Makassarpleinbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 46 m² apartment on Makassarstraat in Amsterdam's Indische Buurt has a 1925 shell but an A energy label, so it's efficient without losing its character. At €700,000 it's on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but that partly reflects the excellent label. For context, the average apartments in Amsterdam sells for around €8,552 per m², so this one is above that too.
