The energy label is E, which is less efficient than most homes in the neighbourhood. In Binnenstad, 71.5% of homes have labels A, B, or C, while only 17.9% are D or lower. An E label means higher energy costs for heating and electricity, so factor that into your monthly budget.

Binnenstad is very central, with a supermarket (Albert Heijn) just 197 m away and several others within a few hundred metres. Schools, a GP (0.3 km), and a park (0.3 km) are all close by. The train station is 1.5 km away, so you can reach Amsterdam in about 20 minutes. The area is densely built and lively, with many restaurants and shops nearby.

In the most recent data, there were 383 total crimes reported in the neighbourhood. That is a relatively high number for a small area, but it reflects the busy city-centre environment. It is always a good idea to check local safety reports and visit the area at different times of day.

At 138 m², this apartment is 42% larger than the average home in Binnenstad (97 m²). It is also significantly bigger than the typical apartment in Purmerend. The extra space is a key selling point, especially if you need room for a home office or a family.

This is an apartment built in 1931, so it has character but may need some modernisation. In Binnenstad, 46.4% of homes were built before 1945, so this is typical for the area. The building likely has thick walls and high ceilings, but check the maintenance history.
