Frequently asked questions
About Oudezijds Kolk 5C, Amsterdam
Is €1,200,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €1,200,000 is the highest of the 13 apartments currently for sale in Kop Zeedijk. It is 80% above the neighbourhood average asking price of €666,000. However, this apartment is also much larger than average (175 m² vs. the neighbourhood average of 1,189 m², note that average is skewed by a few very large properties). The price per square metre works out at about €6,857, which is below the neighbourhood average of €8,025/m². So while the total price is high, the per-square-metre cost is actually in line with the market.
How noisy is the neighbourhood?
Residents report that it can be very noisy, especially in summer evenings when windows are open. One review mentions street noise from tourists until 5 a.m., and that the old windows let in sound. The bedroom overlooks a courtyard, which helps, but noise still carries. If peace and quiet are a priority, this may be a consideration.
What is the neighbourhood like for amenities?
Kop Zeedijk is extremely well-served. There are several supermarkets within a couple of streets away, including Albert Heijn and AH to go. Primary schools are within a five- to ten-minute walk, and secondary schools are within 10,15 minutes. The central station is a ten-minute walk, and the area is packed with restaurants and cafes. Residents appreciate having everything nearby.
How old is the building and what does that mean?
The building dates from 1617, making it over 400 years old. The listing does not provide details on the condition of the structure or installations. In this neighbourhood, 40% of homes were built before 1945.
