Such a beautiful neighbourhood and it keeps getting more beautiful, especially with the improvements to the Jutfaseweg.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the moment the neighbourhood is not very safe. Drugs are traded on the car park, laughing gas is also used, cartridges lie on the car park. Then the rubbish bins... are emptied poorly, everyone dumps bulky waste next to them... So yes, the neighbourhood is going downhill fast! Enforcement is hard to find, as is the police.

About Giessenplein 24, Utrecht
The asking price of €450,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €470,630 and the median of €476,000. Given the 70 m² floor area, that works out to about €6,429 per m², which is in line with the neighbourhood average of €6,455 per m². So the price is competitive without being a bargain.
The apartment has energy label B, which means it's reasonably energy-efficient. You can expect moderate heating costs, but it's not as efficient as an A-label home. In the neighbourhood, about 27% of homes have label A, 10% have label B, and 27% have label C.
Residents have mixed views. One review mentions drug trading and litter as issues, while another praises the neighbourhood's improvements. The total number of crimes reported in the area is 358, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. It's a very urban area, so some nuisances are common.
The nearest train station is 1.3 km away, which is about a 15-minute walk. The high address density suggests good public transport connections.
Yes, a park or public garden is just 0.3 km away, so you can reach it in a few minutes on foot. One resident mentioned missing green spaces, but there is at least one park close by.
Several primary schools are within a five-minute walk, including Openbare Basisschool De Hoge Raven (478 m) and Da Costa Basisschool Hoograven (515 m). Secondary education is about 0.8 km away, so a ten-minute walk. There are also special education options nearby.
