Lange Elisabethstraat Mariaplaats en omgeving, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Lange Elisabethstraat sits right in the thick of the city's historic centre. With 123 m² of living space, it's a generous home for the area. The building dates from 1450, so you're living with centuries of character, and the energy label B means it's reasonably efficient for such an old structure. At €2,560 per month, the rent is 26% above the neighbourhood average of €2,038, that's on the high side, but you're paying for a large apartment in a prime central spot. For context, the average rent per m² in the area is €26.18, so this one works out at about €20.81 per m², which is actually below that average.

This is the beating heart of Utrecht, literally. With 6,002 addresses per km², it's one of the most densely populated areas in the country. The neighbourhood is lively and busy, as two residents confirm. One says: "It's a nice area to live in. The location is pleasant, but it's the centre so there's almost always noise pollution. Of course that's to be expected. However, the surroundings aren't very hygienic. In the courtyard where we live, there are many restaurants that dump their waste in the alleys. That's a shame." Another adds: "Street full of shops and cosiness. Nice and bustling sometimes also noisy but that's not the residents' fault haha." The area is dominated by single-person households (900 out of 1,265), and most residents are between 25 and 45. It's a young, transient crowd. The neighbourhood Lange Elisabethstraat, Mariaplaats en omgeving has a high crime rate, 793 total offences, which is something to be aware of.

For families, there are several primary schools nearby: odbs Puntenburg is a five-minute walk, Montessori Kind Centrum LEF is a bit further, and Openbare Dalton Basisschool Pieterskerkhof is about a ten-minute walk. Secondary education is available at St-Gregorius College. The municipality Utrecht offers all the amenities you'd expect from a major city, with restaurants right on your doorstep and a park or garden within a five-minute walk.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Rotsvast Utrecht and Rotsvast Delft & Rotterdam, so it's available through several channels.
