About Revaleiland 5, Amsterdam
Yes, it's a good deal. The average rent in Houthavens-West is €3,152, so this apartment is 21% cheaper. However, it's also smaller than average (64 m² vs 105 m²), so the price per square metre (€39) is actually slightly above the neighbourhood average of €30.06. Given the modern build and A energy label, it's priced.
Houthavens-West is ideal for young professionals. It's a very urban area with a high density of restaurants and cafés within walking distance.
