A classic Amsterdam apartment with a keen price
This upper-floor apartment on Maritzstraat sits in the Transvaalbuurt-West neighbourhood, a part of Amsterdam where the streets have a lived-in, everyday rhythm. Built in 1914, the building is typical of the area's pre-war housing stock. The asking price of €450,000 is keen compared with the neighbourhood average asking price of €525,222, which makes it stand out in the current market. For context, the average asking price for apartments in Amsterdam reflects the wider city market, but this home is priced below the local norm.

The apartment spans one floor and includes three rooms, two bedrooms and one bathroom. According to the agent, the living area is 54 m², while the BAG registration lists 52 m². The home has double glazing and a central heating boiler. It is located on the second floor, and the agent lists a volume of 192 m³. The energy label is C, which means the home is moderately efficient; expect reasonable energy costs, though not the lowest.
