About Max Havelaarlaan 513, Amstelveen
The asking price of €325,000 is the lowest of the 15 homes currently for sale in Boekenbuurt and sits 59% below the neighbourhood average of €798,800. However, this apartment is also much smaller than average (48 m² vs 121 m²). The price per square metre works out to about €6,771, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €6,595 per m². So while the total price is low, you are paying a premium for the compact size.
The apartment has energy label C. This is a middling label, not as efficient as the newer builds in the area (about 41% of homes in Boekenbuurt have label A or better), but better than the 32% with label D or lower. With label C you can expect reasonable energy costs, though not as low as a modern A-label home.
The nearest train station is 5 km away, so commuting by rail is not very convenient from this location. However, Amstelveen has good tram and bus connections to Amsterdam and Schiphol.
Boekenbuurt has a mix of households: about 400 with children and 435 without. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Brede School Omnibus (484 m) and Montessori Kindcentrum Mio Mondo (635 m). The area has a park just 100 m away, and the streets are quiet. However, the apartment itself is compact, so it may suit a small family or a couple with one child.
