When I come to Voordorp, it really feels like a village. People look at you, say hello, children play in the street, and there's a lot of greenery. It's also car-free, which makes it nice and quiet on the street! Once there was a fight between a bunch of street youths, but I don't think they were from the neighbourhood. Because I hardly ever see people hanging around on the street, which I also like. My room is practically on the pavement and I never have any trouble with anyone. I also come from a village and was a bit afraid of the city's hustle and bustle, but it's not like that at all, so that's really great.

About Ryelandstraat 5, Utrecht
The asking price of €550,000 is below the neighbourhood median of €575,000 and the average of €613,222. Given that it's a recent build (2021) with an A energy label, it's priced keenly compared to other apartments in Voordorp.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means low energy costs and a smaller environmental footprint. In the neighbourhood, about 58% of homes have label A or better, so this apartment is well above average.
Voordorp is family-friendly with many children playing in the streets. There are several primary schools within walking distance, like Basisschool de Beiaard (a five-minute walk) and Basisschool De Wissel (also a five-minute walk). The area is car-free in parts, making it safe for kids.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride.
At €7,639 per m² (€550,000 / 72 m²), this apartment is above the neighbourhood average of €6,399 per m². However, the home is newly built (2021) with an A label, which typically commands a premium.
The listing does not mention a garden or terrace. The plot size is not stated, so it's unclear if there is private outdoor space. The neighbourhood has a park just a couple of streets away.
