It's a nice quiet neighbourhood to live in. Here and there some green spaces and playgrounds for children. There's a large supermarket in the area with a shopping centre around it that also has a chemist etc. There are 2 schools in the area, one of which has a less strong reputation, which already limits the choice. The area is easily accessible by car and bike, although the Zuilense ring sometimes gets congested. The bus connection is less good; the 55 goes past the area and the 4 goes through the area. Unfortunately, the 4 is not a reliable bus and if it doesn't come, you can wait half an hour for the next one. Sometimes there is still some rubbish on the street, especially around De Gaard. The large waste containers there really look a mess and have a lot of rubbish lying next to them. My neighbours are friendly. The area is quiet yet still in the city; within 10 minutes by bike you're in the city centre and within a few minutes by car you're on the motorway.

About Cohenlaan 15, Utrecht
The asking price of €350,000 is 25% below the average asking price in Tuindorp-Oost (€469,550) and also below the median of €412,500. However, the apartment is smaller than average (62 m² vs 89 m²) and has an energy label D, which means higher energy costs. Given that similar homes in the area sell for around €506,000 on average, this price seems keen, but the lower square footage and older energy label explain the discount.
The apartment has energy label D. This is below the current average for homes in Tuindorp-Oost, where about 29% have label C and 37% have label D or lower. A D label means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity bills compared to a more modern property. It may be worth considering improvements like insulation or double glazing to reduce costs.
