Frequently asked questions
About John Napierstraat 36, Amsterdam
Is €2,500 a fair rent for this terraced house?
The rent of €2,500 is 27% below the neighbourhood average of €3,433, and the median rent in Steigereiland-Zuid is €2,900. With 83 m² of living space, the price per square metre works out at roughly €30, which is above the neighbourhood average of €25.02 per m². Given the smaller floor area compared with the average rental of 141 m², the overall monthly figure is on the keen side.
How does the floor area compare with other rentals in the area?
At 83 m², this home is 41% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 141 m² for rentals. That explains why the total rent is below the average even though the price per square metre is higher. If you are looking for more space, other listings in Steigereiland-Zuid may offer larger floor areas, but likely at a higher monthly rent.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient label on the scale. This means the home is officially registered as very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared with homes with lower labels. The label is an official registration from EP-Online and reflects the property's energy performance.
How quickly do rental homes in this neighbourhood go?
Rental properties in Steigereiland-Zuid are let on average within 11 days, according to recent market data. With 46 homes rented out recently and only 3 currently available, turnover is brisk. This particular home has been on the market through two channels, so if it appeals to you, the window to view it may be short.

There are footpaths for walking, and a supermarket, hairdresser, dentist and restaurant are all within walking distance, which makes daily life convenient.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 5.1 km away. That means a journey to the station takes a bit of planning, whether by bike, car or public transport.
