About Oudegracht 33J, Utrecht
The rent of €2,360 is 34% above the neighbourhood average of €1,766, and also above the average per m² of €30.04 (this home works out at €29.87/m²). Given the A+++ energy label and the central location on the Oudegracht, the premium reflects the quality and position. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value efficiency and being in the heart of Utrecht.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, so heating and electricity costs will be low. For a 1908 building, this is exceptional and suggests significant modernisation has been done. You will benefit from a warm home with minimal energy bills.
One resident mentions noise as the main con of living so close to the city centre. With 6,460 addresses per km², it is a very dense urban area, so street noise and nightlife are part of the package.
