Startbaanbuurt, Amstelveen
NeighbourhoodThis 128 m² apartment on Wimbledonpark sits in the leafy Startbaanbuurt, a neighbourhood that feels more like a village than a suburb. Built in 2001 and with an A energy label, it is both modern and efficient. At €700,000, the asking price is 18% above the neighbourhood average of €594,000, which puts it on the high side, but the size and quality are exceptional. For context, apartments in Amstelveen vary widely, and this one stands out.
The neighbourhood Startbaanbuurt is a small, residential area with just over a thousand residents. It is a mix of ages, with a notable share of over-65s (330) and a fair number of families with children (120). The only review available calls it "Mediocre neighbourhood, mediocre district, mediocre facilities", a single voice that scores it 4.88 out of 5, which suggests the reviewer had mixed feelings. Still, the area is very green, with a park just a couple of streets away, and the urban density is high (2335 addresses per km²), so you have plenty of neighbours.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Coop is a five-minute walk. Two secondary schools are within walking distance: Amstelveen College and Hermann Wesselink College. For primary education, Openbare Basisschool de Westwijzer is about a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amstelveen is well served by public transport, though the nearest train station is 7.5 km away, so you will rely on buses or a car for longer journeys.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Karen Lehman Makelaardij and also appears on Pararius, so it is available through several channels.
