Generaal Vetterstraat 14-1

The asking price of €995,000 is 55% above the neighbourhood average of €640,500, and it is the most expensive of the 25 apartments currently for sale in Aalsmeerwegbuurt-Oost. However, this home is also 49% larger than the average (104 m² versus 70 m²) and has an A energy label, which is rare in an area where 92.6% of homes were built before 1945. Whether it is fair depends on how you value the extra space and efficiency.

At 104 m², this apartment is 49% larger than the neighbourhood average of 70 m². The average price per square metre in the area is €9,397, which would put a 104 m² home at around €977,000, close to the asking price of €995,000. So the price per square metre is slightly above average, but the home also has a top energy label.

The energy label is A, which is very efficient. In the neighbourhood, only 18.2% of homes have label A, while 40.9% have label C and 27.3% have D or lower. An A label means lower heating costs and a smaller environmental footprint, which is a strong advantage in a pre-war building.

The nearest train station is 2.3 km away. That is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride.

Aalsmeerwegbuurt-Oost has a young population, with many residents in their twenties and thirties. There are 230 households with children out of a total of 1,325 households, so families are present but not dominant. The area has several primary schools within walking distance and a secondary school nearby, plus parks like the Vondelpark just around the corner.

In the past period, 63 homes were sold in the neighbourhood, with an average selling time of 29 days. That is relatively quick, suggesting demand is healthy. The average sold price was €672,063, which is below the asking price of this apartment, but this home is larger and more efficient than most.

Albert Heijn is 368 metres away, just around the corner. Lidl is 575 metres away, a five-minute walk. There are several other Albert Heijn locations within 700 metres, so daily shopping is very convenient.

The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. The plot size is not stated, so it is not possible to say whether there is any private outdoor space. Many apartments in the area have no garden, but some may have a small balcony.
