About Agatha Dekenstraat 61H, Amsterdam
The asking price of €750,000 is 18% above the neighbourhood average of €637,800 and is the highest among the ten apartments currently for sale in Bellamybuurt-Noord. However, the apartment is also 41% larger than the average (104 m² vs 74 m²), so the price per square metre is roughly in line with the market. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the specific location.
The apartment has an energy label B, which is good for a pre-war building. In the neighbourhood, 27% of homes have label A and another 27% have label B, so this home is above average in efficiency. You can expect reasonable energy costs, though not as low as a modern, highly insulated home.
The nearest train station is 3.2 km away. That is about a 40-minute walk or a 10-minute bike ride. For daily commuting, trams and buses in the neighbourhood provide good connections to the city centre and Amsterdam Central Station.
Bellamybuurt-Noord is not particularly family-oriented: only 17% of households have children, and the average household size is 1.6 people. The area is popular with young professionals and couples. There are several primary schools within walking distance, but secondary schools are a bit further (1.1 km).
The neighbourhood recorded 165 total crimes in the latest data. That is a moderate number for a dense urban area. Residents in reviews describe it as 'cosy' and 'very nice', suggesting a generally positive experience.
Parking in Bellamybuurt-Noord is typical for central Amsterdam: limited street parking with paid permits. The address density is very high (12,458 addresses per km²), so a car is not essential. Most residents rely on bikes and public transport. If you have a car, expect to apply for a resident parking permit and possibly use a nearby garage.
The nearest park or public garden is 0.9 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That is likely Bellamyplein, which one resident describes as 'very beautiful'. For larger parks, Vondelpark is about 1.5 km away, and Westerpark is roughly the same distance.
The listing does not state the number of rooms. With 104 m², it is a spacious apartment, but the exact layout is not provided. You would need to check the floor plan or contact the agent for details.
