Frequently asked questions
About Venetiëhof 204, Amsterdam
Is €2,595 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is above the neighbourhood average of €2,417 and the median of €2,350. With 89 m², the price per square metre comes to about €29, which is higher than the average of €26.24 in the area. Given the size and the waterside location, the rent is on the high side compared with other rentals on KNSM-eiland.
How does the energy label C affect running costs?
Energy label C is a mid-range label, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The label is an official registration and reflects the home's energy performance, but it does not say anything about the condition of the building. For a home of this size and age, label C is fairly typical.
What is the neighbourhood like for daily life?
KNSM-eiland is a quiet, residential area with a mix of older and newer buildings. The nearest Albert Heijn is about 650 metres away, and a Jumbo is roughly 800 metres, so daily shopping is easy. The area has a settled feel, with many owner-occupied homes and a population that includes a significant share of older residents.
How far is the nearest school?
Basisschool De Achthoek, a primary school, is about 520 metres away, which is a short walk. For secondary education, Montessori Lyceum Pax is around 760 metres. There are also several other primary schools within a kilometre, including Montessorischool Op de Kade and Dalton Kind Centrum de Kleine Kapitein.
How quickly do rentals in this area go?
Homes in this neighbourhood are rented out on average within 21 days, according to recent data. That gives an idea of the pace of the local rental market. With only a handful of rentals currently available, the supply is limited, so the market here moves at a steady clip.
Is the apartment close to public transport?
The nearest train station is about 3.1 kilometres away, so it is not on the doorstep. The distance to the station is manageable but not central.
