Pijlsweerd-Zuid, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis 1903 apartment on Otterstraat has a warm, old-Utrecht feel with high ceilings and original details. At 99 m², it's a generous size for a two-bedroom home in this part of the city. With a price of €595,000, it sits above the neighbourhood average of €541,310, partly because of its size, but also because apartments in Utrecht in good condition command a premium. The energy label D means heating costs will be noticeable, especially in winter.
Pijlsweerd-Zuid is a lively, central neighbourhood with a mix of students, young professionals and families. One resident says: "The neighbourhood is getting greener and more beautiful!" Another notes: "I always feel safe in this neighbourhood, perhaps because it's close to the police station." A third adds: "Supermarkets within walking distance, well accessible by public transport and quiet but not boring." The area is densely built, over 5,900 addresses per km², and most homes are apartments. The neighbourhood Pijlsweerd-Zuid has a young population, with many single-person households.
For daily groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Aldi and Ekoplaza are a couple of streets away. Jumbo is a five-minute walk. Montessori Kind Centrum LEF and KBS De Pijlstaart are both within a few minutes' walk for primary school children. The municipality Utrecht keeps the area well connected, with a train station about a ten-minute walk away and the city centre easily reached on foot.

The neighbourhood is getting greener and more beautiful! But there is still room for improvement (and that will happen in 2025/2026). The municipality could pay a bit more attention to litter. Although it's also just busy because of the many tourists and students due to the location. In terms of layout, it's nice, good and friendly neighbours! Good social control. No matter when you go out on the street, it always feels safe. There are a few (primary) schools in the neighbourhood and many shops for your daily groceries. Vredenburg is a 10-minute walk, if you want something different. As for housing, I can't say much, houses sell quickly and there is always some rental supply, but just like in the rest of Utrecht, it's all quickly taken. It's an old neighbourhood, so not much can be built/created in terms of living space.
Auto-translated to English by AII always feel safe in this neighbourhood, perhaps because it's close to the police station. It's a 10-minute walk from the centre, which is great. No noise at night. I do really miss greenery in the area. I also notice that misplaced rubbish or litter is not cleaned up quickly; that could be improved.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a nice neighbourhood. Even though it's so close to the centre, I experience little nuisance. Supermarkets within walking distance, well accessible by public transport and quiet but not boring. Close to the police station so they often drive by but in principle nothing ever happens here. There is no greenery here, I miss that, a small park or something would be nice.

About Otterstraat 114BS, Utrecht
The asking price is above the neighbourhood average of €541,310 and the median of €525,000. However, this apartment is larger than average (99 m² vs 82 m²), so the price per m² (€6,010) is actually below the neighbourhood average of €6,958. That suggests the price is in line with the market for its size.
The energy label is D. In this neighbourhood, 60% of homes have label A or better, so D is below average. You can expect higher energy bills compared to a more efficient home, especially for heating. The listing does not state the exact energy performance, but label D typically means the home is not well insulated.
Residents feel safe. One says: "No matter when you go out on the street, it always feels safe." Another notes: "I always feel safe in this neighbourhood, perhaps because it's close to the police station." The total number of crimes reported in the neighbourhood is 283, but no further breakdown is available.
