About Haarlemmerweg 249A, Amsterdam
The price is on the high side compared to other apartments in Amsterdam, but the GWL-terrein location is unique, a car-free, green neighbourhood in the city. The 75 m² floor area and A energy label add to the value. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the quiet, sustainable setting.
GWL-terrein is a former waterworks site turned into a car-free residential area with lots of greenery. It's very quiet and family-oriented, with mostly couples and children. The community is small, around 1,220 residents, and the streets are safe for kids to play. It feels like a village within Amsterdam.
The apartment has an A energy label, which means it's very efficient. You can expect low heating costs and good insulation. This is a strong point, especially in a city where older buildings often have lower labels.
An Albert Heijn supermarket is about 500 metres away, and a Jumbo is within 900 metres. Several primary schools are within walking distance, including Oecumenische basisschool De Catamaran at 289 metres and Basisschool De Bron at 508 metres. A secondary school, Het Cartesius Lyceum, is about a kilometre away.
The nearest train station is 3.2 km away. That's about a 40-minute walk or a short bike ride.
The GWL-terrein is generally considered very safe. The total number of reported crimes in the area is 53, which is low for an urban neighbourhood. The car-free layout and strong community feel contribute to a secure environment.
