Willem Leevendstraat 8D
Bosleeuw, Amsterdam
AreaA classic Amsterdam upper floor flat
This 1927 upper floor apartment sits in Bosleeuw, a pocket of Amsterdam West that has clearly found its rhythm. The asking price of €450,000 is keen compared with the neighbourhood average asking price of €515,692, a difference of 13 percent. For context, the average asking price per square metre in the neighbourhood is €8,262, while this home is listed at €6,618 per square metre based on the agent's floor area. If you are weighing up options, it is worth noting that there are currently 26 homes for sale in the area, with prices ranging from €350,000 to €895,000. This is one of the apartments in Amsterdam that sits at the more accessible end of that spectrum.
Inside the home
The agent describes this as a two-room upper floor apartment with one bedroom, one bathroom and two floors, covering 68 square metres according to the listing. The BAG registration records 82 square metres of living area, so the two sources differ. The home has double glazing and a central heating boiler, and it is offered in full ownership. There is a homeowners' association fee of €93 per month. The property was built in 1927 and carries an energy label E, which is on the lower end of the scale, so heating costs are something to budget for.

WOZ and address data
No WOZ value is available for this property, so there is no municipal valuation to compare with the asking price. The address does carry some area-level risk indications from public data sources. Road traffic noise is measured at 57 dB Lden, which is above the noise standard, while railway and aircraft noise are both below their standards. The foundation risk indication is medium, based on the fact that the building dates from before 1970 and that 100 percent of properties in this postcode area were built before that year.
