Columbusplein en omgeving · 1057 WG Amsterdam
A 1929 apartment in Amsterdam's Columbusplein area
This apartment on Marco Polostraat sits in the Columbusplein e.o. neighbourhood, a lively part of Amsterdam where the streets hum with everyday life. Built in 1929, it is a piece of the city's pre-war housing stock, and the area around it is densely built and very strongly urban, with over ten thousand addresses per square kilometre. The last known asking price of €499,000 was on the high side compared with the average for apartments in Amsterdam, where the average price per square metre came to €9,135.
This listing did not state the energy label. As a result the energy performance of the home is unknown. This home has not been online since 15 September 2026.
What the listing tells us
The agent gave a living area of 56 m² according to the BAG registration. The home is an apartment, and the year of construction is 1929. Beyond that, the listing was thin on detail, so there was little to say about the layout or installations.

WOZ and address data
The WOZ value was not stated in the available data, so no comparison with the asking price was possible. The address-level risk data gives an indication for the area rather than an inspection of this specific home. The foundation risk indication is medium, since the building dates from before 1970. Pluvial flooding at heavy rain is indicated as medium, and the current flood risk is low, remaining low in 2050. Heat stress is currently medium and is expected to be elevated by 2050. Road traffic noise is measured at 52 dB Lden, above the norm, while railway noise at 32 dB Lden and aircraft noise at 46 dB Lden both stay below it.
