Valkenburg, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Rapenburgerstraat sits in a quiet corner of the city centre, with the bustle of Nieuwmarkt just a short walk away.

The asking price of €495,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average, 39% below the average asking price of €806,667, partly because the floor area is 34% smaller than the local norm.
