Fokke Simonszstraat 27-3
Weteringbuurt, Amsterdam
AreaA compact studio in the heart of Amsterdam
This studio on Fokke Simonszstraat sits in the lively Weteringbuurt, right in the centre of Amsterdam. At 36 m² it's compact, but the location is hard to beat. The building dates from 1886 and has an energy label G, so heating costs will be high. The asking price of €495,000 is 58% below the neighbourhood average for all homes, but that's partly because this is a small studio, the average home in the area is 113 m². For comparison, studios in Amsterdam vary widely in price.

Frequently asked questions
About Fokke Simonszstraat 27-3, Amsterdam
Is €495,000 a fair price for this studio?
The asking price is 58% below the average asking price in the Weteringbuurt (€1,189,896), but that average includes much larger homes. The median asking price in the neighbourhood is €737,000. Given that this is a 36 m² studio with label G, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a small, central Amsterdam studio.
