About John Franklinstraat 64-1, Amsterdam
The asking price of €399,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €480,000, but the flat is also smaller than average (48 m² vs 58 m²). The price per m² of €8,313 is in line with the local average of €8,276, so it is fairly priced for its size. Recent sales in the area went for an average of €503,133, suggesting the market is active.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. It means the home has basic insulation and double glazing in some places, but heating costs will be moderate. You can expect reasonable energy bills, though not as low as a modern A-label home.
The nearest train station is 3.1 km away, which is about a 10-minute cycle or a 15-minute bus ride. The area is well served by trams and buses, but for intercity trains you would need to head to Amsterdam Centraal or Sloterdijk.
John Franklinbuurt has a relatively small share of families, only 185 households with children out of 1,125. The area is dominated by singles and couples. However, there are several primary schools within walking distance, and the park is nearby. It is a safe, quiet residential street within a very urban setting.
With 48 m², it is likely a one-bedroom or a compact two-bedroom apartment. You would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace.
