The Spuistraat-Zuid neighbourhood

Frequently asked questions
About Singel 309AH, Amsterdam
Is €3,000 per month a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €3,000 is exactly the median for rental homes in the Spuistraat-Zuid neighbourhood, where the average is €3,099. With a floor area of 76 m², the price per square metre comes to about €39.47, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €37.01 per m². So the rent is in line with what is being asked in this area, though the smaller size means a higher rate per square metre.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient label on the scale. This means the home is registered as having a very low energy demand, so heating and electricity costs are expected to be on the lower side. The label is an official registration from EP-Online and reflects the property's energy performance as recorded.

At 76 m², this apartment is 38% smaller than the average rental in the Spuistraat-Zuid neighbourhood, which comes to 122 m². The median rent in the area is €3,000, so you are paying the same as the median but for less space. This is reflected in the higher price per square metre compared to the neighbourhood average.
