A compact studio in the Populierenbuurt
This studio on Populierenlaan 473 sits in the Populierenbuurt, a quiet residential corner of Amstelveen where the streets are lined with mature poplars and the pace of life feels unhurried. The home is a 1962 build with an energy label E, and at 40 square metres it is a compact, self-contained space. The asking price of €300,000 is in line with the market, according to the precomputed comparison with the neighbourhood average. For context, the average asking price for a home in this neighbourhood is €564,868, and the average living area is 101 square metres, so this studio is considerably smaller and more affordable. If you are looking at studios in Amstelveen, this one stands out for its price point.
The home itself
The listing gives no details about the layout, outdoor space, or installations, so the description is limited to what is known: a studio of 40 square metres, built in 1962, with an energy label E. The price per square metre works out at €7,500 based on the BAG registration, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €5,465 per square metre. The energy label E suggests that heating costs will be on the higher side, as it is not an efficient label. The year of construction is a fact, but no conclusions about the condition of the home can be drawn from it.
