This apartment on Boeckenburg sits in the quiet, green Buitenveldert-Zuid-Midden area of Amsterdam.

Frequently asked questions
About Boeckenburg 45, Amsterdam
Is €450,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €450,000 is 27% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€617,867). However, the apartment is also smaller than average (63 m² vs 87 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €7,143, which is in line with the neighbourhood average of €7,109 per m². So the price is competitive for the size, but you are paying less overall because the home is compact.
What does energy label F mean for my energy bills?
Energy label F is the second-lowest rating, so you can expect relatively high energy costs compared to a more efficient home. In the neighbourhood, most homes for sale have a better label (about 72% are label C or higher). The label is an official registration and does not necessarily mean the property is poorly insulated, it could be due to the heating system. Budget for higher monthly energy expenses.
