Frequently asked questions
About Da Costalaan 3, Amstelveen
Is €987,000 a fair price for this house?
The asking price of €987,000 is well below the neighbourhood average of €1,395,000 and the average sold price of €1,341,429. However, the house has an energy label F, while all other current listings in the area have label C. The lower price likely reflects the need for energy improvements. Given the size and location, it could be a good value if you factor in renovation costs.
What does energy label F mean for this home?
Energy label F indicates poor energy efficiency. The home likely has single glazing, poor insulation, and an inefficient heating system. This means higher monthly energy bills compared to a more efficient home. In this neighbourhood, all other homes currently for sale have label C, so this house stands out as needing significant upgrades to improve comfort and reduce costs.
How does the price per square metre compare?
At €987,000 for 125 m², the price per m² is about €7,896. The neighbourhood average for sold homes is €8,765 per m², and the current listings average €9,118 per m². So this home is priced below the market average per square metre, which again reflects the poor energy label and possibly the need for modernisation.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
Patrimonium has 375 households with children, and 72% of homes are single-family, so it's a family-friendly area. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Openbare Basisschool Piet Hein (10 minutes) and Brede School Rembrandt (a bit further). Secondary education is also nearby with Keizer Karel College. The area is quiet and green, with parks just around the corner.
How far is the train station?
The nearest train station is 5.5 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bike, bus, or car to reach it.
What is the crime rate like in Patrimonium?
In the most recent data, there were 110 total crimes reported in the neighbourhood. That's a moderate figure for a suburban area. The neighbourhood feels safe, with a mix of older residents and families, and the streets are quiet.
How old is this house and what condition is it in?
The house was built in 1939, so it's over 80 years old. With an energy label F, it likely retains many original features but also has outdated insulation and heating. The asking price suggests it needs modernisation. You should budget for upgrades to bring it up to current standards.
