Populierenbuurt, Amstelveen

The asking price of €299,000 is 38% below the average asking price in the Populierenbuurt (€484,000). However, this studio is also smaller than the neighbourhood average (40 m² vs 93 m²). The price per m² works out to about €7,475, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €5,202 per m², so you're paying a premium for the compact size.
The home has energy label E, which is an official registration from EP-Online. Label E is on the lower end of the scale, so you can expect higher energy costs compared to more efficient homes. The label does not tell you exactly what needs improvement, it could be the heating system or other factors.
Resident reviews give mixed feedback on safety. One resident says "the safety is fine" but warns about certain areas. Another mentions "many children causing trouble" and threats. The neighbourhood recorded 136 total crimes in the latest data, but without a breakdown it's hard to compare. It's best to visit the area yourself to get a feel for it.
The nearest supermarket, Coop, is just 358 metres away, a couple of streets' walk. Ekoplaza and Albert Heijn are within 600,750 metres. For dining, a restaurant is 300 metres away. A GP and a park are both 400 metres away. Primary and secondary schools are within 0.6,1 km. The train station is 6.8 km away, so you'd rely on bus or bike for longer journeys.
This studio is significantly smaller than the average home in Populierenbuurt (40 m² vs 93 m²) and priced lower in absolute terms. However, the price per m² is higher. Most homes in the neighbourhood were built between 1945 and 1970 (89%), and this studio from 1960 fits that pattern. Energy labels in the area are mostly C or lower.
The neighbourhood has a mix of households: 540 with children and 420 without, plus 890 single-person households. Schools are within walking distance, and there are parks nearby. However, some residents mention issues with children causing trouble, so it's worth considering the reviews.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
Every day people are threatened with nasty things but otherwise, good shops etc. The safety is fine but as soon as you enter Middenhoven you have to watch out for people.

How residents experience their district
It's very quiet here, sometimes some nuisance from youngsters but generally fine. There are plenty of facilities such as snack bars, swimming pools, gyms and there's a nice shopping centre.

Auto-translated to English by AIA lot of nuisance from the caravan camp and the house is too remote to be able to walk safely in the dark. Public transport doesn't come there and there are often strange characters on the road to the woods. Creepy neighbourhood

Auto-translated to English by AISometimes everything is a bit far but the most important shops are nearby
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood has a supermarket, bakery, cheese shop, hairdresser, a gym and more nearby. The residents greet each other and are very friendly. I live next to a fairly busy street, so the green spaces could be better, but with a little effort, the Amsterdamse Bos is even within walking distance.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's quiet enough for children to run around the streets but close to facilities to look up for a fun activity
