About Marnixlaan 85, Utrecht
The asking price of €350,000 works out to €7,000 per m², which is above the neighbourhood average of €6,208 per m². However, the apartment is smaller than the typical home in the area (50 m² vs 68 m² average), and the price reflects the desirable location and pre-war character. Recently sold homes in the neighbourhood averaged €423,008, so this is priced competitively for its size.
Energy label D means the home is moderately efficient. You can expect reasonable heating costs, but it's not as efficient as modern homes with labels A or B. Given the 1919 construction, some improvements like better insulation or double glazing could help reduce energy bills, but the current label is typical for a pre-war apartment in this area.
The neighbourhood is very convenient. A large supermarket (Albert Heijn) is just around the corner, and there are several primary schools within a five-minute walk. The area is densely populated but has a friendly, community feel. Residents mention it's "nice and central" and close to the station, making it easy to get around.
The nearest train station is 1.3 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting to other parts of Utrecht or further afield straightforward.
The neighbourhood has a high proportion of young adults (25-45 years) and singles, with many one-person households. The area is popular with professionals and students due to its central location and good transport links. Families are less common, but there are some households with children.
Yes, a park or public garden is just 0.3 km away, so you can enjoy green space within a few minutes' walk. This is a nice bonus in an otherwise urban setting.
