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.
