About Camera Obscuralaan 378, Amstelveen
The asking price of €425,000 is 47% below the average asking price in the Boekenbuurt (€798,800). However, the apartment is also smaller than average (73 m² vs 121 m²). The price per m² works out at about €5,822, which is below the neighbourhood average of €6,595 per m². So it is priced keenly for the area.
The energy label is E. This means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs are likely to be higher than in a home with a better label. In the Boekenbuurt, about 32% of homes have a label of D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.
The nearest train station is 5 km away. That is a reasonable distance for cycling or driving, but not within walking distance for a daily commute.

A Lidl and a Vomar are both about 581 m away, just around the corner. An Albert Heijn is 752 m away (a ten-minute walk), and a Dirk is 814 m away. So daily groceries are easily covered on foot.
