About Lex Althoffstraat 27-3, Amsterdam
The asking price of €375,000 is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €427,042, but the median price for sold apartments here is €397,639. At €7,199 per m², it's in line with the local average. Given the E energy label and the compact 66 m², the price is competitive but not a bargain.
The energy label is E, which is below average for the neighbourhood, only 25% of homes here have a label D or lower. An E label means higher energy costs for heating and hot water, so you should budget for that. In the Dobbebuurt, most available homes have labels B or C.

There are several schools within walking distance. The Slotermeerschool (primary) is 384 m away, Basisschool De Henricus (primary) is 472 m, and Spring High (secondary) is 259 m. All are within a ten-minute walk, making the area convenient for families with school-age children.
