About Keizerstraat 16D, Utrecht
At €500,000, this apartment is the cheapest of the six currently for sale in the Nobelstraat en omgeving neighbourhood. It is 36% below the average asking price of €777,500, but the floor area (67 m²) is also 40% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 111 m². So the price per square metre is actually in line with the market. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value a compact home in the centre.
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably efficient. You can expect moderate energy bills, though not as low as an A or A+ label. In this neighbourhood, 37.5% of homes have label A, 25% have B, and 25% have C, so this apartment is slightly above average in efficiency.
The neighbourhood is very popular among young adults: over half of residents are aged 25 to 45, and most households are single-person. The area is densely built and urban, with plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city centre is right there. It is a lively, busy area.
There are several schools within walking distance. For primary education, the Openbare Dalton Basisschool Pieterskerkhof is about 300 metres away, and Koorschool Utrecht is a similar distance. For secondary education, St-Gregorius College and School aan de Singel are both within a five-minute walk.
Utrecht Centraal station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. The neighbourhood is well connected by bike and on foot, and buses are also available.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The apartment is in a central location with a park just 100 metres away, so outdoor space is nearby but not private.
