Walvisbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 26 m² studio on Potvisstraat sits in the Walvisbuurt, a quiet residential corner of Amsterdam-Noord.

About Potvisstraat 1C, Amsterdam
At 26 m², that works out to roughly €7,885 per m², which is typical for a small studio in Amsterdam-Noord. The price is in line with the market, not a bargain, but not overpriced either. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it's hard to say more, but for a studio with energy label C in a quiet area, it's a reasonable asking price.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home built in 1991. You can expect moderate energy costs, not as low as a modern A-label, but far cheaper than an old G-label. The exact monthly bill depends on your usage, but label C is generally considered efficient enough for a small studio.
The closest supermarket is a Lidl at 407 metres, just around the corner. A Jumbo is 540 metres away, a five-minute walk. For more choice, there's a Dekamarkt at 814 metres and an Albert Heijn at 888 metres. Daily shopping is easy on foot.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: De Bonkelaar (453 m), Montessori Kindcentrum Oostzanerwerf (625 m), and Daltonschool De Poolster (999 m). For secondary education, Kolom praktijkcollege Noord is 394 m away. The area is well served for families with school-age children.
The nearest train station is 6.5 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bus or bicycle to reach it. The area is better connected by bus routes and cycling paths for getting around Amsterdam-Noord and the city centre.
