About Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 299C, Amsterdam
The rent of €3,500 is slightly above the neighbourhood median of €3,250 but below the average of €3,743. Given that the apartment is 28% larger than the average (105 m² vs 82 m²), the price per m² is actually lower than the neighbourhood average of €39.15. So it represents reasonable value for the size, though the energy label G will add to monthly costs.
Begijnhofbuurt is a very dense, central Amsterdam neighbourhood with mostly single-person households. It is extremely urban, with a high density of addresses and plenty of restaurants, shops and nightlife. Residents appreciate the convenience but note that it can be noisy. The area has few families and children, so it is more suited to those who enjoy a lively city atmosphere.
There is an AH to go just 129 metres away, so literally on your doorstep. A SPAR is 170 metres away, and a full Albert Heijn is 235 metres away, all within a few minutes' walk. For more extensive shopping, a Dirk is 346 metres away.
The nearest primary school is the 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan, about 695 metres away (a ten-minute walk). Other primaries within walking distance include St. Antoniusschool and de Burght. For secondary education, the closest school is about 1.4 km away. There is also a special secondary school, Jordaan College, at 618 metres.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a 15-20 minute walk or a short tram ride. Given the central location, many other transport options like trams and buses are also nearby.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and heating costs will be high. You should expect significant utility bills, especially in winter. The apartment was built in 1905, so it likely has single glazing and poor insulation, which contributes to the low label.
Rental properties in Begijnhofbuurt are let on average within 21 days, which indicates a fast-moving market. With only 10 rentals currently available, competition can be strong. If you are interested, it is worth acting promptly.
