About Max Havelaarlaan 147, Amstelveen
The asking price of €395,000 is 51% below the neighbourhood average of €798,800, but the apartment is also 43% smaller than the average home in Boekenbuurt (69 m² vs 121 m²). Given the compact size and the energy label D, the price is in line with what you would expect for a smaller apartment in this area.
The energy label is D. This means the home is moderately efficient; heating costs will be higher than in a modern, well-insulated home but lower than in a very old, uninsulated property. In the neighbourhood, about 32% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a building from 1971.
The nearest train station is 5 km away. That is a reasonable distance for cycling or a short bus ride, but not within walking distance for a daily commute.
Boekenbuurt recorded 104 total crimes in the latest data, which for a neighbourhood of about 3,080 residents is moderate. The area is generally considered quiet and residential, with a mix of ages and families.
