About Newtonstraat 69-4, Amsterdam
The asking price of €475,000 is 43% below the neighbourhood average of €836,923, but the apartment is also 52% smaller than the average (46 m² vs 95 m²). The price per square metre works out at around €10,326, which is above the neighbourhood average of €8,767 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium for the compact size and excellent energy label.
The apartment has an energy label A, which is very efficient. This means heating and electricity costs will be relatively low compared to older properties. In the neighbourhood, 23.1% of homes have label A, while 46.2% have label C and 30.8% have D or lower. So this home is among the most efficient in the area.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, which is about an 18-minute walk or a short cycle. This gives you direct connections to Amsterdam Centraal and other major stations.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Oecumenische Basisschool Frankendael is just 65 m away, Watergraafsmeerse schoolvereniging is 256 m, and 5e Montessorischool Watergraafsmeer is 283 m. For secondary education, Montessori Lyceum Oostpoort is 448 m away, offering vmbo, mavo, havo and vwo levels.
The listing does not specify the number of bedrooms. With a floor area of 46 m², it is likely a one-bedroom or compact two-bedroom apartment, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.
The neighbourhood recorded 159 total crimes in the latest data, which for a densely populated urban area (address density 7,118 per km²) is moderate. The area is generally considered safe, with a mix of families and long-term residents.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. Given that the apartment is on the fourth floor (as indicated by the address suffix -4), it is unlikely to have a private garden. There is a park just 0.2 km away for outdoor space.
