About Sloterkade 55, Amsterdam
The asking price is 109% above the neighbourhood average of €928,412, making it the most expensive of the 17 homes currently for sale in the Surinamepleinbuurt. However, the floor area of 194 m² is also 113% larger than the average of 91 m². So the price per square metre works out at around €10,000, which is in line with the neighbourhood average of €10,688 per m². Whether it is fair depends on how you value the extra space and the canal-side location.
Terraced houses in Amsterdam vary enormously, from compact 19th-century workers' cottages to grand canal houses. This one, built in 1910, is on the larger side at 194 m². The price of €1,940,000 puts it in the upper range, but not exceptionally so for a family-sized house in a desirable neighbourhood near the Vondelpark. For a full overview, see the page on [terraced houses in Amsterdam](/koopwoningen/amsterdam/tussenwoningen/).
The home has an energy label C. That means it is reasonably efficient but not top-of-the-line. In the neighbourhood, 39% of homes have label A, 11% label B, and 33% label C, so this is typical for the area. With a 1910 build, you can expect solid construction but possibly higher heating costs than a modern home. No specific energy costs are stated in the listing.
The nearest train station is 1.4 km away, which is about a fifteen-minute walk. That makes it feasible for commuting, though not on your doorstep.
The Surinamepleinbuurt has a mix of residents: 44% are aged 25-45, and 22% of households have children. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, and a secondary school within ten minutes. The park is close by, and the Vondelpark is a short stroll away. It is a dense urban area, so gardens are rare, but this home has a 109 m² plot.
With 194 m² over four floors, there is plenty of space, but the exact layout is not provided. You would need to view the property to see the room configuration.
The plot size is 109 m², which typically includes some outdoor space, but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden. Given the size, it is likely there is a courtyard or small garden, but this is not confirmed in the data.
In the Surinamepleinbuurt, sold homes took an average of 36 days to sell. That is a fairly typical timeframe for Amsterdam. The current listing has not been on the market long enough to draw conclusions.
