Pijlsweerd-Zuid, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Spijkerstraat sits in Pijlsweerd-Zuid, a neighbourhood that feels safe and friendly despite being close to the city centre. With an energy label B, it's reasonably efficient, and at €395,000 it's priced 27% below the neighbourhood average of €541,310, a keen price for a 65 m² home. For context, apartments in Utrecht vary widely, but this one stands out for its value.
Residents give the neighbourhood a 7.4 out of 10. One says: "The neighbourhood is getting greener and more beautiful!... No matter when you go out on the street, it always feels safe." Another notes: "I always feel safe in this neighbourhood, perhaps because it's close to the police station. It's a 10-minute walk from the centre, which is great." A third adds: "Even though it's so close to the centre, I experience little nuisance. Supermarkets within walking distance, well accessible by public transport and quiet but not boring." The main drawback mentioned is a lack of greenery. The area is densely populated (5,909 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of flats, with many young adults and singles. For more on the area, see neighbourhood Pijlsweerd-Zuid.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn, Aldi and Ekoplaza are all just around the corner. Two primary schools, KBS De Pijlstaart and Montessori Kind Centrum LEF, are a couple of streets away, making the school run a short walk. The neighbourhood also has a GP practice within a five-minute walk. Utrecht's central station is a ten-minute walk, and the city centre is equally close.

The neighbourhood is getting greener and more beautiful! But there is still room for improvement (and that will happen in 2025/2026). The municipality could pay a bit more attention to litter. Although it's also just busy because of the many tourists and students due to the location. In terms of layout, it's nice, good and friendly neighbours! Good social control. No matter when you go out on the street, it always feels safe. There are a few (primary) schools in the neighbourhood and many shops for your daily groceries. Vredenburg is a 10-minute walk, if you want something different. As for housing, I can't say much, houses sell quickly and there is always some rental supply, but just like in the rest of Utrecht, it's all quickly taken. It's an old neighbourhood, so not much can be built/created in terms of living space.
Auto-translated to English by AII always feel safe in this neighbourhood, perhaps because it's close to the police station. It's a 10-minute walk from the centre, which is great. No noise at night. I do really miss greenery in the area. I also notice that misplaced rubbish or litter is not cleaned up quickly; that could be improved.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a nice neighbourhood. Even though it's so close to the centre, I experience little nuisance. Supermarkets within walking distance, well accessible by public transport and quiet but not boring. Close to the police station so they often drive by but in principle nothing ever happens here. There is no greenery here, I miss that, a small park or something would be nice.
