About Bovenkerkerweg 121, Amstelveen
The asking price is €750,000 for 88 m² on a 465 m² plot. Compared to other detached homes in Amstelveen, this is on the high side per square metre, but the large plot and rural setting add value. Without specific market data for the Legmeerpolder, it is hard to say exactly how it compares, but the price reflects the scarcity of detached homes in this area.
The energy label is F, which is poor. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be high. You should expect to spend significantly on energy bills, especially in winter. The home was built in 1913, so it likely has single glazing and little to no insulation. Renovations could improve the label.
The nearest train station is 10.1 km away, so you will need a car or bus to reach it. The area is not well connected by rail, making it more suitable for those who drive.
The closest primary school is Interconfessionele Basisschool de Vuurvogel, about 900 metres away. Jenaplanschool 't Startnest is 1.1 km away. For secondary education, PSU is 1.5 km and Alkwin Kollege is 1.7 km away. All are within walking or cycling distance.
The Legmeerpolder recorded 46 crimes in the latest data, which is low given the small population. The area is very quiet and rural, so it feels safe. Most residents own their homes, which often correlates with lower crime rates.
The plot is 465 m², which is large for a detached home. While the listing does not specify a garden, the size suggests plenty of outdoor space. You can expect a private garden around the house, typical for a detached property in this area.
