Frequently asked questions
About Overtoom 425-1, Amsterdam
Is €500,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €500,000 is 37% below the neighbourhood average of €796,821, which suggests it is keenly priced. However, the apartment is 57 m² with an energy label D, and the average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €11,121. At roughly €8,772 per m², it is below that average, so it may attract interest.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. This is a mid-range label, meaning the home is not particularly energy-efficient but also not the worst. Heating costs will be moderate compared to a label A home, but higher than a modern, well-insulated property. In the neighbourhood, about 32% of homes have a label D or lower.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride. The area is well served by trams and buses, so public transport connections are good.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
The Vondelparkbuurt-West has a young population, with many singles and couples. Only about 200 households have children, so it is not a typical family neighbourhood. However, there are several primary schools within walking distance, and the Vondelpark offers green space for children.
How many rooms does the apartment have?
The floor area is 57 m², which typically accommodates one or two bedrooms, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. Given the apartment is on Overtoom, a busy street, it is unlikely to have private outdoor space, but the Vondelpark is just a five-minute walk away.
What is the service charge or VvE contribution?
You would need to ask the agent for details about the homeowners' association and monthly costs.
