A flat in Overvecht with a mixed reputation
This apartment on Korfoedreef sits in Overvecht, a neighbourhood that gets mixed reviews from residents. One calls it "Terrible", dirty, messy, noisy, with rats and loitering youths. Another says it's "Well-connected, green environment" and notes that the bad reputation is overblown. The flat itself was a 1966 apartment with 83 m² and energy label C, priced at €330,000. That was just above the neighbourhood median of €327,500, so it was in line with the market. For context, apartments in Utrecht sell for a wide range of prices. This home has not been online since 28 July 2026.
Zamenhofdreef en omgeving: green but gritty
The neighbourhood Zamenhofdreef en omgeving is a dense urban area with 4,444 addresses per km². It's mostly flats (98% of homes are apartments) and a mix of ages: 61% built between 1945 and 1970, 33% after 2010. One resident says: "This neighbourhood has a bit of a reputation as the unsafe neighbourhood of Utrecht, together with Kanaleneiland. But that's not too bad.

Another calls it "Terrible" and mentions rats and noise. Based on two reviews, the average score is 6.69 out of 10.
