About Stuurmankade 170, Amsterdam
The rent is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €2,115, but the apartment is 26% larger than the typical rental in Borneo (120 m² vs 95 m²). Given the size and the energy label A, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a spacious, efficient home in this area.
The energy label is A, which means the home is very energy-efficient. You can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared to older properties. The building was constructed in 1998, so it likely has good insulation and modern installations.
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away. That's about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride.
There are several schools within walking distance. Basisschool De Achthoek is just 131 metres away, Montessorischool Op de Kade is 334 metres, and Montessori Lyceum Pax (secondary) is 406 metres. All are within a five-minute walk.
Currently, there are 10 apartments for rent in Borneo, with prices ranging from €1,525 to €2,700. The average rent per square metre is €21.92, so this apartment at €18.21 per m² is below that average, making it good value for its size.
The total number of reported crimes in the neighbourhood is 60. Without a per-capita comparison, it's hard to judge, but Borneo is generally considered a safe, well-maintained area. The high density and mix of residents contribute to a lively street scene.
