My experience is good
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience is: that the people don't get along with each other, don't want to make an effort for each other and don't know how to keep your neighbourhood clean and that is the problem of my neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AII really like living in Bos en Lommer, it's easily accessible and close to the centre and my school. I never really feel unsafe, even at night, and there's plenty to do. The only thing I regret is that there isn't much nature in the neighbourhood; I wouldn't quickly go for a nice walk, which I did in Friesland. Also, it's not always very clean, there's a lot of litter on the ground.

About Blauwvoetstraat 10-1, Amsterdam
Yes, it's a keen price. At €425,000, this is the cheapest of the nine apartments currently for sale in Kolenkitbuurt-Zuid and 22% below the neighbourhood average of €546,611. The average price per square metre in the area is €7,418, so this 50 m² flat is priced well below that. However, the flat is also 35% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 77 m², so the lower price partly reflects the compact size.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. That means you can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared to older homes. In the neighbourhood, 75% of homes have label A, so this flat is in line with the local standard.
