Schaakbuurt en omgeving, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Prinses Irenelaan sits in a peaceful corner of Utrecht, built in 2011 with an A energy label so it's efficient and modern. At 78 m², it's a comfortable size for a couple or small family. The asking price of €499,000 is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €477,806, but given the newer build and top energy rating, it's in line with what you'd expect for this quality. For context, apartments in Utrecht vary widely, but this one stands out for its efficiency.
The Schaakbuurt is a quiet, diverse area with a strong sense of community. One resident calls it the 'Nicest neighbourhood Utrecht', praising the quiet, nice community, and proximity to shops. Based on that single review, it's clearly appreciated. The area is densely populated, over 4,600 residents, with a mix of ages and household types, from singles to families. Most homes were built between 1945 and 1970, but this apartment is from a later period. For more on the area, see the Schaakbuurt en omgeving neighbourhood.
Your daily routine here is easy: Albert Heijn is just around the corner for groceries, and there are several other supermarkets a short walk away. For school runs, Openbare basisschool De Cirkel is a couple of streets away, and KBS Wijzer aan de Vecht is also within easy reach. A park or garden is on your doorstep, perfect for a morning stroll. The area is well served by restaurants and a library, all within a five-minute walk. For the wider area, the municipality of Utrecht offers plenty more.

The average price per m² in the area is €5,221, and at 78 m² this works out to about €6,397 per m², higher than average, but justified by the modern build and efficiency.
