About Weteringschans 68H, Amsterdam
Was €925,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €925,000 was slightly above the neighbourhood average of €915,000 and the median of €857,500. However, prices in Den Texbuurt range from €550,000 to €1,595,000, so it sat in the middle. The price per m² (€12,500) was above the neighbourhood average of €10,630, reflecting the premium for a Weteringschans location.
What is the energy label D like?
Energy label D is average for an older building. It meant the home was not as efficient as modern builds, so heating costs would be higher than with an A or B label. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have label A, 18.8% label B, and 37.5% have label D or lower.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 3 km away, which is about a 10-minute cycle or a short tram ride. The neighbourhood is well served by trams and buses, but for intercity trains you'll need to head to Amsterdam Centraal or Amsterdam Zuid.
