About Valeriusstraat 255-2, Amsterdam
The asking price of €1,400,000 is close to the neighbourhood average of €1,502,190 and above the median of €1,119,500. Given that the apartment is 38% larger than the average home in the area (161 m² vs 117 m²), the price per square metre (€8,696) is actually below the neighbourhood average of €12,953 per m². So it appears priced for its size.
The home has an energy label B, which is good for a pre-war building. In the neighbourhood, 42.3% of homes have label A and 23.1% have label B, so this is above average. Label B means the home is reasonably energy-efficient, with moderate heating costs expected.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride. This gives access to the national rail network, but the neighbourhood is also well served by trams and buses.
Valeriusbuurt-West has a mix of households: 390 households with children and 540 single-person households. The area has several primary and secondary schools within walking distance, and there are parks and playgrounds nearby. It is a quiet, safe neighbourhood with a strong community feel.
In the past year, homes in the neighbourhood sold after an average of 28 days on the market. This suggests a fairly active market, but not excessively fast. The apartment's size and location may attract interest, but there is no indication of a bidding war.

The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The apartment is in a pre-war building, so it is likely to have no private outdoor space, but the Vondelpark is just a five-minute walk away.
