Hooch Boulandt, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Hartingstraat 221 sits in a surprisingly peaceful corner of Utrecht's busy city centre. At 134 m², it's a generous size for an apartment, and with energy label A it's efficient too. The asking price of €749,000 is 34% above the neighbourhood average of €558,438, but you're getting 58% more floor space than the typical 85 m² in the area. For context, that's a premium that reflects the extra square metres rather than the market being overheated. See how this compares to other apartments in Utrecht.

I live on the Singel, which is quite busy with traffic, but the streets behind it (between the Singel and the railway) are actually very quiet and peaceful. This is also because there are few amenities in this part. However, you can easily reach all necessary shops on foot. Due to the few cafés in these streets, there is little sense of community. The quiet streets behind the house can sometimes be scary when you have to walk through them at night. Especially the stretch from the central station to home passes dark parks and offices that are empty in the evening. Living on the Singel, apart from the traffic, is very nice because you can (run) along the Singel in the greenery straight away. Hygiene is fine. The bins are not often too full.
