Frequently asked questions
About Bankastraat 59E, Amsterdam
Was €525,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €525,000 was slightly above the neighbourhood median of €475,000 but below the average sold price of €548,771. Given the 53 m² floor area, the price per m² worked out to about €9,906, which was a bit higher than the neighbourhood average of €9,004. So it's on the high side, but not unreasonably so for a well-located pre-war flat.
What is the energy label D likely to mean for my bills?
Energy label D is average for a home built in 1912. It means the property has some insulation but is not as efficient as modern homes. In the neighbourhood, 29% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical.
How is the public transport connection from Bankastraat?
The nearest train station is 1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The area is well served for getting around Amsterdam.
What are the neighbours like in Timorpleinbuurt-Noord?
The neighbourhood is young and urban, with many singles and few families. One resident says: "I like the atmosphere and there are nice people living here." However, they also note that there is often litter on the streets and a desire for more greenery.
Are there any parks or green spaces nearby?
Yes, the Oosterpark is about 500 metres away, a five-minute walk. There's also a park or public garden within 500 metres. The resident review mentions a wish for more greenery in the streets, but the nearby park offers a good escape.
