NeighbourhoodThis 100 m² apartment on Vaartstraat in the Schinkelbuurt-Zuid neighbourhood feels wonderfully spacious, 69% larger than the average apartment in the area. The 1913 building gives it period charm, and with energy label C it's reasonably efficient.

For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.

About Vaartstraat 68-1, Amsterdam
The asking price of €750,000 is above the neighbourhood median of €492,000, but this apartment is also 69% larger than the average (100 m² vs 59 m²). The average price per m² in the area is €10,672, which would put this home at roughly €1,067,200 if priced per m², so the asking price is actually below that benchmark.
