Frequently asked questions
About Rooseveltlaan 219-3, Amsterdam
Is €3,500 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €3,500 is above the neighbourhood average of €3,114 and the median of €2,895. With 110 m², the price per square metre works out to about €31.82, which is below the neighbourhood average of €38.46 per m². So while the total is on the high side, you are getting more space than the typical rental in the area.
How does the floor area compare to other rentals in the neighbourhood?
At 110 m², this apartment is 31% larger than the neighbourhood average of 84 m². That is a notable difference, especially in a city where space is at a premium. The extra square metres are reflected in the rent, but the price per m² is actually lower than the average, which makes the larger size a key part of the value.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
