About Balistraat 95-3, Amsterdam
The asking price of €465,000 is very close to the neighbourhood average of €462,061 and the median of €475,000. Given that the apartment is 75 m², 42% larger than the typical 53 m² in the area, the price per m² works out at €6,200, which is below the neighbourhood average of €9,023. So it's priced keenly for its size.
The home has energy label D. In the neighbourhood, most available homes have better labels: 48.5% are label C, 21.2% label B, and 12.1% label A. So heating and electricity costs are likely to be higher than in a more modern property, but label D is still common for a 1913 building.
The nearest train station is 0.7 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to reach other parts of Amsterdam or further afield.
Timorpleinbuurt-Zuid is mostly young singles and couples: only 485 out of 2,650 households have children. There are primary schools within walking distance, but the area is more suited to professionals or couples without kids.
