Nijenoord Hoogstraat en omgeving, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis 1919 apartment on Lauwerecht sits in a lively part of Utrecht, where the streets are lined with old trees and the vibe is urban but not frantic. At €425,000 for 63 m², the price is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €7,096/m², but that reflects the scarcity of apartments for sale here, only eight are currently listed. For context, that's in line with what other apartments in Utrecht typically fetch.
The neighbourhood is densely built and very urban, with over 5,000 addresses per km². It's a young area: nearly half the residents are between 25 and 45, and most households are singles or couples without children. The streets are busy but walkable, and the mix of pre-war housing and modern flats gives it a varied feel. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from the statistics alone. You can read more about the neighbourhood Nijenoord, Hoogstraat en omgeving on the neighbourhood page.

For school runs, the nearest primary school is Dr. Bosschool, a couple of streets away, and the Trajectum College secondary school is also within walking distance. The area has plenty of restaurants and a park within a five-minute stroll, so weekend mornings are sorted.

About Lauwerecht 229, Utrecht
The asking price of €425,000 works out at about €6,746 per m², which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €7,096/m². However, the median price for apartments sold recently in this area is €462,500, so this home is priced a bit under that. Given that only eight apartments are for sale, it's a competitive market, but the price is in line with what similar homes have sold for.
The energy label is E, which is common for a home built in 1919. In the neighbourhood, over 45% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual. An E label means heating costs will be higher than in a modern home, but the character of a pre-war apartment often compensates for that.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. Utrecht's central station is about 2.5 km from the apartment, so you can be on a train to anywhere in the country within 30 minutes door-to-door.
The neighbourhood is ideal for young professionals: nearly half the residents are between 25 and 45, and most households are singles or couples without children. The area is very urban with plenty of restaurants, a park, and a library within walking distance. It's a lively, walkable part of Utrecht.
Yes, there are several schools within walking distance. The nearest primary school is Dr. Bosschool at 580 m, and the Trajectum College secondary school is 575 m away. There's also a child daycare centre just 400 m from the apartment, so it's a practical location for families with young children.
Currently, there are only eight apartments for sale in the neighbourhood, which is a very low number. This means choice is limited and homes tend to sell relatively quickly. The average time on the market for sold apartments here is 42 days, so if you're interested, it's worth acting promptly.
