People are not okay, they talk too much about you with lies, attack you without reason and believe what other people say about you without asking what your story is.

About Albert Luthulistraat 15D, Amsterdam
The asking price of €650,000 is 25% above the neighbourhood average of €519,586. However, this apartment is 81 m², which is 42% larger than the average of 57 m² in Transvaalbuurt-West. So you're paying more, but you're getting significantly more space. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra square metres in this central location.
The energy label is D. That's a middling score, not the most efficient, but not the worst either. You can expect moderate heating costs, but it's worth noting that 36.7% of homes in the neighbourhood have a label D or lower, so it's fairly typical for the area.
The train station is 1 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to get around Amsterdam and beyond without needing a car.
The neighbourhood has a mix of long-term residents and newcomers. One resident who has lived there for 79 years says it's a wonderful place to live. Another review is less positive, mentioning social tensions. Overall, it's a diverse, urban area with a strong community feel for some.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. Given that it's an apartment in a dense urban area, outdoor space is unlikely but not impossible. The agent would have the details.
Primary schools within a short walk include Integraal Kindcentrum De Kaap (175 m) and IBS De Vijgenboom (264 m). For secondary education, Pieter Nieuwland College is 431 m away. There are also several other options within a few hundred metres.
The neighbourhood recorded 187 total crimes in the latest data, which is moderate for a dense urban area. Resident reviews are mixed: some feel safe and love the area, while others mention issues with neighbours. It's always a good idea to visit at different times to get a feel for the street.
