About Alexander Boersstraat 19, Amsterdam
The asking price of €7,500,000 is 171% above the neighbourhood average of €2,770,679 and is the highest of the 28 homes currently for sale in the Concertgebouwbuurt.

The average price for an end-of-terrace house in the municipality is not stated, but in the Concertgebouwbuurt the average asking price is €2,770,679. This home is significantly more expensive, but also much larger than the typical property in the area.
