About Max Havelaarlaan 465, Amstelveen
The asking price is 58% below the neighbourhood average of €798,800, but the apartment is also 60% smaller than the typical home in the area. Given the compact size and energy label D, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a 48 m² apartment in this part of Amstelveen.
The energy label is D, which is average for a building from 1974. You can expect moderate heating costs, but it's not as efficient as modern labels like A or B. About 32% of homes in the neighbourhood have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
The nearest train station is 5 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bus or bike to reach it.
There are several schools within walking distance. Primary school De Bloeiwijzer is just 165 m away, and Brede School Omnibus is 484 m. For secondary education, Futuris is also 484 m. The area has a good selection of both primary and secondary schools.
The listing does not specify the number of rooms, but with 48 m², it's likely a two-room apartment (a living room and a bedroom).
