Frequently asked questions
About Oudenoord 477, Utrecht
Is €545,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €545,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €533,250 and the median of €510,000. However, this apartment is larger than average (89 m² vs 73 m²), which partly explains the premium. Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €444,545, so the price is on the high side.
What does energy label G mean for running costs?
Energy label G is the least efficient rating, so you can expect high energy bills. The home was built in 1942 and likely lacks modern insulation. In the neighbourhood, two-thirds of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. Utrecht's central station is well connected to the rest of the country.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
Pijlsweerd-Noord has a young population, with many residents aged 25-45. Only about a quarter of households have children, so it's not a typical family neighbourhood. There are several primary schools within walking distance, though.
How many homes like this are for sale in the area?
Currently, there are 10 homes for sale in the neighbourhood, with prices ranging from €350,000 to €875,000. Apartments like this one are common in Utrecht, and the market has seen 33 sales recently.
What is the crime rate like in Pijlsweerd-Noord?
The neighbourhood recorded 92 total crimes in the latest data. Given the high population density, this is moderate. The area has a lively urban feel, so some noise and activity are to be expected.

Experiences from Noordwest
How residents experience their district
I've lived in Zuilen for 26 years and still consider it one of the best neighbourhoods in Utrecht. With shops, schools, buses and the train station all nearby, everything is within reach. And with the beautiful Julianapark just around the corner, the area also has a lovely place to relax. As far as I'm concerned, an absolute top location.
Auto-translated to English by AIJust nice and stuff
Auto-translated to English by AIThe 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 AIThe neighbourhood is divided into 2 between the original residents and the new ones, this is clearly noticeable with houses being pelted with eggs and fireworks and the police do nothing.
Auto-translated to English by AIPoorly maintained public spaces
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.
Auto-translated to English by AIvery nice!

Experiences from Utrecht
How residents experience their municipality
De Nieuwegracht is een rustige en schone kant van het centrum van Utrecht. Aan de overkant ligt een mooi park en een grote weide. Hier is het over het algemeen rustig, soms helaas niet heel schoon. Op de wandelpaden liggen op sommige plekken erg veel sigaretten. De buurt is erg goed bereikbaar op de fiets en te voet. De auto is niet aan te raden, hoewel de Nieuwegracht in vergelijking met de Oudegracht en Twijnstraat veel makkelijker is voor auto's.
Auto-translated to English by AILeuke gemixte buurt waar mensen oog voor elkaar hebben en het rustig wonen is. Het grootste voordeel is dat alle voorzieningen dichtbij zijn zoals Leidsche Rijn centrum, winkelcentrum parkwijk, bushalte, treinstation, scholen, sportclubs, parken, bioscoop en horeca.
Auto-translated to English by AIHeerlijk rustige buurt op slechts 20 minuten afstand van het centrum van Utrecht. Park Hoge Weide, scholen, supermarkten en sportvoorzieningen zijn om de hoek.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighborhood is considered safe, has an active and engaged community, and is well maintained. Neighborhood relations are good. Residents have access to quality housing, reputable schools, and attractive green spaces such as Wilhelminapark, Oosterspoorbaan and Minstroom. The centre is within reach, and Oost offers a nice number of shops.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy, student-like, park on the doorstep, where people sit when the weather is nice. Pub in the neighbourhood, shopping centre within walking distance and Kanaalstraat nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AILunetten zuid is a fairly extensive area, but there are common characteristics: There is little traffic on the streets, even the ring road is relatively quiet. Many houses are situated around a shared green space with some play facilities. This quickly creates a bond with the neighbours. Because Lunetten is separated from the city by a park and forts, which are part of the UNESCO heritage, it has some village-like features. If you value your privacy and don't like contact, then Leidsche rijn is more likely a place where you'll feel at home. Lunetten is not a place of high fences, but rather has a scent of granola with a hint of wokeness. If you feel at home with that, you are very welcome, but if you are not willing to do something for the neighbourhood or your neighbours, there are plenty of other places where you will feel at home.

Auto-translated to English by AIEspecially great that there are so many nice shops in the area. The walks to the Muntkade and Park Oog en Al also often make my day. The house I live in is old and hasn't been properly maintained by the landlord for a long time.
