About Bellamystraat 26BS, Utrecht
The asking price is 61% above the average asking price in Vogelenbuurt (€600,636) and also above the maximum asking price of €850,000 for other homes currently for sale. However, this apartment is larger than average (109 m² vs 92 m²) and has a good energy label C. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and central location.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. It means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs, though exact amounts depend on usage. In the neighbourhood, 29.2% of homes have label C, while 37.5% have D or lower.
The nearest train station is 2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. Utrecht Centraal is the main station, but the listing doesn't specify which station this distance refers to.
Vogelenbuurt is a very urban area with a high density of addresses (6,533 per km²). It's popular with young adults and singles, and most homes are pre-war. There are plenty of shops, restaurants, and schools within walking distance. The area has a lively, city-centre feel.
With 109 m², it likely has at least two or three, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
