About Nova Zemblastraat 381, Amsterdam
The asking price of €480,000 is close to the neighbourhood median of €465,000 and below the average of €543,750. Given the 53 m² floor area and energy label C, it's priced competitively for the area. Apartments in Spaarndammerbuurt-Noordoost sell for an average of €8,832 per m², so this one works out to about €9,057 per m², which is slightly above average but reasonable for a well-maintained 1988 build.
The apartment has an energy label C, which is average for homes in this neighbourhood. About 25% of homes in the area have label C, while 33% have label A. A C label means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier; you can expect moderate energy costs. The home was built in 1988, so it likely has some insulation but may not meet modern standards.

This distance is typical for this part of Amsterdam, where many residents rely on trams, buses, or cycling for longer journeys. The area is well-connected by public transport, with several tram and bus stops nearby.

The neighbourhood has a high proportion of single-person households (1,045 out of 1,660 households) and a large age group of 25 to 45 (960 residents).
