The population is mixed: many young professionals and students, but also a fair number of families with children.

Frequently asked questions

About Jacob van der Borchstraat 37, Utrecht

Is €400,000 a fair price for this apartment?

The asking price of €400,000 is 22% below the average asking price in Tuinwijk-West (€511,947) and also below the median of €549,000. However, the floor area of 50 m² is 38% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 80 m². So the price per square metre (€8,000) is above the neighbourhood average of €6,809, which reflects the premium for a smaller unit in a sought-after area.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?

The energy label is E. This is common for a 1931 apartment in this neighbourhood, where 50% of homes have a label D or lower. An E label means heating costs will be higher than in a modern home, but the original features like high ceilings and brick walls often compensate with charm and good insulation of sound.

How far is the train station?

The nearest train station is 1.4 km away, which is about a 17-minute walk or a short cycle ride.

What is the neighbourhood like for families?

Tuinwijk-West has a mix of households: about 27% are families with children, and 30% are single-person households. The area has several primary schools within walking distance, and the streets are quiet and tree-lined. The park is just 200 m away, so there is green space for children to play.

How many apartments like this are for sale in the neighbourhood?

There are 19 apartments for sale in Tuinwijk-West at the moment, with an average asking price of €511,947 and an average floor area of 80 m². This apartment is smaller and cheaper than most, so it stands out as a more affordable option in the area.

What is the public transport like?

The address density of 5,773 per km² indicates a very urban area with good public transport. The train station is 1. The city centre is within walking distance.

Is there a garden or outdoor space?

The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The apartment is 50 m² and located in a pre-war building, so outdoor space is not guaranteed. The park at 200 m provides a nearby alternative.

How old is the building and what condition is it in?

The building was constructed in 1931, which is typical for this neighbourhood (96% of homes were built before 1945). The energy label E suggests original single glazing and less insulation, but the listing does not specify recent renovations. A viewing would be needed to assess the current condition.
