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 Pruimenlaan 42, Amstelveen
The asking price of €435,000 matches the neighbourhood median exactly, so it's in line with what similar homes have sold for recently. The average price per square metre in the Populierenbuurt is €5,202, and this apartment works out to about €5,438 per m², which is slightly above average but still reasonable given the size and location.
The apartment has energy label C, which is average for a home from 1960. It means the property is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy bills, though exact costs depend on usage. In the neighbourhood, 43% of homes have label C, and another 43% have a lower label, so this one is typical.
The nearest train station is 6.8 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bus, bike or car to reach it.
