Frequently asked questions
About Koningslaan 39E, Amsterdam
Is €5,950 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €5,950 is above the average of €6,258 for rentals in the neighbourhood, but the median rent is €3,950, so it sits well above the middle of the market. With 94 m², the price per square metre works out higher than the neighbourhood average of €38.65 per m². Whether it is fair depends on what you value, but it is certainly at the upper end.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient label on the scale. This means the home is registered as having a very good energy performance, so you can expect relatively low energy costs compared with less efficient labels. The label is an official registration and does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
How does the floor area compare with other rentals in the area?
At 94 m², this apartment is 39% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 155 m² for rentals. That makes it a more compact option, which is reflected in the price per square metre being higher than the average of €38.65. If you are used to more space, this might feel snug, but it is a typical size for a two-bedroom apartment in this part of Amsterdam.
What is the neighbourhood like according to residents?
Based on one review, the neighbourhood scores 7 out of 10. The resident describes it as quiet but with little to do, almost no greenery, and very hot in summer.
