About Johannes de Bekastraat 14, Utrecht
The asking price of €475,000 is 21% below the average asking price in the Vogelenbuurt (€600,636) and also below the median of €580,000. Given the 75 m² floor area, that works out to about €6,333 per m², which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €6,872 per m². So it's priced keenly for the area.
The energy label is D. That's a common rating for a pre-war building like this one (built in 1904). It means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 37.5% of homes have a label D or lower, so it's typical for the area.
The nearest train station is 2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. That's a reasonable distance for a central Utrecht neighbourhood.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Openbare Basisschool De Koekoek (163 m), Basisschool Dr. Bosschool (312 m), and Koorschool Utrecht (609 m). For secondary education, Al Amana College Utrecht is 661 m away. The area has plenty of educational options.
Currently, there are 22 homes for sale in the Vogelenbuurt. The average asking price is €600,636, and the average floor area is 92 m². So this apartment is smaller and cheaper than the average, which makes it a more affordable option in the area.
The CBS data records 260 total crimes in the neighbourhood, but without a per-capita figure or context, it's hard to judge. The Vogelenbuurt is a central urban area, so some crime is expected, but it's generally considered a safe and pleasant place to live.
