About Lekstraat 178-2, Amsterdam
The asking price of €795,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood median of €722,500 but close to the average of €766,056. Given the 105 m² floor area, the price per m² is about €7,571, which is below the neighbourhood average of €8,137 per m². So it's priced in line with the market, not particularly keen or high.
The energy label is D. This is less efficient than most homes currently for sale in Scheldebuurt-Oost, where over 78% of listings have labels C or better. A D label means you can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not the worst, about 21% of homes in the area have labels D or lower.
The nearest train station is 1.4 km away, which is about a 17-minute walk or a short cycle. This gives you direct connections to the rest of Amsterdam and beyond.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: the 15e montessorischool van Maas en Waal is just 65 metres away, and IBS Elif Amsterdam and Daltonbasisschool De Rivieren are both about 144 metres. For secondary education, the Berlage Lyceum is 549 metres away.
Vomar is 309 metres away, Albert Heijn at 371 metres, and Coop at 469 metres. So you have several options for daily groceries within a five-minute walk.
The neighbourhood recorded 142 total crimes in the latest data. With a population of 2,430, that's a crime rate of about 58 per 1,000 residents. It's an urban area with a high density, so some crime is expected, but it's not exceptionally high for Amsterdam.
The neighbourhood has a high proportion of single-person households (680 out of 1,090 households) and a large 25-45 age group (1,110 residents). So it's popular among young professionals and couples. Only 280 households have children, so it's less family-oriented than some other areas.
