About Pigmentstraat 19, Amsterdam
The rent is 17% above the average for the Cruquiusbuurt, where the median rent is €1,816 and the average is €1,704. Given that this is a new-build (2021) with an A++ energy label, the premium reflects the modern standard and low energy costs. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value a brand-new, highly efficient home in a central Amsterdam neighbourhood.
The energy label is A++, the highest possible. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. New-build homes in the Netherlands typically achieve this rating thanks to excellent insulation, triple glazing, and often a heat pump or solar panels.
