About Rapenburgerstraat 167F, Amsterdam
The asking price of €560,000 is the lowest among the three apartments currently for sale in Valkenburg. It's 31% below the neighbourhood's average asking price of €806,667, which makes it a relatively affordable option. However, the energy label F and the 1905 construction year mean you may face higher energy costs and potential renovation needs. The price per m² works out to €8,000, compared to the neighbourhood average of €8,593 per m².
Energy label F indicates poor energy efficiency. In Valkenburg, 75% of homes for sale have label A, so this apartment is an outlier. You can expect higher heating and electricity bills compared to a more efficient home. The listing does not specify insulation or glazing, so it's worth investigating those aspects. The neighbourhood has 25% of homes with label D or lower, so you wouldn't be alone in having an older, less efficient home.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk. The neighbourhood has a very high address density (7,196 per km²), indicating excellent urban connectivity. The central location means many destinations in Amsterdam are easily reachable by bike or on foot.
Valkenburg has 100 households with children out of a total of 810 households, so it's not a family-dominated area. There are several primary schools within a short walk, such as De Witte Olifant (241 m) and Dr. E. Boekmanschool (547 m). The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with a notable number of residents aged 65+ (295) and 25-45 (405). Parks and playgrounds are within 300 m, so outdoor space is accessible.
Recently sold homes in Valkenburg had an average price of €1,054,563, with an average time on the market of 86 days. That's significantly higher than the asking price of this apartment. However, those sold homes may have been larger or in better condition. The current listing is priced at the median of available homes (€560,000), so it's in line with what's on offer now.
Albert Heijn is just 176 m away for daily groceries, and Ekoplaza (306 m) offers organic options. There are also several other supermarkets within 500 m. Restaurants are very close (200 m), and a park or garden is 300 m away. For healthcare, the nearest GP is 0.7 km. The neighbourhood is well-served for everyday needs.
