Every day people are threatened with nasty things but otherwise, good shops etc. The safety is fine but as soon as you enter Middenhoven you have to watch out for people.

About Populierenlaan 175, Amstelveen
The asking price of €400,000 is 17% below the average asking price in the Populierenbuurt (€484,000) and also below the median of €435,000. Given the 81 m² floor area, the price per m² works out at about €4,938, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €5,202 per m². So it's priced keenly compared to other homes currently for sale.
The energy label is E, which is on the lower end of the scale. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, 42.9% of homes have label C, and another 42.9% have label D or lower, so an E label is not unusual for a 1962 building.
Resident reviews give a mixed picture. One reviewer says the area is 'Dangerous' and mentions threats, while another says it's 'Boring' with children causing trouble. A third reviewer gives a score of 8.63 and finds the shops nearby. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 136, but without context it's hard to compare. It's best to visit the area yourself to get a feel for safety.
The Coop supermarket is just around the corner (327 m), and Ekoplaza and Albert Heijn are about a 5-10 minute walk away. For schools, the Amstelveen College (secondary) is 586 m away, and primary schools Het Palet (836 m) and Montessorischool De Linde (939 m) are within walking distance. A GP and a restaurant are also just around the corner.
The nearest train station is 6.8 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bike, bus or car to reach it.
