About Koekoekstraat 6, Utrecht
The asking price of €450,000 is 25% below the average asking price in the Vogelenbuurt, which is €600,636. The median asking price in the neighbourhood is €580,000, and the cheapest home currently listed is €395,000. Given the 78 m² floor area and the need for energy improvements (label F), the price is keen compared to the local market.
The energy label is F, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. Heating costs are likely to be higher than in a modern home. In the Vogelenbuurt, 37.5% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war apartment. You can expect to invest in insulation or heating upgrades over time.
The nearest train station is 2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride.
Primary school De Koekoek is just 199 m away, and Koorschool Utrecht is 329 m. For secondary education, School aan de Singel (offering vwo and havo) is 437 m away. Several other primary and secondary schools are within a ten-minute walk.
Albert Heijn is 323 m away, just around the corner. Another Albert Heijn is 492 m, and Jumbo is 500 m. For daily shopping, you have several options within a five-minute walk.
Currently, 22 homes are for sale in the neighbourhood. In the past period, 64 homes were sold, with an average selling price of €563,109 and an average time on the market of 34 days. This indicates a fairly active market.
The CBS data records 260 total crimes in the neighbourhood, but without a per-capita figure or context, it's hard to judge. The area is densely populated and urban, which can come with typical city noise and activity. No specific crime trends are mentioned in the listing.
