Based on three reviews, the overall score is 8.96 out of 10. The area is mostly pre-war housing (95%), with a mix of singles and families. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Schildersbuurt.

Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here my whole life, and there are many good things about this neighbourhood, like the peace and quiet and the number of cats and dogs (which I really like). Also nice people!=) But there's always a lot of rubbish on the street and rubbish bags next to the neighbourhood container. Not very nice.... it also smells here sometimes, but that's probably due to the sewerage. In terms of facilities and surroundings, it's a fine neighbourhood to live in.
Auto-translated to English by AII am very satisfied with the neighbourhood where I live. The neighbourhood concierge is a great addition and ensures a pleasant atmosphere. The cosy shops in the area make shopping a pleasure, especially with Wilhelminapark nearby. And the Kohnstammschool is a hidden gem that makes the neighbourhood special for children's education.

About Johannes Vermeerstraat 2A, Utrecht
The asking price of €539,000 is 31% below the average asking price in the Schildersbuurt (€784,250) and also below the median of €585,000. However, the apartment is smaller than the neighbourhood average (78 m² vs 116 m²). Given the A energy label and the central location, the price looks competitive for what's on offer.
The Schildersbuurt scores an 8.96 out of 10 from three resident reviews. Residents appreciate the peace and quiet, the many pets, and the neighbourhood concierge. Some mention street rubbish and occasional smells from the sewerage. The area is densely built with pre-war housing, and has a mix of singles and families.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride.
There are several schools within walking distance. The Utrechtse Schoolvereniging (primary) is 390 m away, the Prof. Kohnstammschool (primary) is 462 m away, and the St. Bonifatiuscollege (secondary) is 468 m away. All are within a five- to ten-minute walk.
The apartment has an energy label A, which is very efficient. This means you can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared to older homes. In the Schildersbuurt, only 25% of homes have label A, and 50% have label D or lower.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not stated, so it's best to assume there is no private outdoor space. The Wilhelminapark is 400 m away for green space.
The floor area is 78 m², which typically accommodates two bedrooms, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.
