For which buyers is Vondelkwartier a good choice?

Vondelkwartier mainly attracts families and movers looking for space without the hustle and bustle of the city centre. With an average purchase price of nearly €570,000, it is not a starter neighbourhood, although at the lower end of the range homes are available from €450,000. Keep in mind additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-starters) and notary fees. Due to limited supply, quick action is important. Those who prefer to rent first or want to remain flexible can also look at rental homes in Vondelkwartier. For buyers seeking a quieter living environment than the Haarlemmerhoutkwartier or the Zijlwegkwartier, Vondelkwartier is certainly worth considering.
