Frequently asked questions
About Prinsengracht 301C, Amsterdam
Is €1,195,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price is 42% below the neighbourhood average of €2,047,568, which is striking. However, the floor area of 110 m² is 35% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 168 m². The price per m² works out at about €10,864, which is below the neighbourhood average of €13,167 per m². So it's priced keenly for the area, but the smaller size explains part of the difference.
What is the energy label?
In the Felix Meritisbuurt, 40.6% of homes have a label D or lower, and only 15.6% have A or better. Without the label, you would need to check the building's actual insulation and heating system.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 2.0 km away. That's about a 25-minute walk or a short tram ride. The area is well served by trams and buses, but for intercity trains you'd head to Amsterdam Centraal or Amsterdam Zuid.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
The Felix Meritisbuurt has relatively few families: only 145 households with children out of 1,480 total. Most residents are singles or couples without children. There are several primary schools within walking distance, but the area is very urban and busy, with a high density of shops, restaurants and cultural venues.
How safe is the Felix Meritisbuurt?
The neighbourhood recorded 466 total crimes in the latest data. That's a moderate number for such a central, high-density area.
What is the typical time to sell a home in this area?
Homes that sold in the Felix Meritisbuurt were on the market for an average of 64 days. That's just over two months, which suggests a balanced market, not extremely fast, but not slow either. The 82 sales in the period indicate reasonable turnover.
Are there any parks or green spaces nearby?
The nearest park or public garden is 1.0 km away. That's about a ten-minute walk. The Vondelpark is the closest major park, and the smaller Westerpark is also within reach. The area itself is very built-up, with canals and streets rather than gardens.
