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 537, Amstelveen
The asking price of €525,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €484,000 and the median of €435,000. However, at €5,966 per m², it's higher than the average of €5,202 per m² in the Populierenbuurt. Given that only 7 apartments are currently for sale and 30 were sold recently (average selling price €434,700), the price is on the high side but reflects the specific property.
The apartment has energy label C. This is a common label for homes built in the 1960s. It means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs. In the neighbourhood, 42.9% of homes have label C, and another 42.9% have label D or lower, so this is about average for the area.
Residents have mixed feelings about safety. One review mentions feeling threatened, while another says safety is fine but warns about the adjacent Middenhoven area. The neighbourhood recorded 136 total crimes, which is moderate for a strongly urban area. It's best to visit at different times to get your own impression.
The nearest train station is 6.8 km away, so it's not within walking distance. However, Amstelveen has good tram and bus connections.
Yes, a park or public garden is just 0.4 km away, so it's around a five-minute walk. The neighbourhood itself has many trees and green strips, making it a pleasant area for walks.
The floor area is 88 m², which typically allows for two or three bedrooms, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.
