Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood generally looks green, quiet and pleasant. Neighbourly contact is generally very good, but there are also some canal-belt types who walk around with their nose in the air and can't even manage a greeting. But that shouldn't spoil the fun.

About Kromme Waal 11D, Amsterdam
The asking price of €680,000 is 17% below the neighbourhood average of €823,154, which makes it a keen entry point. However, the apartment is smaller than average (58 m² vs 101 m²) and has an energy label G, which means higher heating costs. The price per m² works out at about €11,724, compared to the neighbourhood average of €8,598 per m², so you're paying a premium for the central location and historic character.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, indicating poor energy efficiency. The home was built in 1768 and likely has single glazing, minimal insulation, and an old heating system. This means you can expect high energy bills, especially in winter. It's worth factoring in potential renovation costs for improvements like double glazing or insulation, though the exact costs depend on the building's status and what's permitted.
For daily shopping, you have several supermarkets within a five-minute walk: Albert Heijn at 299 metres, another Albert Heijn at 310 metres, and an AH to go at 316 metres. There's also a SPAR at 416 metres. For other errands, a GP practice is 400 metres away, and a library is 1 km away. The area is very walkable, with restaurants just 200 metres from your door.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. St. Antoniusschool (251 metres) and De Witte Olifant (584 metres) are the closest. For secondary education, Vinse School is about 1 km away. The neighbourhood has a good mix of educational options, though secondary schools are a bit further out, with the nearest at 2.1 km.
The nearest train station is 0.9 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting to other parts of Amsterdam or further afield.
Lastage recorded 153 total crimes in the latest data, which for a central Amsterdam neighbourhood is moderate. The area feels safe, especially on the quieter streets, and residents mention that people look out for each other.
Lastage has a mix of residents, but only 80 households have children out of 691 homes, so it's not a typical family neighbourhood. Most households are singles (410) or couples without children (220). The area is quiet and has good schools nearby, but the apartment itself is compact at 58 m², which may suit couples or singles more than families with children.
