A classic Amsterdam apartment with a keen price
This third-floor apartment on the Vespuccistraat sits in the Jan Maijenbuurt, a lively pocket of Amsterdam's Van Galenbuurt district.

With an asking price of €495,000, the price is keen compared with the average asking price in the neighbourhood, which comes in at €589,313. That puts it 16% below the neighbourhood average, a notable difference for a home of this type. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price depending on location and condition.

The energy label is C, which means the home sits in the middle of the efficiency range, so heating costs will be moderate rather than minimal.
