Singel 265A

The asking price is €3,500,000, which is 194% above the average asking price in Spuistraat-Zuid (€1,190,800). However, this is a 132 m² apartment on the Singel, a prime canal, while the neighbourhood average includes smaller units. The median asking price in the area is €675,000, so this is clearly a premium property. Whether it's fair depends on how much the location and history are worth to you.

The energy label is E. That means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, about 33% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a 17th-century building. You may want to consider energy-saving measures, but the listing does not specify any improvements.

The nearest train station is 1.8 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short tram ride. Given the central location, most of the city is easily reachable on foot or by bike.

In the most recent data, there were 543 total crimes reported in Spuistraat-Zuid. That's a high number, but it reflects the very dense city-centre environment with many tourists and nightlife. The area is generally safe, but as with any busy urban centre, it pays to be aware of your surroundings.

The building dates from 1625, making it nearly 400 years old. The listing does not provide details on the condition, but an energy label E suggests the original structure may have limited insulation. You would need to view the property to assess its state, as no renovation history is given.

The listing does not mention any garden, balcony, or terrace. Given the apartment is on the Singel, it likely has canal views but no private outdoor space. The nearest park is 1.3 km away, about a 15-minute walk.
