About Sportlaan 56, Amstelveen
The asking price of €400,000 is 17% below the neighbourhood average of €484,000, and also below the median of €435,000. Given the 80 m² floor area, that works out to €5,000 per m², while the neighbourhood average is €5,202 per m². So it's priced keenly compared to other homes currently for sale in Populierenbuurt.
The apartment has energy label D. That's fairly typical for a 1960s building, most homes in the neighbourhood (42.9%) have label D or lower, and another 42.9% have label C. Label D means moderate energy efficiency, so heating and electricity costs will be noticeable but not extreme.
Resident reviews give mixed signals. One says safety is fine but warns about Middenhoven, another mentions children causing trouble. The neighbourhood recorded 136 total crimes, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. It's best to visit at different times to get your own feel.
The nearest train station is 6.8 km away, so it's not within walking distance. However, Amstelveen has good tram and bus connections, you'd likely rely on those for commuting to Amsterdam or Schiphol.
Sold homes in Populierenbuurt took an average of 76 days to sell, which is a couple of months. That suggests a balanced market, not too fast, not too slow.
Secondary school Amstelveen College is just around the corner (390 m), and primary school Het Palet is about a ten-minute walk (900 m). There are also several other schools within a kilometre, so options for different ages are close by.
