Langestraat en omgeving, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis studio on the Prinsengracht in Amsterdam is a rare find: a compact home on one of the city's most famous canals. At 32 m² it's small, but the location is hard to beat. The building dates from 1760 and has an E energy label, so heating costs will be something to factor in. The asking price of €350,000 is 76% below the neighbourhood average of €1.48 million, but that's mainly because the average home here is a spacious 134 m². For a studio, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a canal property. See more studios in Amsterdam.

About Prinsengracht 79E, Amsterdam
The asking price of €350,000 is 76% below the neighbourhood average of €1.48 million, but that average is based on much larger homes (134 m² on average). For a 32 m² studio on the Prinsengracht, the price per m² works out to about €10,938, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €11,504 per m². So it's priced competitively for its size and location.
The energy label is E. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, 42% of homes have a label D or lower, so an E label is not unusual for a building from 1760.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a 15-20 minute walk or a short tram ride. This gives you access to the national rail network.
