A classic Amsterdam apartment in Westerstaatsman
This apartment on Van Bossestraat 8-2 sits in the Westerstaatsman neighbourhood, part of the Staatsliedenbuurt district in Amsterdam. The listing did not state the year of construction or the energy label, so those details were missing from the agent's description. With a living area of 74 m² according to the BAG registration, the last known asking price of €500,000 worked out at €6,757 per m². That put this home on the high side compared with the average of €9,768 per m² for apartments in Amsterdam, though the price per m² here was based on the BAG floor area rather than the agent's own measurement. This home has not been online since 30 September 2026.
What the agent tells us
The agent's listing was sparse on property details, so there was little to say about the layout or features of this home. What was clear was that it was an apartment, and the address ends in -2, which typically indicated an upper-floor dwelling, though the listing did not confirm this. The living area of 74 m² came from the BAG registration, and the agent had not published additional information about rooms, outdoor space or installations.
