About Tobias Asserlaan 126, Diemen
The asking price of €349,500 is 17% below the average asking price in Ruimzicht West (€423,600), but the apartment is also smaller than average (65 m² vs 92 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €5,377, which is above the neighbourhood average of €4,748 per m². So while the total price is lower, you're paying a premium per square metre for the compact size.
The apartment has energy label C. This is a decent rating for a home built in 1974, it means the property is reasonably well insulated and you can expect moderate energy bills. It's not as efficient as a modern A-label home, but it's far from the worst. The neighbourhood has no A or B labels, so this is a solid middle ground.
The nearest train station is 1.0 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting to Amsterdam or other cities straightforward. The station is within easy reach, and the walk is pleasant through the quiet streets of Ruimzicht West.
