AreaA modern apartment in the Vogelenbuurt

This listing does not state the energy label, so that information is missing from the description. For context, you can compare it with other [apartments in Utrecht].
What the agent tells us
The agent provides limited details about this apartment. We know it was built in 2007 and that it is for sale, but the listing does not mention the number of rooms, bedrooms, or bathrooms, nor any outdoor space or installations. The living area according to the BAG registration is 80 square metres, which works out at €8,125 per square metre based on the asking price. Without further specifications from the agent, there is little more to say about the interior layout.
Life in the Vogelenbuurt
Residents of the wider district give their living environment an average score of 6.79, based on seven reviews. One resident describes it as "a very nice place to grow up", mentioning the proximity to Griftpark and the neighbourhood parties that bring people together. Another resident, talking about Voordorp, says it "really feels like a village", with people greeting each other, children playing in the street, and plenty of greenery. A third review is far more critical, complaining about poorly maintained streets, litter, and noise from students. The reviews are mixed, so it is worth reading them all. The neighbourhood has around 4,000 inhabitants, and a large share of households are single-person. You can read more about [the Vogelenbuurt neighbourhood] on our site.
