Frequently asked questions
About Stationsstraat 100, Utrecht
Is €2,100 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €2,100 is above the neighbourhood average of €1,976 and the median of €1,858. At 98 square metres, that works out to about €21.43 per square metre, which is below the neighbourhood average of €25.27 per square metre. So while the total is on the high side, the price per square metre is actually more moderate than much of what is available in Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B, which is an official registration recorded in the national energy label register. A B label is considered efficient, meaning the home is likely to have relatively modest energy costs compared to less efficient labels. The label is a formal classification and does not by itself say anything about the condition of the building or its installations.
How busy is the neighbourhood really?

The reviewer describes it as "very busy and not accessible by car," though they note that being high up in the apartment building means you hardly notice the street noise.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
In terms of amenities it's wonderful to live in the centre, but it's also very busy and not accessible by car. Public transport is excellent. I never feel comfortable walking alone late at night because of all the homeless people and creepy individuals. There should be much more green space in the centre for my liking. It could be so much better. We do have a very nice green courtyard at the apartment complex.

How residents experience their district
De Nieuwegracht is een rustige en schone kant van het centrum van Utrecht. Aan de overkant ligt een mooi park en een grote weide. Hier is het over het algemeen rustig, soms helaas niet heel schoon. Op de wandelpaden liggen op sommige plekken erg veel sigaretten. De buurt is erg goed bereikbaar op de fiets en te voet. De auto is niet aan te raden, hoewel de Nieuwegracht in vergelijking met de Oudegracht en Twijnstraat veel makkelijker is voor auto's.
Auto-translated to English by AII live on the Singel, which is quite busy with traffic, but the streets behind it (between the Singel and the railway) are actually very quiet and peaceful. This is also because there are few amenities in this part. However, you can easily reach all necessary shops on foot. Due to the few cafés in these streets, there is little sense of community. The quiet streets behind the house can sometimes be scary when you have to walk through them at night. Especially the stretch from the central station to home passes dark parks and offices that are empty in the evening. Living on the Singel, apart from the traffic, is very nice because you can (run) along the Singel in the greenery straight away. Hygiene is fine. The bins are not often too full.
Auto-translated to English by AILiving so close to the city centre has pros and cons. Main con is noise. But we love how walkable this neighborhood is to everything in the city centre. We can't imagine living the same lifestyle if we live further away.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in the Zeven Steegjes all my life and really enjoy it here
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here my whole life and have always enjoyed it.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice area to live in. The location is pleasant, but it's the centre so there's almost always noise pollution. Of course that's to be expected. However, the surroundings aren't very hygienic. In the courtyard where we live, there are many restaurants that dump their waste in the alleys. That's a shame.
Auto-translated to English by AIStreet full of shops and cosiness. Nice and bustling sometimes also noisy but that's not the residents' fault haha

Auto-translated to English by AILeuke gemixte buurt waar mensen oog voor elkaar hebben en het rustig wonen is. Het grootste voordeel is dat alle voorzieningen dichtbij zijn zoals Leidsche Rijn centrum, winkelcentrum parkwijk, bushalte, treinstation, scholen, sportclubs, parken, bioscoop en horeca.
Auto-translated to English by AIHeerlijk rustige buurt op slechts 20 minuten afstand van het centrum van Utrecht. Park Hoge Weide, scholen, supermarkten en sportvoorzieningen zijn om de hoek.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighborhood is considered safe, has an active and engaged community, and is well maintained. Neighborhood relations are good. Residents have access to quality housing, reputable schools, and attractive green spaces such as Wilhelminapark, Oosterspoorbaan and Minstroom. The centre is within reach, and Oost offers a nice number of shops.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy, student-like, park on the doorstep, where people sit when the weather is nice. Pub in the neighbourhood, shopping centre within walking distance and Kanaalstraat nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AILunetten zuid is a fairly extensive area, but there are common characteristics: There is little traffic on the streets, even the ring road is relatively quiet. Many houses are situated around a shared green space with some play facilities. This quickly creates a bond with the neighbours. Because Lunetten is separated from the city by a park and forts, which are part of the UNESCO heritage, it has some village-like features. If you value your privacy and don't like contact, then Leidsche rijn is more likely a place where you'll feel at home. Lunetten is not a place of high fences, but rather has a scent of granola with a hint of wokeness. If you feel at home with that, you are very welcome, but if you are not willing to do something for the neighbourhood or your neighbours, there are plenty of other places where you will feel at home.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in Zuilen for 26 years and still consider it one of the best neighbourhoods in Utrecht. With shops, schools, buses and the train station all nearby, everything is within reach. And with the beautiful Julianapark just around the corner, the area also has a lovely place to relax. As far as I'm concerned, an absolute top location.
Auto-translated to English by AIEspecially great that there are so many nice shops in the area. The walks to the Muntkade and Park Oog en Al also often make my day. The house I live in is old and hasn't been properly maintained by the landlord for a long time.
