About Van Gentstraat 33-2, Amsterdam
The asking price is €395,000, which is 32% below the neighbourhood average of €578,409. However, the flat is also 26% smaller than the average home in the area (46 m² vs 62 m²). Given the compact size and energy label E, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a smaller flat in this part of Amsterdam.
The Gibraltarbuurt is very densely built-up, with a young population and many single-person households. Resident reviews are mixed: one mentions issues with loitering youths involved in drugs, while another gives a low score without specifics. It's a lively urban area, but not without its challenges.
A Lidl and an Albert Heijn are both about 373 metres away, just a few minutes' walk. Another Albert Heijn is 378 metres away, so daily groceries are very convenient.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: IKC de Boomgaard (102 m), De Zijderoute (225 m), and OBS Multatuli (262 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is about 1.7 km away.
The energy label is E, which is below average for homes in the area (47% of homes have label D or lower). This means you can expect higher energy costs, especially for heating. The flat was built in 1936, so insulation may be limited.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, so it's not within walking distance for most people. You'd likely need a bike or bus to reach it.
The nearest park or public garden is about 0.8 km away, a ten-minute walk. It's a decent option for a stroll or some fresh air.
