KNSM-eiland, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Levantkade sits on KNSM-eiland, a former island in Amsterdam's Eastern Docklands. At 40 m² it is compact, but the location is extraordinary: right on the water with a lively quayside. The home dates from 1916 and has energy label G, so heating costs will be significant. The asking price of €949,000 is 29% above the neighbourhood average of €736,050, which is on the high side even for this sought-after area. For context, studios in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.

About Levantkade 178, Amsterdam
The asking price is 29% above the neighbourhood average of €736,050 for all homes, but the average floor area in the neighbourhood is 90 m², so this studio is 56% smaller. The price per m² works out at €23,725, which is high compared to the neighbourhood average of €9,036 per m². Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the location and the water view.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. Heating costs will be high, especially given the 1916 construction. In the neighbourhood, 52.4% of homes have label A and only 4.8% have label D or lower, so this home stands out as particularly inefficient.
The nearest train station is 3.2 km away, which is about a 40-minute walk or a short cycle.
The neighbourhood recorded 76 total crimes in the latest data, which for a population of 2,340 gives a crime rate of about 32 per 1,000 residents. This is moderate for a very urban area. The neighbourhood has a mix of residents and is generally considered safe.
The nearest park or public garden is 1.1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The area is more about urban living with water views than extensive greenery.
