Populierenbuurt, Amstelveen
NeighbourhoodThis 1960s apartment on Populierenlaan sits in a quiet, green corner of Amstelveen. With 81 m² of living space and an F energy label, it's a solid home that could use some modernisation. The asking price of €365,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €484,000, about 25% lower, and well below the cheapest other listing at €390,000. For context, that's also below the average price per m² in the area (€5,202). If you're looking at apartments in Amstelveen, this one stands out on price.
The neighbourhood Populierenbuurt is a densely populated area (2,575 addresses per km²) with a mix of ages and household types. Based on three reviews, opinions vary. One resident calls it "Dangerous" and says: "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." Another finds it "Boring" and notes: "Many children causing trouble. It's sometimes fun but they often threaten you, etc." A third gives a higher score (8.63) and says: "Sometimes everything is a bit far but the most important shops are nearby." So it's a neighbourhood with contrasts, decent amenities but some safety concerns.
For your morning bread, Coop is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. There's also Ekoplaza and PLUS within easy reach. Schools are close too: the Amstelveen College (secondary) is a couple of streets away, and primary school Het Palet is about a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amstelveen offers plenty of green space, a park is just around the corner, and a restaurant is even closer. The nearest train station is 6.8 km away, so you'll rely on buses or a car for longer trips.
At the time of writing, this home is listed through several channels, including Admiraal ERA Makelaardij and Funda. The asking price is €365,000, and the listing includes the key details you see here.

About Populierenlaan 239, Amstelveen
The asking price of €365,000 is 25% below the average asking price in Populierenbuurt (€484,000) and also below the cheapest other listing (€390,000). The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €5,202, while this home works out at about €4,506 per m². So it's priced keenly, though the F energy label and 1960 build mean you may need to budget for upgrades.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. In the neighbourhood, 42.9% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is on the lower end. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a more efficient home, and improvements like insulation or double glazing could be worth considering.
Resident reviews give mixed views on safety. One says "the safety is fine" but warns about a neighbouring area, while another mentions "many children causing trouble" and threats. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 136, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. It's best to visit at different times to get a feel.
Coop is 370 m away, Albert Heijn 600 m, and Ekoplaza and PLUS are within 730 m. For schools, Amstelveen College (secondary) is 591 m, primary school Het Palet is 885 m, and Montessorischool De Linde is 980 m. A GP and a park are both 400 m away.
The nearest train station is 6.8 km from the home. That's a bit far for walking, so you'd likely cycle or take a bus.
Populierenbuurt has 3,605 residents, with a mix of ages: 14% under 15, 28% aged 25-45, and 24% over 65. About 45% of households are single-person, and 27% are families with children. The area is very urban (address density 2,575 per km²).
Sold homes in Populierenbuurt took an average of 76 days to sell, which is a bit over two months. That suggests a fairly balanced market, not too fast, not too slow.
