About Startbaan 488, Amstelveen
The rent is 27% above the neighbourhood average of €2,165, but this is a new-build (2024) with an A+++ energy label, which commands a premium. Comparable apartments in Amstelveen average €27.20 per m², while this one works out at €39.86 per m², significantly higher. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value modern efficiency and low energy bills.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. You won't need to worry about high bills or draughts, and the home is future-proofed against rising energy prices.
The nearest train station is 7.5 km away, so this is not a home for daily commuters relying on rail. However, the area is well served by bus routes and the tram network, and Amsterdam Zuid is a short cycle or bus ride away.
Startbaanbuurt is a quiet, green neighbourhood with a mix of ages, many older residents but also young professionals. It's densely built but feels spacious thanks to nearby parks. One resident calls it "mediocre", but that seems to reflect a lack of standout features rather than any real downside.
