Transwijk-Zuid, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis 2021-built apartment on Lomanlaan feels fresh and efficient, with an A energy label keeping running costs low. At €1,579 per month, the rent sits 19% above the neighbourhood average of €1,328, on the high side, but for a new-build with these specs it reflects the premium you pay. For context, the median rent in the area is €1,539, so this is at the top end of the market. If you're looking at apartments in Utrecht, this one stands out for its modern finish.
Transwijk-Zuid is a densely built urban area with 2,910 residents, mostly in flats (86% of homes are not single-family). It's a young neighbourhood, over half the population is between 25 and 45, and many live alone (1,465 one-person households). One resident describes it as "impoverishment", noting: "The houses are going to the immigrant community and status holders AZC. Neighbourhood is getting dirtier, stinks, neighbourhood no longer has neighbour contacts, everyone just does their own thing." That's a single review, so take it as one perspective. The neighbourhood Transwijk-Zuid has a high density of addresses (3,711 per km²), typical of a very strongly urban area.
For daily errands, you've got a Jumbo and an Albert Heijn both just around the corner, and a Lidl a couple of streets away. Schools are close too: Basisschool Anne Frank is a five-minute walk, and De Olijfboom is similarly near. The park or public garden is on your doorstep, so green space is easy to reach. The municipality Utrecht offers all the city's amenities, though the train station is a ten-minute walk away.

About Lomanlaan 69, Utrecht
The rent is 19% above the neighbourhood average of €1,328, but it's in line with the median of €1,539. Given the new build (2021) and A energy label, the premium reflects the modern standard. Comparable apartments in the area average €20.62 per m², and this one works out to €19.74 per m², slightly below that average, so the price per square metre is actually reasonable.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. That means heating and electricity costs will be low compared to older homes. In a neighbourhood where many homes are older, this is a clear advantage for monthly outgoings.
Transwijk-Zuid has a young population: over half are between 25 and 45, and most households are single people. It's very urban with high density, so you're close to everything. The one resident review is negative about social changes, but that's a single opinion. The area has good access to shops and parks.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Basisschool Anne Frank (522 m), De Olijfboom (527 m), and De Kaleidoskoop (565 m). For secondary education, the nearest is 1.3 km away. A special education school, Rafael, is just 199 m from the apartment.
The nearest train station is 2.5 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk or a short cycle. That's a bit further than some Utrecht neighbourhoods, but still manageable for commuting.
In the most recent data, there were 304 total crimes reported in the neighbourhood. That's a figure to consider, but without context of the neighbourhood size or trends, it's hard to judge. You can check local crime maps for more detail.
