulated home in a central location.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means the home has good insulation and modern heating systems, so you can expect relatively low energy costs compared to older properties with lower labels. In the Vijzelstraatbuurt, many homes have lower labels, so this is a strong point for this apartment.
The Vijzelstraatbuurt is very central, with a supermarket (Albert Heijn) just 214 m away and an Ekoplaza at 378 m.
