About Vechtstraat 179-2, Amsterdam
The asking price is 18% above the average for homes currently for sale in Rijnbuurt-Oost (€673,625). However, this apartment is also 43% larger than the average (99 m² vs 69 m²), so the price per m² (€8,030) is actually below the neighbourhood average of €9,916 per m². Whether it's fair depends on how you value the extra space and the energy label E.
The energy label is E. In a neighbourhood where most homes have better labels (22% A, 15% B, 44% C), this is a relatively inefficient rating. You can expect higher gas and electricity bills compared to a home with a label A or B. The home was built in 1934, so it likely has single glazing and less insulation.
Very convenient. There are three supermarkets within a five-minute walk: Albert Heijn (248 m), Vomar (284 m), and Aldi (335 m). For a wider selection, you can walk to another Albert Heijn or an AH to go in about ten minutes.
Several primary schools are within walking distance: IBS Elif Amsterdam and Daltonbasisschool De Rivieren are both about 450 m away (a five-minute walk). The 15e montessorischool van Maas en Waal is about 600 m away. For secondary education, the nearest school is just 300 m away.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk or a short cycle. The area is very well connected by tram and bus as well.
