About Fideliolaan 174, Amstelveen
The asking price of €490,000 is 22% below the average asking price in the Operabuurt (€631,000). However, the apartment is also smaller than average (77 m² vs 108 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €6,364, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €5,878 per m². So while the total price is low, you are paying a premium for the size.

There are several primary schools within walking distance, including School of Understanding and Brede School Omnibus. The area is quiet and green, with a park just a couple of streets away. It is a densely populated urban neighbourhood, but the streets feel calm.
