About Keizersgracht 355, Amsterdam
The asking price is above the neighbourhood median of €1,250,000, but this home is larger than average (209 m² vs 168 m²). The price per m² works out to about €8,588, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €13,167 per m². So you're paying a premium for the size and location, but the per-square-metre cost is actually quite reasonable.
The energy label is D, which is typical for a house built in 1705. In the neighbourhood, 40.6% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home, but the thick canal-house walls help retain heat.
Very convenient. Jumbo is 122 metres away, Albert Heijn is 238 metres, and there's an Ekoplaza organic supermarket at 408 metres. For a quick bite, a restaurant is just 0.1 km away. The area is extremely walkable.
The nearest primary school is 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan at 298 metres. For secondary education, the Barlaeus Gymnasium is 767 metres away, and Huygens College is 923 metres. There's also a special education school, Jordaan College, at 310 metres.
The nearest train station is 2.0 km away. That's about a 25-minute walk or a short tram ride. The area is well served by trams and buses.
The total number of recorded crimes in the neighbourhood is 466. Given the high population density and central location, this is not unusually high. The area is generally considered safe, especially along the canals.
