About Morelstraat 64BS, Utrecht
The asking price of €495,000 is close to the neighbourhood median of €490,250, so it's in line with the local market. The average price per m² in Ondiep is €6,292, and this home works out to about €5,690 per m², which is slightly below average. Given the size and location, the price is reasonable.
The energy label is D. In Ondiep, about 29% of homes for sale have a label D or lower, while over 60% have A or B. A D label means the home is less energy-efficient, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern, well-insulated home. It's worth considering potential improvements.
Ondiep has a mix of households: about 755 with children and 1,130 single-person households. There are several primary schools within walking distance, like Al Amana Zuilen and OBS Rietendakschool. However, some residents report tensions between original and new residents, and public spaces are described as neglected by one reviewer.
Hoogvliet is 686 metres away, AH XL is 703 metres, Lidl is 758 metres, and PLUS is 833 metres. All are within a ten-minute walk, so daily shopping is convenient.
The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bus ride. This makes commuting to other cities feasible.
The neighbourhood recorded 221 total crimes in the latest data. Given the population of about 5,145, that's roughly 43 crimes per 1,000 residents. Some reviews mention issues like vandalism and fireworks, so it's an area to be aware of.
The building was constructed in 1935, so it's a pre-war apartment. The floor area is 87 m², which is typical for that era. The energy label D suggests the original construction may not be well insulated, but the exact condition is not detailed in the listing.
