But we love how walkable this neighborhood is to everything in the city centre." The area is densely populated, with mostly one-person households and a young, active population. It's a very urban environment, reflected in the high address density. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Wijk C page.

Living so close to the city centre has pros and cons. Main con is noise. But we love how walkable this neighborhood is to everything in the city centre. We can't imagine living the same lifestyle if we live further away.

About Oudegracht 33A, Utrecht
The rent of €1,761 is close to the neighbourhood average of €1,766 for rental apartments. However, at 47 m² it's smaller than the typical 68 m² in Wijk C, so the price per square metre is higher than average. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the central location and the excellent energy label.
The energy label is A+++, which is the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, so you can expect very low heating and electricity costs. For a building from 1908, that's quite remarkable and likely reflects recent renovations such as insulation and a heat pump.
The resident review mentions noise as a con of living so close to the city centre. The Oudegracht is a central canal with bars, restaurants and foot traffic, so some street noise is to be expected, especially in the evenings. If you're sensitive to noise, you might want to consider a quieter side street.
You have several Albert Heijn supermarkets within a few minutes' walk, plus an AH to go and Boon's Markt. Restaurants are on your doorstep (0.1 km). A GP is 0.5 km away, and the library is 0.6 km. The central station is 1.6 km away, about a 20-minute walk.
At 47 m² and with no mention of the number of bedrooms, this apartment is likely best suited for a single person or a couple. The neighbourhood has few families (only 75 households with children out of 1,390 residents), and most homes are one-person households. Schools are nearby, but the space may be tight for a family.
In the past, rental homes in this neighbourhood were rented out in an average of 23 days. That suggests demand is healthy, but not extremely fast. With 11 apartments currently available for rent, you have some choice.
