About Orteliusstraat 217-2, Amsterdam
At 49 m², the price per square metre is around €9,184. That's on the high side for an apartment in this part of Amsterdam, but the pre-war character and the quiet street add value. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it's hard to say exactly how it stacks up, but the listing price suggests the seller is confident in the location.
Energy label D means the home is moderately efficient. You can expect higher energy bills than a modern apartment, especially in winter. The building dates from 1927, so original features like high ceilings and thick walls may help, but the heating system and insulation are likely older. It's worth checking the exact energy performance certificate for details.
