About Amsterdamsestraatweg 552, Utrecht
The asking price of €425,000 is slightly below the neighbourhood median of €435,000 and well under the average of €477,718. Given the 81 m² floor area, that works out to about €5,247 per m², which is below the neighbourhood average of €6,237 per m². So it's priced keenly for the area.
The home has energy label D. That's a middling score, not the most efficient, but not the worst either. In the neighbourhood, over half of homes have label D or lower, so it's fairly typical. You can expect moderate energy costs, but improvements like better insulation could bring the label up.
The nearest train station is 1.8 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle ride. That's a reasonable distance for commuting to Utrecht Centraal or other destinations.
The neighbourhood recorded 256 total crimes in the latest data. That's a number you'd expect in a dense urban area. It's always wise to check local crime maps for specifics, but the area is generally considered lively and well-populated.
Currently there are 31 apartments for sale in the neighbourhood, with prices ranging from €165,000 to €995,000. The market is active, 76 homes were sold recently, with an average selling time of 50 days. So there is choice, but good properties move reasonably quickly.
The apartment was built in 1920, so it's over a century old. In the neighbourhood, 93.3% of homes were built before 1945, so this is typical. Older homes often have solid construction but may need updates to plumbing, electrics or insulation. The energy label D suggests some modernisation has been done, but it's worth checking the condition of the roof, windows and heating system.
