About Sumatrastraat 41B, Amsterdam
The asking price is 50% above the neighbourhood average of €462,061 and the highest of the 33 homes currently for sale in Timorpleinbuurt-Zuid. However, the floor area of 80 m² is 51% larger than the local average of 53 m², so you are paying for extra space. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value that size in this location.
Energy label B is efficient, it means the home is well insulated and should have moderate energy bills. In the neighbourhood, only 15% of homes have a label B or better, so this is a relatively efficient property for the area.
Timorpleinbuurt-Zuid has 485 households with children out of a total of 2,650 households, so families are a minority. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Bataviaschool (156 m) and De Indische Buurt School (260 m). The area is very urban and busy, which some families enjoy and others find less suitable.
The nearest train station is 0.7 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to reach other parts of Amsterdam or further afield.
