Nieuwmarkt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Recht Boomssloot sits in the heart of Amsterdam's Nieuwmarkt area, a neighbourhood where the streets hum with life and history. At 56 m² it's compact, but the 1994 build means modern finishes and good insulation. With a price of €525,000, this is the cheapest of the six homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and 42% below the average asking price of €900,000, a keen entry point for apartments in Amsterdam.
The neighbourhood Nieuwmarkt is one of Amsterdam's oldest quarters, with narrow streets, canals and a lively square. It's densely populated, over 7,400 addresses per km², and home to many singles (755 one-person households) and older residents (485 aged 65+). There are no resident reviews available for this street, but the area is known for its mix of historic charm and urban convenience.
Your morning bread run is to Albert Heijn, just around the corner, or the Ekoplaza a couple of streets away. For school runs, St. Antoniusschool is on your doorstep, and De Witte Olifant is a five-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers everything from museums to parks, though the nearest park is a ten-minute walk away.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Jansen Smit Makelaars en Taxateurs and also appears on Huispedia, so it's available through several channels.

About Recht Boomssloot 42B, Amsterdam
At €525,000, this apartment is the cheapest of the six homes currently for sale in Nieuwmarkt and 42% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €900,000. However, the floor area of 56 m² is 37% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 89 m², so the price per square metre is in line with what you'd expect for a compact apartment in this central location.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home built in 1994. In the neighbourhood, 37.5% of homes have label A, 25% have label C, and 37.5% have label D or lower. A C label means reasonable energy efficiency, but you can expect moderate heating costs.
The nearest train station is 1.1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That's convenient for trips out of the city, though for daily travel you'll likely use the metro or tram stops closer by.
Nieuwmarkt is very urban with a high density of shops, restaurants and services. A supermarket (Albert Heijn) is 228 metres away, and there are several primary schools within walking distance.

At 56 m², this apartment is 37% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 89 m². Most homes for sale in Nieuwmarkt are larger, so this is a compact option that suits someone looking for a smaller space in a prime central location.
