About Albert Cuypstraat 13-1, Amsterdam
Yes, it's the cheapest home currently for sale in the Hercules Seghersbuurt, where the average asking price is €603,464. The price per m² works out at about €8,758, which is below the neighbourhood average of €10,131 per m². Given the small floor area and poor energy label, the price reflects the home's condition and size.
Label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high heating and electricity costs compared to a modern home. In this neighbourhood, most homes for sale have better labels, only 21.7% are rated D or lower. It's worth factoring in potential renovation costs for insulation or heating.
Very central and lively. The Albert Cuypmarkt is on your doorstep for fresh food, and there are several supermarkets within a five-minute walk. Restaurants and cafes are abundant, the nearest is just 100 metres away. The area is densely populated and busy, so it suits those who enjoy urban energy.
The nearest train station is 2.5 km away, so it's not a quick walk. However, trams and buses run frequently on the main roads. The city centre is easily reachable by bike or public transport.
At €289,000 it's one of the most affordable homes in the area, which could make it accessible for a first purchase. The small size and poor energy label mean it's a starter home rather than a long-term family property. The neighbourhood's central location and high demand may support resale value.
The listing describes it as a studio, so it's a single open-plan space with a separate bathroom and kitchen. The exact layout is not detailed in the data, but studios typically combine living, sleeping and cooking areas in one room.
