Langestraat en omgeving, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Blauwburgwal sits in a 1649 building, right in the heart of the Grachtengordel. At €225,000 it is by far the cheapest of the 25 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood, 85% below the average asking price of €1.48 million. That makes sense given the size: 51 m² is small for the area, and the energy label G means high heating costs. For context, the apartments in Amsterdam market varies hugely, but this one is clearly at the entry-level end.
The neighbourhood Langestraat e.o. is a dense, historic part of the city centre with 1,920 residents. Most households are single-person (680 out of 1,200 homes), and the average household size is just 1.6. It is a very urban area, 9,771 addresses per km², so expect lively streets and plenty of noise. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, but the figures show a mix of ages, with a notable share of over-65s (390).
For daily groceries, you have an AH to go just around the corner, a full Albert Heijn a couple of streets away, and a Dirk within a five-minute walk. The nearest primary school, de Burght, is on your doorstep, and the Vinse School for secondary education is a five-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and practical amenities you would expect from the capital, from restaurants to libraries, though the nearest park is a ten-minute walk away.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Heeren Makelaars and also appears on Funda. The price and details are as published by the agent.

About Blauwburgwal 4H, Amsterdam
It is the cheapest home currently for sale in Langestraat e.o., 85% below the neighbourhood average of €1.48 million. But the apartment is also 62% smaller than the average (51 m² vs 134 m²) and has an energy label G, so the low price reflects the size and expected energy costs. Compared to other small, old apartments in the centre, it is priced keenly.
Label G is the least efficient rating, so heating and electricity costs will be high. The building dates from 1649, and 97% of homes in the neighbourhood were built before 1945, so insulation is likely minimal. You should budget for significant energy expenses, especially in winter.
Very central and convenient. Supermarkets like Albert Heijn and Dirk are within a five-minute walk, and there are plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. The area is extremely dense and busy, with a high number of single-person households. It is not a quiet family neighbourhood, but ideal if you want to be in the thick of the city.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, about a 15-20 minute walk. The city centre is very walkable.
Sold homes in the neighbourhood took an average of 40 days to sell, which is fairly quick. The current supply is 25 homes, so there is some choice, but this apartment is the cheapest by a large margin.
The building is from 1649, so it is historic. The energy label G suggests the property has not been modernised in terms of insulation or heating. You would need to check the maintenance state of the shared parts and the apartment itself, as no recent renovations are mentioned in the listing.
