The asking price is 16% below the average asking price in the Gelderlandpleinbuurt (€588,488) and also under the median of €515,000. Given the 81 m² floor area and the energy label G, the price looks keen compared to other listings in the neighbourhood. However, the energy label means higher running costs, so factor that in.

The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the apartment is not well insulated and heating costs will be significant. In the neighbourhood, about a third of homes have labels D or lower, so this is not unusual for a 1964 building, but you should expect higher energy bills than a modern home.

The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a 15-20 minute walk or a short cycle. That's a reasonable distance for accessing the wider rail network, though the neighbourhood itself is well served by trams and buses.

Based on one resident review, the area is described as a warm, family-friendly environment. The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with many singles (1,785 one-person households) and a significant number of over-65s (1,070). There are also 510 households with children, so it's a diverse community.

SPAR is just around the corner (267 m), and Ekoplaza is a couple of streets away (328 m). For a bigger shop, Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk (573 m) and AH XL is a ten-minute walk (652 m). Jumbo is also within walking distance (685 m). So daily groceries are very convenient.

Yes, several schools are within walking distance. Merkelbachschool (primary) is 624 m away, about a five-minute walk. For secondary education, Kolom Praktijkcollege De Atlant is 469 m away, and De Apollo is 675 m. There's also a special needs school (VSO Alphons Laudy) at 517 m.

The neighbourhood recorded 298 total crimes in the latest data. Without a per-capita comparison, it's hard to judge, but the resident review describes it as a warm and family-friendly environment, which suggests a generally safe feel.
