Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Hoola van Nootenstraat sits in the bustling centre of Utrecht, right by the station and Jaarbeurs. It's a brand-new home, built in 2025, with an A+ energy label, so it's super efficient and future-proof. At 65 m², it's compact but well-designed, and the price of €585,000 is notably keen compared to the neighbourhood average, partly because it's smaller than the typical home here. For context, apartments in Utrecht vary widely, but this one stands out for its modern specs and central location.
The neighbourhood Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs is all about city living. It's densely built-up and very lively, with a huge number of young adults and singles. One resident sums it up: "Busy but because the apartment is high up you hardly notice it!" They love the amenities, shops, restaurants, public transport, but note it's not car-friendly and can feel unsafe at night due to homeless people. The resident also wishes for more green space, though the apartment complex has a nice courtyard. Based on one review, it's a trade-off between convenience and tranquillity.
For groceries, you've got a SPAR just around the corner and an AH to go a couple of streets away, plus a full Albert Heijn within a ten-minute walk. Schools are close too: the Christelijk Gymnasium Utrecht is a five-minute walk, and Kindercampus Molenpark primary school is also nearby. The municipality Utrecht offers everything you'd expect from a major city, with restaurants, a library and parks all within walking distance.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Makelaarsland on Funda and also 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.
