Two-bedroom apartment on the quiet end of the Ferdinand Bolstraat, above the shops but far enough along that the market noise stays where it belongs. The living room faces the street and takes the morning sun; both bedrooms look out over the courtyard behind, which is where you notice how quiet the building is for its address. The kitchen was replaced around ten years ago and works well enough that a buyer could leave it alone. Original 1931 windows at the front, double-glazed at the back. Energy label C, which for a building of this age tells you the roof and the back wall have been done and the front has not.

A family house on the Albert Cuypstraat with a deep garden — 154 m² of plot, most of it behind the kitchen, which is more outdoor space than almost anything else at this address. Three floors, three bedrooms, one bathroom on the middle floor. The through living room has been opened up at some point in the seventies and could be put back if you wanted the two rooms. The roof was insulated in the last renovation; the front windows were not, and you hear the market on Saturdays. Some buyers like that.

New-build penthouse on the top floor, completed this year, with a wraparound terrace and a lift that opens into the apartment's own hallway. Floor-to-ceiling glazing along the living side, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, underfloor heating throughout. Energy label A, heat pump, no gas connection — the running costs are a fraction of the pre-war stock two streets over. Parking space in the garage below is included in the price. Still under developer's warranty.

• 39 m²
• 1 bed
• 1 room
• A energy

Compact at 39 m², but arranged so the sleeping alcove sits away from the window rather than under it — a small thing that makes the difference between a studio and a bedsit. Fitted kitchen along one wall, shower room off the hall, and enough storage built in that you would not need to add any. Built in 2022 to current insulation standards; label A and very cheap to run. No VvE surprises — the association is new, small and fully funded. A first flat, or a pied-à-terre.

Bright double-upper apartment in the heart of the canal belt, with original nineteenth-century details, high ceilings and a south-facing living room overlooking the water. The building was fully renovated in 2019 while retaining the ornamental plasterwork, panelled doors and the original staircase. The living floor is arranged as one open space front to back, with tall windows on the canal side and a separate study overlooking the courtyard garden. The kitchen was replaced in 2021 with integrated appliances and a stone worktop. Two bedrooms sit on the upper floor, both with fitted wardrobes, alongside a bathroom with walk-in shower and underfloor heating. Parking is available via the municipal permit scheme, and the Westerkerk, Noordermarkt and the Jordaan cafés are all within a few minutes on foot.

• D energy

A 1917 townhouse of 229 m², five bedrooms, with the garden behind and most of the original detail still in place. The stairwell, the panelled doors and the tiled hallway are all as built. Reception rooms on the first floor with their mouldings; a kitchen at garden level that was replaced about fifteen years ago and is beginning to show it. Two bathrooms. This needs work — the label is D, the front windows are single-glazed and the electrics are older than they should be. There is damp at the base of the rear wall which the sellers have had looked at; the report is in the file and puts it down to a failed gutter rather than anything structural. Priced with all of that in mind. What you get for it is a building of a kind that is not made any more, on a street that has spent thirty years being written off and is finally getting its due.

• 100 m²
• 3 beds
• 4 rooms

Its own street door — no shared hallway, no stairwell to negotiate — with the living space on the lower floor and three bedrooms above. Balcony off the back bedroom, facing the afternoon sun. Built in 1992, so it is dry, square and straightforward, without the maintenance that comes with the older buildings nearer the water. There is no energy label registered for this one yet; the sellers are arranging it and it will follow before completion.

Historic terraced home with a private wharf cellar, steps from the Dom tower and the city's best restaurants.

Penthouse on the Kop van Zuid with the river on one side and the city on the other. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, 137 m², and a roof terrace that gets sun from noon until it goes down behind the Erasmusbrug. Built in 2021: label A, heat pump, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, and service charges that reflect a building with a lift and a concierge. Parking included. The view is the point. Come at dusk.
