Weesperbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 43 m² studio on Lepelstraat 2-3 sits in the lively Weesperbuurt, a stone's throw from the Amstel and the city centre.

At €525,000, the price is 53% below the neighbourhood average of €1,118,586, a keen entry point for a studio in this part of Amsterdam, especially compared to other studios in Amsterdam.

There are no resident reviews available for this street, but the area is known for its mix of historic buildings and modern cafes. The neighbourhood Weesperbuurt has a high proportion of pre-war housing (76.7%), which gives it a classic Amsterdam feel.

About Lepelstraat 2-3, Amsterdam
The asking price of €525,000 is 53% below the neighbourhood average of €1,118,586, but the studio is also 52% smaller than the average home (90 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €12,209, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €11,390 per m². So while the total price is low for the area, you're paying a premium for the compact size.
Energy label F is one of the least efficient ratings. In the Weesperbuurt, most homes for sale have better labels: only 17.9% are rated D or lower. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a more modern property. The home was built in 1935, so it likely has single glazing and poor insulation, which contributes to the low rating.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. Amsterdam's central station is also within easy reach by tram or bike.
The Weesperbuurt has a high proportion of single-person households (1,400 out of 1,875 households) and a large 25-45 age group (1,160 residents). It's a very urban area with plenty of restaurants, cafes, and cultural spots nearby. The address density is very high, so it's lively and busy.
The nearest park or public garden is 0.6 km away, about a seven-minute walk. The Amstel river is also close by, offering a pleasant waterside stroll.
There are 29 homes for sale in the Weesperbuurt, but the exact number of studios is not specified. The average home size is 90 m², so studios like this one are relatively rare in the neighbourhood.
