AreaA compact studio in the heart of the Jordaan

The asking price of €395,000 is in line with the market, according to the comparison with the neighbourhood average.

What the listing tells us
The listing is brief. It gives the property type, the year of construction and the energy label, but does not state the number of rooms, bedrooms or bathrooms, nor any details about the garden, balcony or insulation. The living area according to the BAG registration is 24 m², and the price per square metre works out at €16,458 on that basis. Beyond that, the agent has not provided further specifications, so the layout and condition of the interior remain for a viewing to reveal.

Frequently asked questions
About Hazenstraat 56A, Amsterdam
What does the asking price of €395,000 mean for this studio?
The asking price is €395,000 for a studio with a living area of 24 m² according to the BAG registration. The price verdict describes it as in line with the market when compared with the neighbourhood average asking price of €1,027,077. That average is based on 39 homes currently for sale in the Elandsgrachtbuurt, which include much larger properties, so the comparison reflects the mix of housing on offer rather than a direct like-for-like.
What property details are missing from the listing?
The listing does not state the number of rooms, bedrooms or bathrooms, nor any information about a garden, balcony, insulation or heating installation. The only specifications given are the property type, the year of construction (1984), the energy label B and the living area of 24 m² from the BAG registration.
Why are there no property details in this listing?
The listing is incomplete. It gives the essentials: a studio built in 1984 with energy label B and a living area of 24 m², offered at €395,000. But it does not describe the interior layout, the number of rooms or any outdoor space. This is not unusual for a compact studio, where the agent may keep the description brief, but it does mean the full picture only emerges at a viewing.
What is the energy label and what does it mean for costs?
The home has energy label B. This is an efficient label, so the energy costs for heating and electricity should be relatively modest compared with less efficient homes. The label is a standardised rating based on the property's characteristics, and it gives an indication of how much energy the home is likely to use. It does not say anything about the condition of the building itself, only about its energy performance.
What do residents say about living in the Elandsgrachtbuurt?
Residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 8.79, based on three reviews. One resident describes it as a cosy neighbourhood with familiar faces and a large share of history. Another says it is a real piece of Amsterdam with old canals, little shops and pubs, and good tram connections to the city centre. A third mentions many shops and eateries, little trouble with crime and good public transport, though they note their street is visited by loitering youths.
How noisy is the area around Hazenstraat 56A?
The address-level risk data indicates road traffic noise at 61 dB Lden, which is above the noise standard. Railway noise is measured at 35 dB Lden and aircraft noise at 47 dB Lden, both below their respective standards. These are area-level indications from public data sources, not measurements taken at the property itself. The actual noise experienced inside the home will depend on the building's construction and the position of the rooms.
What are the flood and climate risks for this address?
The climate risk data gives area-level indications. Pluvial flooding at heavy rain is elevated, meaning there is a higher chance of surface water pooling during intense downpours. Current flood risk is low, and it remains low for 2050. Heat stress is medium at present, rising to elevated by 2050, which suggests the area may become warmer in summer. These are indications for the area, not an assessment of this specific property.
Which supermarkets and schools are closest to this studio?
Albert Heijn is on your doorstep at 122 metres, with Ekoplaza at 138 metres and Jumbo at 326 metres. For schools, the 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan is just 54 metres away, and OBS Leonardo da Vinci is 311 metres. The nearest GP is Huisartsenpraktijk A'dam Doctors at 635 metres, and Kinker Apotheek is 417 metres away. These distances make the daily errands very walkable from the home.
How is the public transport from the Elandsgrachtbuurt?
The Elandsgracht stop is just around the corner at about 220 metres, served by trams 5, 7, 13 and 19, and buses 80, 357 and 397. Amsterdam Centraal station is 1.7 kilometres away, roughly a ten-minute walk. The tram lines connect to the city centre and other parts of Amsterdam, while the bus lines include regional services. The combination of tram and bus options makes the home well placed for getting around without a car.
What is the foundation risk for this property?
The foundation risk indication for this address is low. The data notes that 92% of properties in this postcode area were built before 1970, which is a factor in foundation assessments. However, this is an area-level indication from public data, not an inspection of this specific home. The property itself was built in 1984, which is later than most of the surrounding stock, but the foundation condition can only be confirmed by a structural survey.
