Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience in the neighbourhood as a 21-year-old student is limited because I don't need to be there much; I would like to be more in touch with the neighbourhood, but that might be down to me, I don't know how. School and the facilities are pleasant and I feel at ease when I walk around.

About Overtoom 136-2, Amsterdam
The asking price of €650,000 is 28% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€898,800) and exactly matches the median asking price. Given the 69 m² floor area, that works out to about €9,420 per m², while the neighbourhood average is €11,204 per m². So it's priced keenly, especially with an A energy label in a 1888 building.
WG-terrein is a very densely populated urban area with a mix of students, singles, and older residents. It's busy and can be noisy, with some residents noting dirt and exhaust fumes. On the plus side, it's central, with excellent amenities and a lively atmosphere. The neighbourhood has a high crime rate, so it's worth being aware of that.
Albert Heijn is just 87 metres away, so you can pop out for groceries in a minute. Jumbo is 173 metres and Lidl 253 metres, giving you plenty of choice within a short walk.
Huygens College (secondary school) is 274 metres away. For primary education, Cornelis Vrijschool is at 505 metres, Basisschool Het Museumkwartier at 576 metres, and Kindcentrum De Kinkerbuurt at 599 metres. All are within a ten-minute walk.
The apartment has an A energy label, which is excellent for a building from 1888. That means low energy costs and good insulation. In the neighbourhood, only 18.2% of homes have label A, and 9.1% have A+ or better, so this is above average.
The nearest train station is 3 km away, so it's not within walking distance for a daily commute. However, the area is well served by trams and buses, and the city centre is easily reachable by bike or on foot.
The neighbourhood recorded 250 total crimes, which is relatively high. It's an urban area with a lot of activity, so it's something to consider, though many residents feel safe walking around.
