Rapenburg, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Rapenburg sits in one of Amsterdam's most historic corners, where the cobbled streets hum with a mix of locals and visitors. At 79 m² it's a compact city home, but the high ceilings and period details give it a generous feel. The asking price of €850,000 is 21% below the neighbourhood average of €1,082,778, which makes it a keen entry point for this area, especially given that the average apartment here sells for around €1,162,083. For context, apartments in Amsterdam tend to command a premium, so this listing stands out.
Rapenburg is a tiny enclave within the Nieuwmarkt/Lastage district, with just over a thousand residents. It's a place of contrasts: young professionals and students mix with long-standing families, and the streets are lively day and night. The neighbourhood has a very high density of addresses (6,184 per km²), which means everything is close by. There are no resident reviews available for this street, but the area is known for its mix of independent shops, cafes and the nearby Nieuwmarkt square. Most homes here were built before 1945 (87.5%), and the housing stock is almost entirely apartments.
Your daily routine here is wonderfully compact. The SPAR supermarket is on your doorstep, perfect for a quick loaf of bread or a bottle of wine. For a bigger shop, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner. There are several primary schools within a ten-minute walk, including De Witte Olifant and St. Antoniusschool. The municipality Amsterdam offers excellent public transport links, with the train station 1.4 km away, a ten-minute walk, and trams and buses criss-crossing the area.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Boomsma & Bruinsma Makelaars. The listing is available on multiple platforms, so you can compare details across sites.

About Rapenburg 95-3, Amsterdam
The asking price of €850,000 is 21% below the average asking price in Rapenburg (€1,082,778) and also below the average sold price of €1,162,083. However, the apartment is smaller than the neighbourhood average (79 m² vs 120 m²). Given the price per m² (€10,758) is close to the neighbourhood average (€10,708), the price seems in line with the market for its size.
The apartment has energy label B, which is good for a building from 1882. In the neighbourhood, 28.6% of homes have label B, so it's typical. Label B means relatively low energy costs compared to older homes, though you should still expect reasonable heating bills in winter.
