Overtoomse Veld-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 63 m² apartment on Postjesweg sits in a 1961 block, with an energy label G that means high heating costs to expect.

For context, most apartments in Amsterdam in this price range are smaller or need updating.
The neighbourhood Overtoomse Veld-Zuid is a densely built part of Nieuw-West with 4,650 residents, mostly young adults and singles. One resident describes it as "Pretty decent": "It doesn't have a very good reputation, which is partly justified but partly not so bad. Yes, every now and then you hear an explosion, which certainly isn't pleasant, but when you walk through the neighbourhood there's also a lot of diversity and I almost never feel unsafe." The same review notes the area is green and cosy, but the streets can be dirty. Based on this single review, the neighbourhood scores 6.63 out of 10.
Daily shopping is a breeze: Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, and Lidl is just around the corner. For school runs, OBS de Toekomst (primary) is a couple of streets away, and DENISE (secondary) is a five-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers plenty of parks and public transport, with a train station a ten-minute walk away.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Expat Property, Pararius, Huispedia and Funda.

I live in Nieuw-West in Amsterdam. It doesn't have a very good reputation, which is partly justified but partly not so bad. Yes, every now and then you hear an explosion, which certainly isn't pleasant, but when you walk through the neighbourhood there's also a lot of diversity and I almost never feel unsafe (though that doesn't say much as a 1.90m man). Furthermore, it can be very cosy and there's a lot of greenery in the area, which is also very nice. The buildings are ugly, but I can live with that. The street is also very dirty, because apparently nobody cares about nature and the streetscape, so everything gets thrown on the street. In terms of amenities, there's enough, but if I need clothes, for example, I have to go to the city centre, so that's why it's not rated very high but still sufficient. The city centre is (by Amsterdam standards) fortunately not very far to cycle and there's also a train station nearby and the metro goes there too.

About Postjesweg 403, Amsterdam
The asking price is 21% below the average asking price in Overtoomse Veld-Zuid (€492,786) and also below the median of €472,500. However, the energy label G means running costs will be higher than for a better-rated home. Given the size and location, the price is on the low side for the area.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not well insulated and you can expect high energy bills. In the neighbourhood, 28.6% of homes have label A or A+, and 19% have label B, so this flat is among the least efficient in the area.
Albert Heijn is just 20 metres away, literally on your doorstep. Lidl is 47 metres away, so you have two supermarkets within a minute's walk.
Primary school OBS de Toekomst is 116 metres away, and secondary school DENISE is 257 metres away. There are also several other schools within a short walk, including a special education school at 313 metres.
The nearest train station is 1 km away, about a ten-minute walk.
