Bilderdijkkade 97-2

The asking price is about 4% above the average sale price in Da Costabuurt-Zuid (€646,870) and 12.5% above the median (€600,000). However, this apartment has an A energy label, which is rare in a neighbourhood where 93% of homes were built before 1945. Given the efficient label and the central location, the price is in line with what similar modernised apartments fetch.

Da Costabuurt-Zuid is a friendly, urban area with a strong sense of community. One long-term resident describes it as safe and welcoming, with neighbours greeting each other on the street. The Kinkerstraat offers handy shops and a pleasant atmosphere, though it has become more touristy lately. The area is densely populated with mostly singles and young professionals.

The nearest train station is 3.2 km away, which is about a 40-minute walk or a short tram ride. The area is well-connected by trams and buses, so you can reach Amsterdam Centraal in around 20 minutes by public transport.

Albert Heijn is just 146 metres away, with Dirk and Vomar within 300 metres. For secondary education, Huygens College is 160 metres away. Primary schools include Kindcentrum De Kinkerbuurt (409 m) and OBS Leonardo da Vinci (412 m). There are also several childcare centres within walking distance.

The apartment has an energy label A, which means it is very efficient. In a neighbourhood where 93% of homes were built before 1945, an A label is exceptional. It keeps heating costs low and makes the home more comfortable year-round. Only 37.5% of homes in the area have label A, so this is a standout feature.

Currently, 27 apartments are for sale in Da Costabuurt-Zuid, with prices ranging from €300,000 to €1,465,000. The average price per m² is €9,075, so this apartment at €9,783 per m² is slightly above average but justified by its energy label and condition.
