Very good · 2 residents
My husband and I have lived on the Amstel for 26 years; we came from the Noorderdwarsstraat near the Prinsengracht. We are very satisfied here. Living here is very cosy, very kind neighbours, helpful, now a bit less due to age. Extremely nice living, very dear people around us and we have good contact with them, and if my husband and I can help someone, I do that too, someone who lost his wife. Good contact with the neighbours, a small word can do people good. The building is and has been well maintained, is kept clean, etc., nothing but praise for the building and the handymen on the Prinsengracht... corner Prinsengracht, we have lived here for about 30 years now. And we are satisfied people and hope to be allowed to stay here for a long time. Fam Fakkeldij, Amstel 298 G

About Utrechtsedwarsstraat 32A, Amsterdam
At €525,000, this apartment is priced 61% below the neighbourhood average of €1,330,273. However, it is also smaller than average (60 m² vs 92 m²). The price per m² works out to €8,750, which is below the neighbourhood average of €14,912 per m². Given the E energy label and the need for potential upgrades, the price seems in line with the market for a compact starter home in a prime Amsterdam location.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, 22.2% of homes have label A, 11.1% label B, 33.3% label C, and 33.3% label D or lower. This home falls into the lower efficiency category, so budgeting for energy bills is advisable.
The Utrechtsebuurt-Zuid is a quiet, friendly neighbourhood with a strong sense of community. Residents describe it as cosy with kind neighbours who help each other. For daily errands, an Albert Heijn is just 170 m away, and a park is on your doorstep. There are several primary schools within walking distance. The area has a low crime rate and is well-suited for those who appreciate a peaceful yet central location.
The nearest train station is 2.7 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short tram ride. Given the central location, most amenities are within walking distance, and cycling is a popular way to get around Amsterdam.
At 60 m², this apartment is 35% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 92 m². It is a compact two-bedroom (likely one bedroom plus a small second room) typical of older Amsterdam apartments. The living space is efficient, and the layout is classic for a 1960s build. If you need more space, you may want to look at larger units, but they come at a higher price.
This is an apartment built in 1963. It is part of a building that has been well-maintained according to resident reviews. The construction year means it predates modern insulation standards, which aligns with the E energy label. The building likely has solid brick walls and original features common to that era.
