About Vondelstraat 184-2, Amsterdam
The asking price of €500,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €1,550,000, but that average is for much larger homes (121 m² on average). This apartment is 50 m², so the price per m² is €10,000, which is above the neighbourhood average of €7,851 per m². The energy label G also means higher energy costs, which may affect the value.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high heating and electricity bills. In the neighbourhood, all other homes for sale have label A, so this apartment stands out as less efficient. The listing does not mention any insulation or double glazing, so you should factor in potential upgrade costs.
Homes in Vondelparkbuurt-Midden sell quickly, with an average time on the market of 17 days. This suggests strong demand. However, this apartment has an energy label G and is smaller than average, which might make it less appealing to some buyers, so it could take longer to sell.
The neighbourhood is very urban with a high address density. The Vondelpark is just a couple of streets away, and there are many restaurants and shops within walking distance. The nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn about 436 metres away, and there are several primary and secondary schools nearby. The train station is 3.1 km away, so you would rely on trams or bikes for longer journeys.
The listing does not state the number of rooms. With 50 m², it is likely a one-bedroom or a compact two-bedroom, but the exact layout is not provided. You would need to check the floor plan or visit to see the room division.
The listing does not mention any garden, balcony, or outdoor space. Given that it is an apartment on the second floor (as indicated by the address suffix -2), it is unlikely to have a private garden. The Vondelpark is nearby for outdoor recreation.
The apartment was built in 1881, which is typical for this neighbourhood (100% of homes were built before 1945). Older buildings often have high ceilings and character, but may also require more maintenance. The energy label G is consistent with a building of this age, as modern insulation is often lacking.
