Langestraat en omgeving, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Singel sits in one of Amsterdam's most iconic stretches. The 1638 building is a piece of the Golden Age, and at 52 m² it's compact but full of character. With an asking price of €485,000, that's 67% below the neighbourhood average of €1,483,960, partly because this home is much smaller than the norm (the average in the area is 134 m²). For context, the median price here is €1,500,000, so this is a relatively accessible entry point. You can compare it with other apartments in Amsterdam.
The neighbourhood Langestraat e.o. is part of the Grachtengordel-West, a UNESCO-listed area with narrow streets, historic buildings and a constant buzz. With 9,771 addresses per km², it's extremely urban. Most residents live alone (680 single-person households) and the average household size is just 1.6. There are 170 households with children, so it's not a family-dominated area. The streets are busy with tourists and locals alike, and the mix of shops, cafes and restaurants means there's always something happening.
For groceries, you have an AH to go just around the corner and a full Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. A SPAR is also within a five-minute walk. For school runs, de Burght primary school is on your doorstep, and Vinse School for secondary education is a couple of streets away. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and practical amenities you'd expect from the capital, from museums to public transport.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Bob! Makelaardij, Vastgoed Nederland and Funda.

About Singel 62-2A, Amsterdam
The asking price is €485,000, which is 67% below the neighbourhood average of €1,483,960. However, this apartment is also 61% smaller than the average home in the area (52 m² vs 134 m²). The median price in the buurt is €1,500,000, so this is a relatively low-priced option, but the size and energy label D should be factored in.
The energy label is D. This is common for a building from 1638, in fact, 42.1% of homes in the neighbourhood have a label D or lower. A D label means moderate energy efficiency, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home, but it's not unusual for a historic canal house.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away. That's about a 15-20 minute walk or a short tram ride. Amsterdam's central station is also within easy reach by public transport.
The area is very well-served. A GP is 0.3 km away, a large supermarket 0.5 km, and primary and secondary schools are within 0.5-0.6 km. There are also many restaurants (0.3 km) and a library (1.6 km). The park is 1.1 km away.
There are currently 25 homes for sale in the neighbourhood. The average time to sell is 40 days, which suggests a fairly active market. The supply is limited, so properties don't tend to stay on the market for long.
In the most recent data, there were 156 total crimes reported in the neighbourhood. Given the central location and high foot traffic, this is not unusually high for a city centre area.
