Boekenbuurt, Amstelveen
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Max Havelaarlaan sits in a quiet, leafy part of Amstelveen. At 50 m² it's compact but efficient, with an energy label D. The asking price of €315,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €798,800, partly because the floor area is 59% smaller than the typical 121 m² in the area. For context, apartments in Amstelveen vary widely in size and price.
The Boekenbuurt is a well-established residential area with a mix of low-rise flats and houses. It's a quiet, family-friendly pocket with tree-lined streets. The neighbourhood has a strong urban feel (address density 2,828 per km²) yet a park or public garden is just a couple of streets away. Most homes were built between 1970 and 1990 or after 2010, and the area is popular with older residents and singles. The Boekenbuurt neighbourhood has a calm, settled atmosphere.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Lidl and Vomar a five-minute walk away. Primary schools are close: De Bloeiwijzer is on your doorstep, and Brede School Omnibus is a five-minute walk. For secondary education, Futuris is also a five-minute walk. The nearest train station is 5 km away, so you'll rely on the bus or car for longer journeys. The municipality of Amstelveen offers good amenities within easy reach.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Amstel Vastgoed.
