Very good · 2 residents
It's a friendly neighbourhood. The neighbours are nice, we help each other and if something happens, everyone knows about it, so it's a very pleasant neighbourhood except for the children of today who shout and swear and open your parcels. But otherwise it's a nice neighbourhood. But when it comes to rubbish, it's really bad, the council does little to keep the waste tidy. They need to clear the rubbish more often.

About Zonnestein 73, Amstelveen
The asking price of €400,000 is 49% below the average asking price in Elsrijk Oost, which is €782,590.

The energy label is E, which is below average for the neighbourhood. In Elsrijk Oost, about 31% of homes have label A or better, while 33% have label D or lower. An E label means you can expect higher heating and electricity bills, so it's worth factoring that into your budget.
