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 Hoola van Nootenstraat 257, Utrecht
The asking price of €500,000 is 42% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€858,850) and also below the median of €610,000. However, the apartment is smaller than average (57 m² vs 106 m²). Given the new-build status, A+ energy label, and central location, the price is keen compared to other homes in the area.
The apartment has an energy label A+, which is the highest rating. This means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect low heating and electricity costs. In the neighbourhood, 46.7% of homes have label A or A+, so this is in line with the best-performing properties.
The resident review mentions feeling uncomfortable walking alone late at night due to homeless people and 'creepy individuals'. The total number of crimes reported in the neighbourhood is 3,223, which is high, but this is a very central urban area. The apartment being high up may offer a sense of security.
The nearest train station is 1.4 km away, about a 15-minute walk. The resident notes that public transport is excellent. The area is very well connected, with trams and buses serving the city centre and beyond.
The listing does not mention a balcony or garden. However, the resident mentions a 'very nice green courtyard at the apartment complex', so there is shared outdoor space available.
The listing does not specify the number of rooms. With 57 m², it is likely a one-bedroom or compact two-bedroom apartment, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
