L-buurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 86 m² apartment on Leksmondhof sits in a quiet part of Amsterdam's L-buurt, a neighbourhood built in the late 1970s. The home has an energy label D, which is less efficient than most of the current supply in the area, something to factor in. At €350,000, the asking price is in line with the neighbourhood median of €349,500, making it a fair proposition compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.

Based on three reviews, residents appreciate the quiet streets and the proximity to shops and schools. One resident says: "It's a peaceful area with everything you need nearby." Another notes: "Good connections to the rest of the city." For more context, see the L-buurt neighbourhood.
