Burgwallen-Oost, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 18th-century apartment on Bethaniëndwarsstraat sits in the oldest part of the city, where every street tells a story. With 58 m² of living space, it's compact but full of character, a typical Amsterdam pied-à-terre. The price of €800,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood median of €737,500, partly because the home is 34% smaller than the average 88 m² in the area. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.
