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 47, Utrecht
The asking price is 22% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€858,850). However, this is a large apartment in a modern high-rise with an A energy label, which commands a premium. The median price in the area is €610,000, so this is clearly at the top end of the market.
The energy label is A, which means the home is very energy-efficient. You can expect low heating costs and a good insulation standard. In the neighbourhood, 93.4% of homes have label A or better, so this is in line with the local stock.
One resident mentions feeling uncomfortable walking alone late at night due to homeless people and 'creepy individuals'. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 3,223, which is high for a small area. However, the apartment is high up, so you hardly notice street-level issues.

The train station is 1.4 km away, about a 15-minute walk. Public transport is described as excellent by a resident.
