About Sarphatistraat 45C, Amsterdam
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
