About President Kennedylaan 236-2, Amsterdam
At €575,000 it's the cheapest of the 33 apartments currently for sale in Scheldebuurt-West, and 33% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €852,061. The floor area is 29% smaller than the average (68 m² vs 96 m²), so the price per m² is roughly in line with the market. Given the compact size and energy label D, it's priced keenly for someone looking for a classic Amsterdam apartment in a popular area.
The energy label is D. That means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 26.5% of homes have label D or lower, while 20.6% have label A. It's worth factoring in potential upgrades if you want to improve efficiency.
The resident review describes it as a 'child-friendly cosy little village' where children go to school locally and build friendships. The area has 540 households with children, and there are several primary schools within walking distance, including a Montessori school. Fun neighbourhood events are regularly organised, and people know each other.
Dirk supermarket is just around the corner (249 m), Coop is a couple of streets away (333 m), and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk (478 m). There's a restaurant within a couple of streets (0.2 km), a GP practice a five-minute walk away (0.4 km), and a park or public garden also a five-minute walk (0.4 km). The train station is a ten-minute walk (1.1 km).
The building was constructed in 1934, so it's a classic pre-war Amsterdam apartment with high ceilings and original features. The energy label D suggests the insulation and heating system are original or not recently upgraded. The listing doesn't mention any recent renovations, so you'd want to inspect the condition yourself.
At €575,000 it's the cheapest apartment in the neighbourhood, which makes it relatively accessible for Amsterdam. However, the 68 m² floor area is compact, and the energy label D means higher running costs. It's a classic apartment with character, but you'll need to budget for potential energy improvements. The neighbourhood is well-regarded and has good amenities.
