Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis brand-new apartment on the Hoola van Nootenstraat sits high above the city bustle, one resident says it's busy but because the apartment is high up you hardly notice it. At 115 m² with an A+ energy label, it's a modern, efficient home in the centre. The asking price of €995,000 is 16% above the neighbourhood average of €858,850, which is on the high side but reflects the new-build quality and location. For context, apartments in Utrecht vary widely in price and size.
This is Utrecht's busiest area, the train station, shopping centres and offices are all on your doorstep. With an address density of 5,225 per km², it's extremely urban. The one review available sums it up: amenities are wonderful, but it's very busy and not accessible by car. Public transport is excellent, and there's a nice green courtyard at the apartment complex. The neighbourhood Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs is home to mostly young adults and singles, with very few families.
For daily groceries, SPAR is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. There are several schools nearby: Christelijk Gymnasium Utrecht is a couple of streets away, and Kindercampus Molenpark is also within walking distance. The municipality Utrecht offers all the amenities you'd expect from a major city, from restaurants to parks.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Covers Wonen Makelaars & Taxateurs and also appears on Funda, 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.
