Given that similar apartments in the area sell for an average of €521,864, this price looks keen. However, the apartment is compact at 49 m², so the price per m² (€8,571) is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €9,397.

How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short tram ride. The neighbourhood is well served by trams and buses, so you can easily reach Amsterdam's main stations.
What shops and amenities are nearby?
A Dirk supermarket is just 111 metres away, so daily groceries are on your doorstep. Aldi and Albert Heijn are within a five-minute walk. There are also several primary schools within walking distance, a GP practice 400 metres away, and the Rembrandtpark is just around the corner for green space.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D, which is average for a pre-war apartment. It means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs may be moderate. In the neighbourhood, 45% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical for the area.
How many rooms does the apartment have?
The floor area is 49 m², which typically accommodates a one-bedroom layout, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent for the exact layout.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. Given that it's a first-floor apartment in a pre-war building, it's unlikely to have private outdoor space, but the Rembrandtpark is just around the corner.
How long do homes typically stay on the market here?
In the Orteliusbuurt-Midden neighbourhood, sold homes took an average of 34 days to sell. This suggests a fairly active market, but not exceptionally fast. The current listing is priced keenly, which may attract interest.
