Frequently asked questions
About Keizer Karelweg 281, Amstelveen
Is €600,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €600,000 is 44% below the average asking price in Elsrijk West (€1,063,125) and well under the median of €947,500. However, the apartment has an energy label F, which means higher heating costs. Given the size and location, the price is keen compared to other homes in the neighbourhood.
What does energy label F mean for my bills?
Energy label F indicates a less efficient home, so you can expect higher energy costs for heating and electricity. The home was built in 1961, and without modern insulation or double glazing, bills will be higher than in a more efficient property. It is worth factoring this into your budget.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 5.2 km away, so it is not within walking distance. You would need a bike, bus or car to reach it.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
Elsrijk West is popular with families: 50% of households have children, and there are several primary schools within walking distance. Residents describe it as a cosy, friendly neighbourhood with all amenities nearby. The park just around the corner is a bonus for children.
How long do homes typically stay on the market here?
In Elsrijk West, sold homes took an average of 45 days to sell. That is a moderate pace, suggesting a balanced market. The current listing has 16 apartments for sale, so there is some choice.
Are there supermarkets within walking distance?
Yes, Albert Heijn is just 422 metres away (a five-minute walk), and another Albert Heijn is 680 metres away. Lidl is 870 metres away, also walkable. For daily shopping, you are well covered.
What is the urbanity level of the area?
