About Parnassusweg 119, Amsterdam
The asking price of €515,000 is 64% below the neighbourhood average of €1,423,600, but the apartment is also smaller (80 m² vs. 126 m² average). The price per m² works out to about €6,438, which is below the neighbourhood average of €9,948 per m². Given the E energy label and the 1967 build, the price seems keen compared to other listings in the Prinses Irenebuurt.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, 46.2% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area. It may be worth considering improvements like insulation or double glazing to reduce energy bills.
The nearest train station is 0.8 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk.
