For context, apartments in Utrecht average €8,017 per m².
This is a busy, central neighbourhood, very urban with over 5,200 addresses per km². One resident says: "Busy but because the apartment is high up you hardly notice it!" They appreciate the amenities and excellent public transport, but note it's not car-friendly and can feel unsafe late at night. The neighbourhood Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs is dominated by young adults (two-thirds are 25-45) and mostly single-person households.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, Jumbo just around the corner, and SPAR a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, odbs Puntenburg, is a couple of streets away too. For secondary education, St-Gregorius College is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Utrecht offers all the cultural and leisure options you'd expect from a major city.

In terms of amenities it's wonderful to live in the centre, but it's also very busy and not accessible by car. Public transport is excellent. I never feel comfortable walking alone late at night because of all the homeless people and creepy individuals. There should be much more green space in the centre for my liking. It could be so much better. We do have a very nice green courtyard at the apartment complex.
