I live near the Lelylaan. There is a small shopping area. Public transport is good: trams, buses, metro, train, excellent. It is messy, dirty, the paving stones are pushed up by the tree roots. It is run-down, there is greenery but according to the tree expert the trees are diseased. Sloterplas is within walking distance. There are a few schools in the neighbourhood. There are a few amenities.
Auto-translated to English by AII moved here in 2022 but I don't think it's a proper neighbourhood because of bulky waste disposal with rats, front gardens that are not well maintained, paving stones that are uneven and not neatly aligned; I fell earlier this year. No, not a nice neighbourhood. The neighbourhood is easily accessible by public transport, car and bike; the nearest shopping area is Sierplein.

About Nicolaas Japiksestraat 117, Amsterdam
Recent sales in the Emanuel van Meterenbuurt averaged around €767,000, so this asking price is significantly higher. However, this home has 133 m² of floor space and an energy label A, which may justify a premium. There are no other comparable homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood, so it's hard to say exactly how the market will value it.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. That means you can expect relatively low heating costs compared to older homes with lower labels. The home was built in 1956 but has been upgraded to modern standards.
