Frequently asked questions
About Veeteeltstraat 23, Amsterdam
Is €685,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €685,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €640,938 and well above the median of €475,000. However, this apartment is larger than average (94 m² vs 82 m²) and has a good energy label C. Recently sold homes in Betondorp went for an average of €576,600, so the price is on the high side but reflects the size and condition.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C, which is reasonably efficient for a home built in 1924. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as modern homes. Most homes in Betondorp have label C (40%) or lower (53% have D or below), so this is typical for the area.
How is the neighbourhood for daily shopping?
Betondorp has very few shops for daily groceries. There is a good bakery (De Lekkernij) and a cheese seller on Thursday mornings, but for a supermarket you need to walk about ten minutes to Vomar, Jumbo or AH XL. Residents note this as a drawback, but the village atmosphere and greenery make up for it.
What public transport options are available?
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle. The neighbourhood is very urban (address density 2606 per km²), so you'll find plenty of options nearby.
Is Betondorp a safe neighbourhood?
The neighbourhood recorded 97 total crimes, which is moderate for an urban area. Residents mention that everyone is warned if something unusual happens, and there are efforts to improve safety with fencing and lighting. One resident advises: 'never just open the door' and to call someone who can be with you quickly. Overall, it's considered a safe, close-knit community.
Are there schools nearby for children?
Yes, there are several primary schools within a ten-minute walk, including Openbare Basisschool De Octopus (762 m) and Oecumenische Basisschool De Ark (1 km). For secondary education, College De Meer is about 1.2 km away. However, residents note that there is no school within Betondorp itself for older children.
What is the parking situation like?
You would need to check with the municipality for specific arrangements.
