A modern apartment in Utrecht's Watervogelbuurt
This 66 m² apartment on Gansstraat 12B sits in a quiet pocket of Utrecht Oost, built in 2013 with energy label A. The last known asking price of €450,000 was in line with the neighbourhood median, and the supply of apartments in Utrecht was limited, so it was a fair deal for a well-insulated home. This home has not been online since 13 August 2026.

It's a very urban area with 5,028 addresses per km², so expect a lively street scene.
