I have been living in this neighbourhood for 19 years now and have a good relationship with our neighbours. Fun events are regularly organised that the neighbourhood can join in with. My children went to school here and have built up many friends in the area. It is a cosy little village, most people know each other and care about one another.

About Amstelkade 137-2, Amsterdam
The asking price of €925,000 is above the neighbourhood median of €775,000 and the average of €852,061. However, this apartment is larger (105 m²) than the average sold home (96 m²), so the price per m² is roughly in line with the neighbourhood average of €9,159 per m². Whether it's fair depends on how you value the extra space and the classic 1928 architecture.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war building. In the neighbourhood, 35.3% of homes have label C, while 26.5% have D or lower. Label C means the home has reasonable insulation but heating costs will be moderate. You can expect to spend more on energy than a modern A-label home, but less than an uninsulated property.
Scheldebuurt-West is described by a long-term resident as 'child-friendly' with a village-like atmosphere. There are 540 children aged 0-15 in the area, and primary schools like Dongeschool are within walking distance. The neighbourhood organises regular events, and many families know each other. However, only 24% of households have children, so it's a mixed area.
The nearest train station is 1.1 km away, about a 15-minute walk. Given the high address density (7,303 per km²), public transport is frequent and accessible.
The average price per m² for apartments in Amsterdam is around €9,159, which matches this home's implied price per m² (€8,810). However, the neighbourhood median is lower at €775,000, so this apartment is priced above typical homes in Scheldebuurt-West. The larger floor area and pre-war character may justify the premium.
