Such a beautiful neighbourhood and it keeps getting more beautiful, especially with the improvements to the Jutfaseweg.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the moment the neighbourhood is not very safe. Drugs are traded on the car park, laughing gas is also used, cartridges lie on the car park. Then the rubbish bins... are emptied poorly, everyone dumps bulky waste next to them... So yes, the neighbourhood is going downhill fast! Enforcement is hard to find, as is the police.

About Socrateslaan 48, Utrecht
The asking price is 26% above the average asking price in Rivierenwijk (€470,630). However, this apartment is 141 m², which is 83% larger than the neighbourhood average of 77 m². So you are paying more, but for significantly more space. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra square metres and the pre-war character.
The energy label is D. In Rivierenwijk, about 27% of homes have a label D or lower, while 37% have A or A+. A D label means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a modern home. It is worth checking the insulation and heating system.
Reviews are mixed. One resident mentions drug dealing and litter as issues, while another finds the neighbourhood beautiful and improving. The total number of crimes recorded in the area is 358, but without context it is hard to compare. It is a central, dense urban area, so some nuisances are common.
Several primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Openbare Basisschool De Hoge Raven (491 m), KBS St. Jan de Doper (518 m), and Da Costa Basisschool Hoograven (550 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is about 0.8 km away. There is also a special education school, STIP VSO Utrecht, at 503 m.
The nearest train station is 1.3 km away, which is about a 15-minute walk or a short bike ride. This makes commuting by train quite convenient.
Yes, Albert Heijn is 585 m away (about a 7-minute walk), Coop is 890 m, and Lidl is 975 m. So daily groceries are easily accessible on foot or by bike.
