About Westhove 129, Amstelveen
The asking price of €825,000 is well above the neighbourhood average of €380,000, but this home is also much larger than typical Kastelenbuurt houses (137 m² vs 55 m²). Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €940,000, so the price is in line with what larger, modern homes achieve here.
The home has an A+++ energy label, which is the highest possible rating. That means it is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. In the Kastelenbuurt, all homes have either label A or A+, so this one is at the top end of an already efficient neighbourhood.
The Kastelenbuurt is very family-oriented. About 60% of households have children, and the streets are quiet and safe. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and a park is just a couple of streets away. The average household size is 2.8, reflecting the many families living here.
The nearest train station is 10.1 km away, so this is not a location for daily train commuting. Most residents rely on cars or buses for longer journeys.
Given that it is a terraced house from 2012, you can expect a private outdoor space, but exact details are not provided.
