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 346, Utrecht
The asking price is 36% below the neighbourhood average of €858,850, but the apartment is also 46% smaller than the average (57 m² vs 106 m²). The price per m² works out at about €9,632, which is above the neighbourhood average of €8,017 per m². So while the total price looks low, you're paying a premium for the new build and central location.
The energy label is A+, which is the highest rating. This means the home is very energy-efficient, with excellent insulation and likely a heat pump or similar modern system. Your heating and electricity bills should be low compared to older homes.
Utrecht Centraal station is about 1.4 km away, which is a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood is built around the station, so you're very well connected for trains and buses.
The resident review 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. It's a busy central district, so you may want to consider this if you're concerned about safety.
The listing does not mention a balcony or terrace, but the resident review notes a 'very nice green courtyard at the apartment complex'. So there is shared outdoor space, though private outdoor space is not stated.
The floor area is 57 m², which typically accommodates one or two bedrooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
The resident review says the area is 'not accessible by car', and the neighbourhood is very densely built (address density 5,225). There is no mention of a parking spot in the listing. Utrecht city centre has limited parking, so you may need to rely on public transport or a parking permit.
