About Overtoom 425-1, Amsterdam
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.
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.
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.
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.
The floor area is 57 m², which typically accommodates one or two bedrooms, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.
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.
You would need to ask the agent for details about the homeowners' association and monthly costs.
