A studio in the heart of Amsterdam
This studio on Borgerstraat 224-1 sits in the lively Lootsbuurt, a stone's throw from the Kinkerbuurt. At 42 m², it's a compact but well-proportioned home, built in 1911 and with energy label C. The last known asking price of €425,000 was exactly in line with the median for the neighbourhood, making it a fair proposition compared to other studios in Amsterdam. This home has not been online since 25 August 2026.

Frequently asked questions
About Borgerstraat 224-1, Amsterdam
Was €425,000 a fair price for this studio?
Yes, the asking price matched the median sale price in Lootsbuurt exactly. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood was €10,777, so for 42 m² that would come to about €452,000, slightly above the asking price. Given that studios in Amsterdam typically sell within 36 days, this listing was priced realistically.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The home has energy label C, which is average for a pre-war building. In Lootsbuurt, 45.5% of homes have label C, so this is typical. Label C meant reasonable insulation and moderate energy costs, not as efficient as a modern home, but far from the highest bills.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 2.7 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a short bike ride. That's a bit further than the Amsterdam average, but the neighbourhood is well served by trams and buses for connections to the city centre and beyond.
What is the neighbourhood like for young professionals?
Lootsbuurt is very popular among 25- to 45-year-olds, who make up nearly half the population. With a high density of shops, restaurants (0.1 km away) and a lively street scene, it was ideal for those who enjoy urban living. The area has a young, dynamic vibe.
Are there any parks or green spaces nearby?
Yes, the nearest park or public garden is 0.8 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That's typical for this part of Amsterdam, where green space is limited but the city's many canals and squares offer outdoor relaxation.
How many homes were at the time for sale in Lootsbuurt?
There were 13 homes for sale in the neighbourhood, with prices ranging from €340,000 to €950,000. The average price was €478,769, so this studio was at the lower end of the market. With 81 homes sold recently, turnover is healthy.
