For context, there are currently 7 apartments for sale in the area, and the average price per m² for apartments in Utrecht is lower.
Wijk C is the historic heart of Utrecht, with a very high density of 6,460 addresses per km². It's a neighbourhood of mostly pre-war buildings (84.6% built before 1945) and a young population, nearly half are between 25 and 45. One resident sums it up: "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." That's based on a single review, but it captures the trade-off well. The neighbourhood Wijk C is undeniably central.
For groceries, you have an Albert Heijn just around the corner, and another a couple of streets away. There are three more supermarkets within a five-minute walk. For school runs, Montessori Kind Centrum LEF is a five-minute walk away, and Openbare Basisschool De Koekoek is similarly close.

About Oudegracht 5G, Utrecht
The asking price of €395,000 works out to about €6,371 per m², which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €6,279/m². Given the historic building and location on the Oudegracht, the premium is understandable. However, the energy label F means higher running costs, which may affect the overall value.
The energy label is F, which is poor. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be high. In the neighbourhood, 38.5% of homes have label A+ and only 15.4% are D or lower, so this apartment is less efficient than most. You should budget for significant energy bills.
