Rijnsweerd, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Albert van Dalsumlaan sits in a leafy corner of Utrecht, where the university campus and green surroundings set the tone. At €400,000 for 82 m², the price is in line with the market for apartments in Utrecht.
Rijnsweerd is a neighbourhood of contrasts: lots of greenery and a strong student presence, but few everyday amenities. One resident calls it "messy, noisy but very cosy and helpful," while another describes it as a "quiet family neighbourhood close to the city centre." A third sums it up: "loud, busy and cosy." The area has a young population, a third of residents are between 15 and 25, and many single-person households. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Rijnsweerd.
For groceries, the nearest PLUS is a couple of streets away, with a SPAR and Albert Heijn about a ten-minute walk. Daltonschool Rijnsweerd is just around the corner, and the Utrechtse Schoolvereniging is a five-minute walk. The park or public garden is on your doorstep, literally 0.1 km away. The municipality Utrecht offers plenty of cultural and leisure options, though you'll need to travel a bit for a library or train station.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Wij Makelaardij, Funda, Pararius, and Vastgoed Nederland.

It's nice to live in this neighbourhood because there is a very large student complex. It can be a bit noisy at times and the rubbish is not put away neatly. Furthermore, in spring we have a huge problem with the seagulls that live on our roofs. There are also hardly any facilities in the area in terms of shops. But it is easily accessible and close to the university. Also, it's super cosy to live with so many students and having a lot of nature in the surroundings is a luxury too.
Auto-translated to English by AIReally a nice neighbourhood, but no amenities such as supermarket, pharmacy, GP, chemist, café, etc.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is often dirty. We have too few containers for the number of students living here, which means there is often rubbish on the square. Furthermore, there are regular parties and drunk students at night, earplugs are recommended. There is also no cheap supermarket in the area, and as a student that is very annoying. But it is a very cosy neighbourhood and a very nice experience in my life. Super cosy. Lots of greenery and the surroundings are super quiet because hardly anyone lives in Rijnsweerd.

About Albert van Dalsumlaan 459, Utrecht
At 82 m² and with energy label C, the asking price of €400,000 is in line with the market for apartments in Utrecht. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of owner-occupied homes (79%), which supports stable values. Without comparable sales data for Rijnsweerd specifically, the price appears reasonable for a property of this size and age.
Rijnsweerd has a large student complex, so it can be noisy at times, especially at night and during parties. Residents mention that rubbish is sometimes not put away neatly, and seagulls can be a problem in spring. On the plus side, it's very cosy, close to the university, and surrounded by greenery. Shops are limited, so you'll need to walk about ten minutes for a supermarket.
Yes, there are several schools within walking distance. Daltonschool Rijnsweerd is just around the corner (about 200 m), and the Utrechtse Schoolvereniging is a five-minute walk (700 m). For secondary education, St. Bonifatiuscollege is about 1.2 km away. The area also has a child daycare centre at 0.6 km.
The nearest train station is 3.2 km away, which is about a 40-minute walk or a short bus ride. The neighbourhood is well connected by bus to Utrecht city centre and the university.
The apartment has energy label C, which is average for a home built in 1979. You can expect moderate energy costs, not as low as a modern A-label home, but not excessively high either. The exact consumption will depend on your usage and the heating system.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The apartment is 82 m², but outdoor space is not stated. The neighbourhood has plenty of greenery and a park just 0.1 km away, so you're close to nature even without private outdoor space.
With 82 m², it could have two or three bedrooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent. The property type is an apartment, so layout may vary.
