Sarphatipark 14-1

The asking price is 162% above the average asking price in the Sarphatiparkbuurt (€715,150). However, this apartment is 184 m², while the neighbourhood average is 66 m². Per square metre, the price is about €10,185, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €10,754 per m². So the price reflects the size, not an inflated per-metre rate.

The energy label is D. In the neighbourhood, 14.9% of homes have a label D or lower, while 21.3% have label A. Label D means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home. The listing does not mention insulation or double glazing, so you should expect some draughts in winter.

The Sarphatiparkbuurt is very lively, with the park just a couple of streets away. There are several supermarkets within a five-minute walk, including Jumbo, Coop, Dirk and Albert Heijn.
