About Plantage Middenlaan 9-1, Amsterdam
The asking price is 34% above the neighbourhood average of €1,347,500. However, this apartment is also 37% larger than the average (179 m² vs 131 m²), and it sits in a monumental building on a prime street. The price per m² works out at roughly €10,055, which is in line with the neighbourhood average of €10,455. So the price reflects the extra space and the classic location, but it is on the high side compared to typical listings in the Plantage.
The energy label is E. In the Plantage, most homes for sale have a better label: 12.5% are A+, 25% are A, 25% are B, and 16.7% are C. Only 20.8% are D or lower. So this apartment is less efficient than the majority of the local stock. You can expect higher heating bills, especially given the size of the property.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle.
The Plantage has 215 households with children, which is a modest number. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and the area is safe and green. However, the majority of residents are single-person households (835), so it is not a typical family suburb. The quiet streets and proximity to parks make it pleasant for children, but the housing stock is mostly apartments.
At 179 m², this apartment is 37% larger than the neighbourhood average of 131 m². It is one of the bigger homes currently for sale in the Plantage. The average sold price per m² is €10,455, so the size is a key factor in the asking price.
Parking in the Plantage is limited, as in most of central Amsterdam. The property does not include a garage or parking spot in the listing. Residents typically rely on street parking with a permit, or use nearby public car parks.
The building dates from 1848, which is typical for the Plantage, 51.3% of homes in the neighbourhood were built before 1945. The apartment has an energy label E, which suggests the original features may be intact but insulation is limited. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you would need to inspect the condition yourself.
