The asking price is about double the neighbourhood average of €548,291, but this home is also 190% larger than the typical 112 m² in Middelland. The price per square metre works out at roughly €3,369, which is below the neighbourhood average of €5,124 per m². So while the total is high, you're getting exceptional space for the money.

Middelland is a very urban area with a high density of addresses. Residents describe it as cosy, safe and diverse, with lots of green spaces and facilities. There's a real community feel, with a neighbourhood newspaper and regular events at the wijkpaleis. The streets are cleaned daily, and the mix of people means there's something for everyone.

The home is well served by public transport: four different trams, two bus lines and a metro are all within a five-minute walk, according to a resident. The nearest train station is 1.9 km away.

The home has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient but not top-tier. In the neighbourhood, about 30% of homes have label A and 10% have A+, so this is a middle-of-the-road rating. You can expect moderate energy costs, but no exact amounts are available.

Yes, several schools are within walking distance. The nearest primary school, KC Het Oude Westen, is about 244 m away, and the Mariaschool Schietbaanlaan is 316 m. For secondary education, Het Praktijkcollege Centrum is just 184 m from the door. There are also many other schools within a 5 km radius.

You have several options within a few minutes' walk: an Aldi at 286 m, a Dirk at 317 m, and a SPAR express, Ekoplaza and Albert Heijn all within about 450 m. That covers daily shopping well.

One resident says the neighbourhood feels "very safe and comfortable". The total number of crimes recorded in the area is 1,214, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. The streets are cleaned daily and there's a strong community spirit, which contributes to a sense of safety.
