A modern apartment in Overvecht
This is a modern apartment on Bisschop Tulpijndreef, in the Zamenhofdreef en omgeving neighbourhood of Utrecht. The building dates from 2021 and the home has an A++++ energy label, so it is very efficient.

For context, that average covers a range of apartments in Utrecht, so this one stands out for its value.
The neighbourhood
The Zamenhofdreef en omgeving neighbourhood has a mixed reputation, and the two reviews reflect that. 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 is more positive: "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." Based on two reviews, the picture is split. The area is well-connected, with a bus to the city centre in about ten minutes, and there is plenty of greenery, small parks and playgrounds.
Life on the street
For daily shopping, the AH XL is just around the corner, with a Lidl and a Hoogvliet. For schools, Trajectum College is a couple of streets away, and Pouwer College. Primary options include Basisschool Cleophas Jenaplan-School and Al Amana Zuilen. The neighbourhood is part of the municipality of Utrecht, which brings the city's amenities within reach.
