About Camera Obscuralaan 314, Amstelveen
The asking price is 44% below the average asking price in Boekenbuurt (€798,800) and also below the median of €675,000. However, the apartment is smaller than average (73 m² vs 121 m²) and has an energy label D. Given the lower floor area and older energy label, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a compact flat in this neighbourhood.
The energy label is D. This means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern, well-insulated home. In the neighbourhood, about 32% of homes have a label D or lower, so it's not unusual for a property built in 1966.
The nearest train station is 5 km away. That's a 10-15 minute bike ride or a short bus trip. The area is well connected by bus, but for direct train services you'll need to travel a bit further.
There are several schools within walking distance. Futuris (secondary) and Brede School Omnibus (primary) are both about 250 m away, and School of Understanding (primary) is around 350 m. For special primary education, De Bloeiwijzer is also close by.
At the time of writing, there are 15 apartments for sale in Boekenbuurt. The average asking price is €798,800, but prices range from €325,000 to €2,200,000. This apartment is on the lower end of that range.
