Very nice neighbourhood. Residents are very friendly, communicative and good at cooperating. We did many activities in the summer, in the community centre and with outings. It's just that my home is small for us. Otherwise I would never want to move. I would like to continue living in this home. (Willem Passtoorstraat 36C, 1073 HZ. Amsterdam.)

About Saffierstraat 186, Amsterdam
At €325,000, this studio is the cheapest home currently for sale in the Diamantbuurt. The neighbourhood average asking price is €575,615, so this is 44% below that. However, the floor area of 41 m² is also 29% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 58 m². Given the compact size and the energy label E, the price reflects the trade-off between affordability and space.
The energy label is E. This is a relatively low rating, meaning the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the Diamantbuurt, 38.5% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it's worth factoring into your monthly budget.
The nearest train station is 1.4 km away, which is about a 15-20 minute walk. This gives you access to the wider Amsterdam region and beyond, though for daily travel within the city, trams and metros are likely more convenient.
