Hoola van Nootenstraat 56
Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs, Utrecht
AreaA new-build apartment in the heart of Utrecht
This brand-new apartment on the Hoola van Nootenstraat sits right in the middle of the city's energy, with the station and the Jaarbeurs trade fair grounds on your doorstep. It is a 2025 build with an A energy label, so it is as efficient as they come. The rent of €3,261 is well above the neighbourhood average, but then this home is also far larger than most in the area. For context, apartments in Utrecht typically go for around €1,863 a month, so this one is on the high side.
The Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs neighbourhood
This is a busy, central area, and the one review we have sums it up well: "Busy but because the apartment is high up you hardly notice it!" The same resident notes that "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." They also mention a "very nice green courtyard at the apartment complex" and wish for more green space in the centre. Based on that single review, it is a mixed picture: brilliant for convenience, less so for peace and quiet. The neighbourhood is home to many single-person households, and the average household size is small. The Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs neighbourhood is one of the most densely populated in Utrecht.
Life on the street
For daily shopping, a SPAR is just around the corner, and an AH to go is a couple of streets away. A full Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk. For school runs, Christelijk Gymnasium Utrecht is a five-minute walk, and Kindercampus Molenpark primary school is about the same distance. The station is a ten-minute walk, which makes sense in a neighbourhood built around it. The municipality of Utrecht keeps the centre lively, with restaurants a couple of streets away and a park within a ten-minute walk.

Frequently asked questions
About Hoola van Nootenstraat 56, Utrecht
Is €3,261 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is 75% above the neighbourhood average of €1,863, but the floor area of 148 m² is 87% larger than the average of 79 m². So you are paying a premium for a much bigger home in a prime central spot. Whether that is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the new-build finish.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient label a home can have. This is an official registration from EP-Online. It means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low energy costs compared to homes with lower labels.
How close is the nearest supermarket?
A SPAR is 278 metres away, so just around the corner. An AH to go is 355 metres away, and a full Albert Heijn is 624 metres away, about a ten-minute walk. With 70 supermarkets within five kilometres, you will never be far from a shop.
What schools are nearby?
Christelijk Gymnasium Utrecht, a secondary school, is 461 metres away. Kindercampus Molenpark primary school is 571 metres away, and odbs Puntenburg is 605 metres away. There are 135 schools within five kilometres, so plenty of choice for families.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 1.4 kilometres away, which is about a 15-minute walk. The neighbourhood is built around the station and the Jaarbeurs, so public transport connections are excellent, as one resident notes.
What is the neighbourhood like to live in?
One resident describes it as busy but with the advantage of being high up in the apartment block. They praise the amenities and public transport but mention it is not accessible by car and that they do not always feel comfortable walking alone late at night. There is a green courtyard at the complex, though the resident would like more green space in the centre.
