Frequently asked questions
About Lauriergracht 108-3, Amsterdam
Is €995,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €995,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €947,745 and well above the median of €700,000. However, this apartment is 132 m², while the average sold property in the area is 109 m². The price per m² works out at about €7,538, which is below the neighbourhood average of €9,497 per m². So you're getting more space for a lower per-square-metre rate.
What is the energy label D and what does it mean?
The home has energy label D, which is an official registration from EP-Online. Label D is in the middle of the scale, not the most efficient, but not the least either. In the neighbourhood, 13.3% of homes have a label D or lower, while the majority (over 57%) have labels A, B or C. Expect moderate energy costs, but the exact amount depends on your usage.
How is the public transport in the Elandsgrachtbuurt?
The nearest train station is 2.6 km away, so it's not on your doorstep. But the neighbourhood is well served by trams and buses that connect to the city centre and beyond. Many residents find the transport links good, one review mentions being "by tram in the city centre in no time." For longer journeys, you'd likely cycle or take a tram to a main station.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
The Elandsgrachtbuurt has a mix of residents, but it's not especially family-oriented: only 335 households have children out of 2,585 total households. Most homes are apartments (97%), and the average household size is 1.5 people. That said, there are several primary schools within walking distance, and the area is safe and cosy according to residents.
How safe is the neighbourhood?
Residents feel safe. One review says: "I feel quite safe there, despite the crowds." Another mentions "little to no trouble with crime." The total number of recorded crimes in the neighbourhood is 421, but without context it's hard to compare. The general sentiment from the three reviews is positive on safety.
What is the history of the building?
The building was constructed in 1882, which is typical for the Jordaan, 77.2% of homes in the neighbourhood were built before 1945. The listing does not provide details about the condition of the building or any renovations. The year of construction is a fact, not a diagnosis of the state of the property.
Are there any outdoor spaces like a garden or balcony?
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, terrace or any other outdoor space. The plot size is not stated either, so it's not possible to infer whether there is private outdoor space.
