Frequently asked questions
About Rijnlaan 41BS, Utrecht

The asking price was 24% below the average asking price in Rivierenwijk (€489,296) and also below the median of €450,000.

Similar-sized homes in the neighbourhood sell for around €5,074 per m² on average, while this one worked out at €4,663 per m².
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This meant the home was not energy-efficient and heating costs would be high. In the neighbourhood, only 10% of homes have label A+, 23% have A, and 27% have D or lower. So this apartment is among the least efficient in the area.
How safe is Rivierenwijk?
Resident reviews are mixed. One review mentions drug trading and litter as issues, while another praises the neighbourhood's improvements. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 358, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. The urbanity level is very strong (1 out of 5), which often correlates with higher crime rates. It's best to visit the area at different times to get a feel for safety.
What public transport is nearby?
The train station is 1.3 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood is very urban with high address density, so public transport connections are generally good in this part of Utrecht.

Several primary schools are within walking distance: KBS Gertrudis at 208 metres, OBS Maaspleinschool at 411 metres, and De Wereldwijzer at 460 metres. Secondary education is 0.8 km away. The neighbourhood has a mix of families with children (about 28% of households), so schools are an important part of the local amenities.
