Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the 27th floor of the Hollandse Toren puts you right in the thick of Utrecht's centre, yet the height means the noise stays below. At 66 m² it's compact, but the A+ energy label keeps running costs low. The asking price of €499,000 is 42% below the neighbourhood average of €858,850, which is keen given the location and modern build. For context, the supply of apartments in Utrecht varies widely, but this one stands out for its efficiency and price.
This is the beating heart of Utrecht, literally on top of the station and shopping centre. One resident says: "In terms of amenities it's wonderful to live in the centre, but it's also very busy and not accessible by car. Public transport is excellent." They also note the lack of green space, though the complex has a nice courtyard. The area is densely urban with over 5,200 addresses per km², and most homes are apartments built after 2010. It's a young crowd: two-thirds of residents are between 25 and 45. For more context, see the Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs neighbourhood.
Your daily bread is an AH to go just 79 metres away, on your doorstep. For a bigger shop, Jumbo is a couple of streets away, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. For school runs, Montessori Kind Centrum LEF is just around the corner, and KBS De Pijlstaart is a five-minute walk. The central station is a ten-minute walk, and the train station is 1.4 km away. The municipality of Utrecht keeps the city centre lively, as you'd expect from the municipality of Utrecht.
At present the home is listed via Waltmann Makelaars & Bedrijfshuisvesting Utrecht and also appears on Huispedia, so it's available through several channels.

In terms of amenities it's wonderful to live in the centre, but it's also very busy and not accessible by car. Public transport is excellent. I never feel comfortable walking alone late at night because of all the homeless people and creepy individuals. There should be much more green space in the centre for my liking. It could be so much better. We do have a very nice green courtyard at the apartment complex.

About Hollandse Toren 27, Utrecht
The asking price is 42% below the neighbourhood average of €858,850, but the apartment is also 38% smaller than the average (66 m² vs 106 m²). Given the central location, modern build (2012), and A+ energy label, the price is keen compared to other apartments in Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs.
The resident review mentions feeling uncomfortable walking alone late at night due to homeless people and 'creepy individuals'. The total number of crimes in the neighbourhood is 3,223, which is high for a small area. However, the apartment is high up, so street-level issues are less noticeable.
Public transport is excellent, as the resident notes. The train station is 1.4 km away (a ten-minute walk), and the area is directly above Utrecht Centraal, so trains, buses, and trams are all within easy reach.
The resident mentions a 'very nice green courtyard at the apartment complex', so there is shared outdoor space. The apartment itself does not have a private garden or balcony according to the listing.
The energy label is A+, which is very efficient. This means heating and electricity costs are likely to be low, and the home is well-insulated. The neighbourhood has 46.7% of homes with label A or A+, so this is in line with the area.
The floor area is 66 m², which typically accommodates one or two bedrooms, but the exact layout is not provided.
For an apartment in a complex with a courtyard and high-rise building, there will likely be a monthly VvE contribution, but the amount is not stated.
