About Valeriusstraat 150-2, Amsterdam
The asking price of €1,250,000 is 40% below the neighbourhood average of €2,098,077, which makes it look keenly priced. However, the energy label G means higher running costs, and the apartment may need modernisation. The median price in the area is €1,572,500, so this is below that too. Given the size and location, it's a market-rate price for a buyer willing to invest in upgrades.
Valeriusbuurt-Oost is a quiet, family-friendly area with a village feel despite being in Amsterdam. One resident calls it 'very cosy and child-friendly' and 'fairly quiet.' The streets are leafy, and most homes are pre-war. It's popular with families and professionals who appreciate the proximity to the Vondelpark and the city centre.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short tram ride. The area is well served by trams and buses, so you can reach Amsterdam Centraal or other parts of the city easily.
There are several schools within walking distance. De Kleine Nicolaas primary school is 230 m away, and Het Amsterdams Lyceum secondary school is 269 m away. Other primary schools like 2e Daltonschool Pieter Bakkum and De Amsterdamse Montessori School are about 400 m away.
Albert Heijn is 313 m away, Jumbo is 405 m, and there's another Albert Heijn at 664 m. Ekoplaza for organic groceries is 674 m away. So daily shopping is very convenient.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high heating costs, especially in winter. The apartment likely has single glazing and poor insulation. Renovating to improve the label could be a significant investment but would reduce bills and increase comfort.
