Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment sits high up in a brand-new complex on the Hoola van Nootenstraat, right in the thick of Utrecht's bustling centre. With an A+ energy label and a 2025 build, it's as efficient and modern as they come. At €695,000 for 83 m², the asking price is 19% below the neighbourhood average of €858,850, making it a keen entry into this part of town. That's a sharp contrast with the typical apartments in Utrecht, where prices have been climbing.
This is a dense, urban pocket, the address density is over 5,200, and the urbanity level is the highest possible. It's a young area: most residents are between 25 and 45, and nearly three-quarters of households are single-person. One resident sums it up: "Busy but because the apartment is high up you hardly notice it!" They appreciate the amenities and excellent public transport, but note it's not car-friendly and can feel unsafe late at night due to homeless people. They also wish for more green space, though the complex has a nice courtyard. Based on that single review, it's a trade-off between convenience and calm. For more context, see the Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs neighbourhood.
For daily groceries, a SPAR is just around the corner, and an AH to go is a couple of streets away. A full-size Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk. For school runs, the Christelijk Gymnasium Utrecht is a five-minute walk, and primary schools like odbs Puntenburg and Kindercampus Molenpark are also within a short stroll. The central station is a ten-minute walk, and the city's restaurants and cafés are on your doorstep. All this falls under the municipality of Utrecht, which keeps the streets lively and well-served.
At the time of writing, the home is listed only via Punt Makelaars Utrecht.

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 393, Utrecht
The asking price of €695,000 is 19% below the neighbourhood average of €858,850, and also below the median of €610,000? Actually, the median is €610,000, so €695,000 is above the median. But given the new-build quality, A+ label, and central location, it's priced keenly compared to similar apartments in the area. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €8,017, so at €8,373 per m², it's slightly above that, but still competitive for a brand-new home.
The energy label is A+, the highest possible. That means the apartment is extremely energy-efficient, with low heating and electricity costs. In this neighbourhood, 46.7% of homes have label A or A+, so you're getting top-tier efficiency. You won't have to worry about high energy bills or retrofitting.
The neighbourhood has a high number of total crimes (3,223), but that's typical for a very dense city centre. One resident mentions feeling uncomfortable walking alone late at night due to homeless people and 'creepy individuals'. However, the apartment is high up, so you hardly notice the street-level bustle. It's a trade-off between vibrant city life and occasional unease.
The train station is 1.4 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The resident review notes that public transport is excellent.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The resident review mentions a 'very nice green courtyard at the apartment complex', so there is shared outdoor space. For private outdoor space, you would need to check the specific floor plan.
The floor area is 83 m², which typically accommodates two to three rooms, but the exact layout is not provided. You would need to contact the agent for details.
For a new-build apartment, it usually covers maintenance of common areas, the courtyard, and the building's exterior. You would need to ask the agent for the exact amount.
