About Kierkegaardstraat 51, Amstelveen
The asking price of €395,000 is significantly below the neighbourhood average of €945,575 and the median of €792,500. In fact, it's the cheapest of the 20 apartments currently for sale in the Van der Leekbuurt. While the energy label D may mean higher heating costs compared to newer homes, the price reflects that. Given the market, this is a keenly priced property.
The energy label is D. In a neighbourhood where 64.7% of homes have an A+ label and only 17.6% are D or lower, this apartment is less efficient than most. You can expect higher energy bills than a modern, well-insulated home, but the lower purchase price may offset that.
The SPAR express is just 98 metres away, so you can pop out for groceries in a minute. For a full supermarket, Ekoplaza is 776 metres, Lidl 788 metres, Jumbo 837 metres, and Albert Heijn 841 metres, all within a ten-minute walk.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Vrije Basisschool Parcival (441 m), Montessorischool De Linde (499 m), and Het Palet (572 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is about 1.2 km away.
The nearest train station is 6.3 km away, so it's not within walking distance. However, Amstelveen has good tram and bus connections to Amsterdam and Schiphol.
