About Nieuwendammerkade 28C25, Amsterdam
The asking price is 81% above the neighbourhood average of €1,103,000, but this apartment is newer (2017) and has an A energy label, while many homes in the area are older. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €7,231, so for 105 m² that would be around €759,000, but that average includes smaller and older homes. The price reflects the premium for a modern, energy-efficient apartment in a sought-after green location.
At 105 m², this apartment is 31% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 153 m². However, the neighbourhood has a mix of property types: only 17% are single-family homes, and 59% are owner-occupied. The average floor area is skewed by larger homes, so this apartment is still a comfortable size for a couple or small family.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means the home has good insulation and modern heating systems, keeping energy costs relatively low. In the neighbourhood, 40% of homes have label A and another 40% have label B, so this apartment is in line with the best-performing homes in the area.
