NeighbourhoodThis 1931 apartment on Turnerstraat sits in the Marathonbuurt-West neighbourhood of Amsterdam, a stone's throw from the green of the Stadionbuurt.

About Turnerstraat 27D, Amsterdam
The asking price of €525,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €512,933 and the median of €495,000. However, with only 15 apartments currently for sale in Marathonbuurt-West, supply is tight. The average price per m² in the area is €8,957, so at €7,609 per m² this apartment is priced below that benchmark, which may reflect its E energy label.
Energy label E means the apartment is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 38.5% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a 1931 building. The listing does not mention insulation or double glazing, so those are details to check.
Marathonbuurt-West is very well served: a supermarket (Ekoplaza) is 145 m away, and several others within a few minutes' walk. Primary schools are on your doorstep, and secondary schools are within 500 m. The area has a high density of amenities, with restaurants and a park (0.4 km) nearby. The train station is 1.6 km away, so commuting by rail is a ten-minute walk.
In the most recent data, the neighbourhood recorded 116 total crimes. Given the population of 2,365, that works out to about 49 crimes per 1,000 residents, which is moderate for a dense urban area.
There are currently 15 apartments for sale in Marathonbuurt-West. In the past year, 46 homes were sold in the neighbourhood, with an average selling time of 34 days. That suggests a fairly active market, so homes don't stay on the market long.
The neighbourhood has a high proportion of single-person households (975 out of 1,525) and a relatively young population, with the largest age group being 25-45 (785 residents). Many residents are professionals working in Amsterdam. Families with children make up 290 households, so it's not a typical family area, but the nearby schools and parks make it suitable.
