About Nicolaas Witsenstraat 19C, Amsterdam
The asking price is 27% below the neighbourhood average of €1,606,182, and the floor area of 142 m² is 26% larger than the neighbourhood average of 113 m². This suggests the price is keen relative to other homes in the Frederikspleinbuurt. However, the property has an energy label C, which is typical for a pre-war building, and the exact condition is not detailed in the listing.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. In the neighbourhood, 41.7% of homes have label C, while 25% have label A and 33.3% have label B. A C label means heating costs will be moderate, but not as low as a modern, well-insulated home.
The nearest train station is 2.7 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short tram ride. The neighbourhood is well-served by trams and buses, making it easy to reach other parts of Amsterdam.
The Frederikspleinbuurt has a mix of residents, but only about 13% of households have children, so it is not a family-dominated area. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and the streets are safe. However, the apartment itself is in a pre-war building without a garden, which may not suit all families.
Currently, 11 apartments are for sale in the Frederikspleinbuurt, with prices ranging from €525,000 to €4,750,000. The median price is €1,075,000, so this apartment is slightly above the median but below the average due to a few very expensive listings.
The neighbourhood recorded 121 total crimes in the latest data, which is moderate for a central Amsterdam area. The streets feel safe during the day, and the presence of many cafes and shops adds to the lively but secure atmosphere.
Jumbo and Albert Heijn are just 65 metres away, so you can do your daily shopping on your doorstep. Lidl and Dirk are about 300-350 metres away. A GP is 500 metres away, and a park is 200 metres away, making errands and leisure very convenient.
