The Louis Couperusbuurt is a leafy pocket of Slotermeer-Zuidoost, with trees in courtyards and a calm, safe feel. Based on two reviews, residents appreciate the green surroundings and the mix of cultures, though opinions vary. One resident says: "A beautiful nature area with trees in courtyards close to the city. A safe area where incidents are avoided, a neighbourhood that is healthy and cheap to live in for starters. Lots of green, peace and environmentally friendly for singles. You can park your car in front of the door. The residents are from different cultures, many young people. It gives peace and enjoyment." Another is less positive: "The neighbourhood coaches do nothing, the parents do nothing. Children are rude." The area is densely populated (over 4,900 addresses per km²) and home to many singles and young adults. For more on the area, visit the neighbourhood Louis Couperusbuurt.

About Burgemeester Röellstraat 30-3, Amsterdam
At €300,000, this flat is the cheapest of the five homes currently for sale in the Louis Couperusbuurt and sits 31% below the neighbourhood's average asking price of €437,600. The average price per m² in the area is €6,194, while this flat works out at about €5,172 per m². Given the 58 m² size and E energy label, the price is keen for Amsterdam, though you'll need to budget for higher energy costs.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating and electricity bills compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, 83.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical for the area. The flat was built in 1962, and none of the homes in the buurt have labels A or B.
The Louis Couperusbuurt is described by one resident as a safe, green area with a mix of cultures and many young people.
