About Roetersstraat 2E, Amsterdam
The asking price of €550,000 is 51% below the neighbourhood average of €1,118,586, but the apartment is also 41% smaller than the average (53 m² vs 90 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €10,377, which is below the neighbourhood average of €11,390. Given the compact size and energy label D, the price is in line with the market.
The energy label is D. This means the home is moderately efficient; heating costs will be higher than in a home with label A or B. In the Weesperbuurt, most homes for sale have a better label (over 80% are label C or higher), so this is something to factor into your budget.
The Weesperbuurt is very central, with supermarkets, schools and restaurants all within a short walk. The Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and there are several primary schools nearby. The area is densely built and lively, with a high number of single-person households. Crime rates are above average, but the location is hard to beat for city living.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The central location means most amenities are within walking distance.
The building dates from 1782, so it is a historic property. The energy label D suggests that some modernisation may have been done, but older buildings often have higher heating costs.
