Aalsmeerwegbuurt-West, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Heemstedestraat sits in a quiet pocket of Amsterdam-West, with a classic 1930s feel. At 53 m² it's compact but well-proportioned, and the energy label D means heating costs are something to factor in. The asking price of €495,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average, about 23% below the typical €645,216, which partly reflects the size and label. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, so this one sits at the more accessible end of the market.
The Aalsmeerwegbuurt-West neighbourhood is a dense, pre-war area with a very high address density, over 6,800 addresses per km². Most homes are apartments, and the population skews young: over half are between 25 and 45. It's a mix of singles and couples, with relatively few families with children. The area feels calm for its urban setting, with a park and a GP both within a five-minute walk. No resident reviews are available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from the statistics alone.
For your morning bread or evening groceries, there are several supermarkets just around the corner: an Albert Heijn, a Dirk, and another Albert Heijn. Schools are also close by, the SBO Tobiasschool (special primary) is a couple of streets away, and the Oecumenische basisschool Nautilus (primary) is a five-minute walk. The area falls under the municipality of Amsterdam, so you're within the city's services and public transport network.

About Heemstedestraat 39-2, Amsterdam
The asking price of €495,000 is about 23% below the neighbourhood average of €645,216, which makes it keenly priced. However, the apartment is 53 m² with an energy label D, while the neighbourhood average floor area is 63 m² and most homes for sale have better energy labels. So the lower price reflects the smaller size and less efficient label.
The energy label is D. In the neighbourhood, over 60% of homes have label C and only about 21% have D or lower, so this apartment is on the less efficient side. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label, but no exact running costs are stated in the listing.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle. The listing does not specify which station, but the distance is given.
