Langestraat en omgeving, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 18th-century apartment on the Prinsengracht is a rare find: 142 m² of living space in a monumental building, with an energy label F that tells you the heating bills will be substantial. The asking price of €1,529,000 is in line with the market, the median in the neighbourhood is €1,500,000, and the average price per m² is €11,504. For a sense of how this compares to other apartments in Amsterdam, the price is keen given the size and location.
The neighbourhood Langestraat e.o. is the historic Grachtengordel-West, with 97% of homes built before 1945. It's densely populated, 9,771 addresses per km², and mostly flats. The area is lively: 156 crimes were reported, which is typical for a central Amsterdam neighbourhood. There are no resident reviews available, but the figures speak for themselves: many singles (680 one-person households), a mix of ages, and a strong rental sector (52% rented).
Your morning bread run is just around the corner: an Albert Heijn and a Jumbo. For school runs, de Burght primary school is a couple of streets away, and Vinse School for secondary education is a five-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers everything you'd expect from a world city, with restaurants and a GP both on your doorstep.

About Prinsengracht 151A, Amsterdam
The asking price is €1,529,000, which is close to the neighbourhood median of €1,500,000 and the average of €1,483,960. The average price per m² in the area is €11,504, and this home works out at about €10,768 per m², so it's priced keenly for its size. However, the energy label F means higher running costs, which may affect the overall value.
The energy label is F, which is poor. In the neighbourhood, 42.1% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for an 18th-century building. You can expect high heating costs, and the home will need significant investment to improve its energy efficiency.
