About James Rosskade 13-2, Amsterdam
The asking price is 42% above the neighbourhood average of €387,154, but the apartment is also 71% larger than the average home in Robert Scottbuurt-West (87 m² vs 51 m²). So you're paying a premium for extra space. The price per m² works out to about €6,322, which is below the neighbourhood average of €8,099 per m², suggesting the price is in line with the market when you factor in the size.
The energy label is D. This means the home is moderately efficient, it's not the most economical, but it's not the worst either. In the neighbourhood, most homes for sale have better labels (over 60% are label A or better), so heating costs may be higher than in a more modern property. The label is based on the 1949 construction, which typically has solid walls and single glazing unless upgraded.
The nearest train station is 2.9 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a short bike ride. Amsterdam's public transport network is extensive, so buses and trams are also available nearby.
The CBS data records 159 total crimes in the neighbourhood, but without a per-capita figure or breakdown, it's hard to judge. The area is densely populated and urban, so like any city neighbourhood, it's a mix. You can check local crime maps for more detail.
