Was €440,000 a fair price for this apartment?
At 55 m², that worked out to €8,000 per m², which was typical for a historic city-centre apartment in Amersfoort. The A+ energy label added value because it kept energy costs low.
What is the neighbourhood like?
Nieuwstraat e.o. is the historic centre of Amersfoort, with a very high address density of over 4,400 per km². It's a young area, many residents are between 25 and 45, and there are lots of singles. The streets are lively, with shops, cafés and restaurants. It's also safe, with 60 reported crimes in the latest data, which is moderate for a city centre.
How far is the train station?
Amersfoort Centraal is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. From there you can reach Utrecht in 15 minutes and Amsterdam in 30 minutes. The station also has direct intercity services to many other Dutch cities.
What supermarkets are nearby?

What schools are in the area?

For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.3 km away. The area has a good choice of schools within a short walk or bike ride.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The listing did not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. Given that this is a first-floor apartment in a historic city-centre building, it's unlikely to have private outdoor space. The nearest park or public garden is 400 metres away, so you're not far from green areas.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A+, which is very efficient. This meant the home was well insulated and had low heating costs. For a 1933 building, that's impressive, it likely has modern double glazing and a good heating system. You won't have to worry about high energy bills.
