About Tobias Asserlaan 171, Diemen
The asking price of €335,000 is 21% below the average asking price in Ruimzicht West (€423,600) and is the lowest among the five apartments currently for sale in the neighbourhood. Given that the floor area (61 m²) is smaller than the neighbourhood average of 92 m², the price per m² works out to about €5,492, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,748 per m². So it's keen overall, but the smaller size means you're paying a bit more per square metre.
The nearest train station is 1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That gives you direct access to Amsterdam and other cities. The area is well connected for a suburban neighbourhood.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1974). It means the home is reasonably energy-efficient, but not top-tier. You can expect moderate heating costs, but no extreme bills. The neighbourhood has no homes with labels A or B, so C is typical for the area.
For daily groceries, Vomar is 342 m away (just around the corner) and AH XL is 394 m (a five-minute walk). There's also a Jumbo about 1 km away. For dining, the nearest restaurant is 0.5 km. A GP practice is 0.7 km, and a library is 0.6 km. So most essentials are within walking distance.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Openbare Basisschool De Octopus (319 m), St. Petrusschool (516 m), and Jenaplanschool De Nieuwe Kring (918 m). Secondary schools are further away, at 2.9 km. The neighbourhood has a fair number of families with children, so schools are well used.
The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 150, which for a densely populated urban area (2,556 addresses per km²) is moderate. The area feels quiet and residential, with a park nearby. No specific crime hotspots are mentioned in the data.
Sold homes in Ruimzicht West took an average of 47 days to sell, which is a reasonable period, not extremely fast, but not slow either. The current apartment is priced keenly, so it may attract interest quickly, but there's no guarantee.
