Tuindorp-Oost, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis first-floor apartment on Molengraaffplantsoen sits in a quiet, leafy part of Tuindorp-Oost. At 83 m² with an E label, it's a solid home that needs some attention on energy. The asking price of €375,000 is keen, 20% below the neighbourhood average of €469,550, making it a realistic entry into Utrecht's market. For context, apartments in Utrecht vary widely, but this one is priced to move.
Tuindorp-Oost is a calm, family-friendly area with green spaces and playgrounds. One resident describes it as "a nice quiet neighbourhood to live in" and notes that "within 10 minutes by bike you're in the city centre". The neighbourhood Tuindorp-Oost has a mix of ages, with many young adults and families, and average incomes are in line with the city. The only downsides mentioned are occasional street rubbish near De Gaard and an unreliable bus 4.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a second Albert Heijn and a Jumbo are a couple of streets away. Two primary schools, Basisschool de Beiaard and Basisschool De Wissel, are within a five-minute walk, making the school run easy. The municipality Utrecht offers excellent cycling infrastructure, so the city centre is a ten-minute bike ride, and the train station is a ten-minute walk.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Waltmann Makelaars & Bedrijfshuisvesting Utrecht and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

It's a nice quiet neighbourhood to live in. Here and there some green spaces and playgrounds for children. There's a large supermarket in the area with a shopping centre around it that also has a chemist etc. There are 2 schools in the area, one of which has a less strong reputation, which already limits the choice. The area is easily accessible by car and bike, although the Zuilense ring sometimes gets congested. The bus connection is less good; the 55 goes past the area and the 4 goes through the area. Unfortunately, the 4 is not a reliable bus and if it doesn't come, you can wait half an hour for the next one. Sometimes there is still some rubbish on the street, especially around De Gaard. The large waste containers there really look a mess and have a lot of rubbish lying next to them. My neighbours are friendly. The area is quiet yet still in the city; within 10 minutes by bike you're in the city centre and within a few minutes by car you're on the motorway.

About Molengraaffplantsoen 39, Utrecht
The asking price of €375,000 is 20% below the average asking price in Tuindorp-Oost (€469,550) and also below the median of €412,500. Given the 83 m² floor area and E energy label, it's priced keenly compared to other apartments in the area. However, the energy label means higher heating costs, so factor that in.
The energy label is E, which is below average for the neighbourhood, only 37.5% of homes in Tuindorp-Oost have a label D or lower. An E label means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher gas and electricity bills. It may be worth budgeting for improvements like insulation or double glazing.
