What is the energy label?
The energy label is D. This means the home is not among the most efficient, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The agent mentions that the home has double glazing, which helps with insulation. However, the label itself does not tell you the exact condition of the building.

Experiences from Lombok-West
How residents experience their neighbourhood
Especially great that there are so many nice shops in the area. The walks to the Muntkade and Park Oog en Al also often make my day. The house I live in is old and hasn't been properly maintained by the landlord for a long time.
Auto-translated to English by AIYou're a stone's throw from Utrecht Central, the largest train station in the Netherlands. If you walk further, you'll end up in Hoog Catharijne, a mega shopping centre where you can buy everything you're looking for. There's also the Munt, a wonderful historical spot with a beautiful view over the water.

Auto-translated to English by AIEspecially great that there are so many nice shops in the area. The walks to the Muntkade and Park Oog en Al also often make my day. The house I live in is old and hasn't been properly maintained by the landlord for a long time.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a reasonably quiet neighbourhood. But there is absolutely no social contact.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience in the neighbourhood used to be very good. It was fun and cosy. Now there are some people living there who make it a lot less cosy and cause unjustified nuisance. You are wrongly accused and the police are called immediately. Personally, I don't think it's a safe neighbourhood, cars also drive very fast and there are many children who are careless with scooters or fatbikes.
Auto-translated to English by AII quite like it there
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is restless and there is often rubbish on the street. And by restless I mean that in November fireworks go off at night and people often hang around on the street until late. There is a snack bar and several shops in the area. However, there is a lot of hassle, for example with the sewerage that needs to be repaired. When residents report this, it sometimes takes months before anything is done about it, and even then it is not done properly. More police are also needed in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII have good experience in this neighbourhood, people are respectful, it's a nice place to live
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a beautiful neighbourhood with well-maintained houses and gardens, but there is little contact between residents. Although the surroundings are inviting and tidy, you hardly see people on the street and there is little interaction. Everyone seems to go their own way, which makes the neighbourhood, despite its beauty, a bit lonely.

Experiences from Utrecht
How residents experience their municipality
De Nieuwegracht is een rustige en schone kant van het centrum van Utrecht. Aan de overkant ligt een mooi park en een grote weide. Hier is het over het algemeen rustig, soms helaas niet heel schoon. Op de wandelpaden liggen op sommige plekken erg veel sigaretten. De buurt is erg goed bereikbaar op de fiets en te voet. De auto is niet aan te raden, hoewel de Nieuwegracht in vergelijking met de Oudegracht en Twijnstraat veel makkelijker is voor auto's.
Auto-translated to English by AILeuke gemixte buurt waar mensen oog voor elkaar hebben en het rustig wonen is. Het grootste voordeel is dat alle voorzieningen dichtbij zijn zoals Leidsche Rijn centrum, winkelcentrum parkwijk, bushalte, treinstation, scholen, sportclubs, parken, bioscoop en horeca.
Auto-translated to English by AIHeerlijk rustige buurt op slechts 20 minuten afstand van het centrum van Utrecht. Park Hoge Weide, scholen, supermarkten en sportvoorzieningen zijn om de hoek.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighborhood is considered safe, has an active and engaged community, and is well maintained. Neighborhood relations are good. Residents have access to quality housing, reputable schools, and attractive green spaces such as Wilhelminapark, Oosterspoorbaan and Minstroom. The centre is within reach, and Oost offers a nice number of shops.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy, student-like, park on the doorstep, where people sit when the weather is nice. Pub in the neighbourhood, shopping centre within walking distance and Kanaalstraat nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AILunetten zuid is a fairly extensive area, but there are common characteristics: There is little traffic on the streets, even the ring road is relatively quiet. Many houses are situated around a shared green space with some play facilities. This quickly creates a bond with the neighbours. Because Lunetten is separated from the city by a park and forts, which are part of the UNESCO heritage, it has some village-like features. If you value your privacy and don't like contact, then Leidsche rijn is more likely a place where you'll feel at home. Lunetten is not a place of high fences, but rather has a scent of granola with a hint of wokeness. If you feel at home with that, you are very welcome, but if you are not willing to do something for the neighbourhood or your neighbours, there are plenty of other places where you will feel at home.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in Zuilen for 26 years and still consider it one of the best neighbourhoods in Utrecht. With shops, schools, buses and the train station all nearby, everything is within reach. And with the beautiful Julianapark just around the corner, the area also has a lovely place to relax. As far as I'm concerned, an absolute top location.
