Lastage, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Oudeschans sits in one of Amsterdam's most atmospheric corners, where the cobbles and canal bridges set a distinctly historic scene.

At €1,198,000, the asking price is 46% above the average in Lastage, but the size and location explain that. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, and this one is clearly at the upper end.
