About Recht Boomssloot 47C, Amsterdam
At €10,127 per m², this apartment is priced above the neighbourhood average of €8,598 per m². However, the average in Lastage includes a mix of property types and sizes, and this is a 17th-century canal apartment with character. The median price in the area is €719,000, so this home sits above that. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the historic setting and the quiet street.
