Willem Schoutenstraat 41A
Orteliusbuurt-Zuid, Amsterdam
AreaA modern apartment in Orteliusbuurt-Zuid
This apartment on Willem Schoutenstraat 41A sits in Orteliusbuurt-Zuid, a pocket of Amsterdam West that feels calm and residential despite the city's buzz. Built in 1998, it is a relative newcomer in a district where most homes predate the war. The last known asking price of €495,000 sat 23% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €644,250, which put it on the low side for the area. For context, that average was based on the eight homes at the time for sale, and the price per square metre here worked out to €7,734 based on the BAG registered floor area. If you are weighing up options, it is worth comparing with other [apartments in Amsterdam]. This home has not been online since 15 October 2026.
The home itself
The listing did not include details on the layout, number of rooms, or any outdoor space, so the specifics of the interior were not stated. What was known was that the apartment dates from 1998 and carried an energy label B, which was an efficient label and suggested reasonable energy costs. The BAG registration put the living area at 64 square metres, and that was the figure used for the price per square metre. Without further information from the agent, there was little more to say about the property itself.
