However, this apartment is smaller than average (86 m² vs 131 m²), so the price per m² is about €8,430, still below the neighbourhood average of €10,455 per m².

The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably energy-efficient. You can expect lower heating costs compared to older properties with labels D or lower. In Plantage, 25% of homes have label B, so this is in line with the neighbourhood.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short tram ride. Amsterdam's central stations are well connected, but you'll need to factor in that distance for daily commuting.
Plantage has a low proportion of families, only 15% of households have children.
