Frequently asked questions
About Sarphatistraat 45C, Amsterdam
Is €2,270,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price is 81% above the neighbourhood average of €1,250,833, which is a significant premium. However, this apartment is also 29% larger than the average (150 m² vs 116 m²) and has an A energy label, which is rare in a neighbourhood where only 23.5% of homes have label A. The price per m² works out at about €15,133, which is below the neighbourhood average of €18,369 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting more space and better efficiency than typical homes in the area.
How does the size compare to other homes in Sarphatistrook?
At 150 m², this apartment is 29% larger than the neighbourhood average of 116 m². In a market where the average sold home in the past period was 116 m², this is a notably spacious property. The largest home currently for sale in the neighbourhood is €5,995,000, so this sits in the upper range but not at the very top.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. In Sarphatistrook, only 23.5% of homes have label A, and a further 11.8% have A+. This means lower heating costs and a more comfortable home compared to the 47.1% of homes with label C or the 5.9% with D or lower. The building dates from 1803, so a label A is a strong indicator that significant modernisation has been done.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. This gives you direct connections to the rest of the country, while the city's tram and metro network is even closer for local travel.
What is the neighbourhood like in terms of safety?
The total number of recorded crimes in the neighbourhood is 337, which for a dense urban area with 1,955 residents is moderate. As with any central Amsterdam location, it is busy and lively, but the area is generally considered safe. The high address density (8,322 per km²) means there are always people around.
How long do homes typically stay on the market here?
In the past period, sold homes in Sarphatistrook took an average of 39 days to sell. That is a fairly brisk pace, indicating demand is healthy. With only 18 homes currently for sale, supply is limited, so well-priced properties tend to move quickly.
What schools are near this apartment?
There are several primary schools within walking distance: ASVO (346 m), OBS Aldoende (394 m) and Dr. E. Boekmanschool (435 m). For secondary education, Kiem Montessori is 719 m away. All are within a ten-minute walk, making the school run easy.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. Given that the property is an apartment on Sarphatistraat, it is unlikely to have private outdoor space, but you are close to parks: the nearest park or public garden is 0.5 km away, a five-minute walk.

Experiences from Amsterdam
How residents experience their municipality
Een hele fijne, rustige buurt met veel groen en geweldige bomen die verkoeling en ontspanning bieden. 's nachts is het er stil en donker. Dat vind ik belangrijk voor de dieren. De buurt is goed bereikbaar met metro 54 en voorzieningen zijn op loopafstand in winkelcentrum de Poort. 1 ding is een ongelofelijke doorn in het oog en dat is de hygiene. Het is dagelijks een puinzoo bij de vuilcontainers. Zwerfafval waait overal naar toe. En hoewel we met een aantal bewoners dagelijks 'prikken' en opruimen is het een never ending story. Ik zou zo graag zien dat daar een oplossing voor komt.

Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, peaceful, relaxed, green, social and a nice mix of people
Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about 12 years. The neighbourhood has clear advantages: good connections by tram, bus and ferry/boat, plenty of supermarkets, gyms and practical amenities nearby. For me, however, there was one major drawback: structural low-frequency noise, demonstrably coming from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. If you are sensitive to that, it can be very burdensome. In my case, it was clearly noticeable indoors, especially at night. Neighbours said they slept with earplugs and extra insulation offered limited to no solution. The municipality took measurements at the time and acknowledged that the noise was significant, but indicated they could do little or nothing about it because the source fell outside their direct authority. My honest advice: visit this neighbourhood not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night, and pay specific attention to low-frequency humming or vibrations. For people sensitive to noise, I would personally strongly advise against this location.

Auto-translated to English by AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the end of the Silodam lies the striking MVRDV building. Surrounded by water on all sides. Every apartment has a view of the IJ and/or the Oude Houthaven. The views are therefore phenomenal and every day is different due to the weather. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable. Because the building is at the end of the Silodam, there is no through traffic and every person is either a resident or a visitor. This makes it, by Amsterdam standards, an exceptionally safe living environment. There is little turnover. The residents of this building form a close-knit community. A nice mix of families with and without children and single people who help each other where needed. And that too is a special quality in an increasingly transient Amsterdam. Within walking distance are the Haarlemmerdijk and the markets where you can find all the hustle and bustle if you feel like it. On the Silodam there is peace and quiet, a delight for body and mind. The wind, the seagulls, the waves on the IJ, the boats, occasionally a cruise ship, and every 5 years Sail! A little paradise in Amsterdam? Absolutely!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
