Zamenhofdreef en omgeving, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Androsdreef 36 sits in Overvecht, a neighbourhood that's more than its reputation. At €295,000 for 100 m², the price is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €341,444, and it's one of the more affordable apartments in Utrecht. The energy label E means heating costs will be higher than in better-rated homes.
The Zamenhofdreef en omgeving neighbourhood has a mixed reputation, but residents see both sides. One resident says: "Overvecht is dirty, messy, noisy; sometimes it looks like a motorsport field with how they race at night. Rats run across you, it stinks outside, and there are many loitering youths, so safety is not great." Another counters: "This neighbourhood has a bit of a reputation as the unsafe neighbourhood of Utrecht, together with Kanaleneiland. But that's not too bad. There are many families with children and elderly people, which makes it a lot quieter." Based on two reviews, the picture is divided. The area is densely built with mostly flats, and a quarter of homes are owner-occupied.
For daily shopping, Hoogvliet is just around the corner, and AH XL and Lidl are a couple of streets away. Primary school basisschool Joannes XXIII is a five-minute walk, and secondary schools like Ithaka and Pouwer College are within a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood has plenty of greenery, small parks and a football field, all within walking distance. The municipality of Utrecht is well connected by bus to the city centre.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via LEF Makelaars & Taxateurs.

Auto-translated to English by AIThis neighbourhood has a bit of a reputation as the unsafe neighbourhood of Utrecht, together with Kanaleneiland. But that's not too bad. There are many families with children and elderly people, which makes it a lot quieter. The shopping centre has all the necessary shops together and is within walking distance. Additionally, this neighbourhood is well-connected: you can be in the city centre in 10 minutes by bus, and you can quickly get onto the motorway by car. This neighbourhood also has a lot of greenery, small parks, benches, a football field, playgrounds, etc. So this neighbourhood has many positive aspects. But, of course, there are also some negative aspects, such as cars driving too fast, which sometimes creates very dangerous situations, and the number of loitering youths who are often outside until late in the evening.
