Schepenbuurt is a densely urban pocket of Utrecht, with over 3,100 addresses per km². It's a young area: nearly half the residents are between 25 and 45, and most households are singles or couples without children. The one resident review on Buurtje gives it a 4.38, but the feedback is mixed: "The neighbourhood is chaos and the people are racist and angry." They add that while it used to be fun and cosy, recent changes have made it feel less safe, with fast cars and careless scooters. That's just one voice, but it's worth noting. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Schepenbuurt, Cartesiusweg e.o..
Daily errands are easy: Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and PLUS is a couple of streets away. For schools, Basisschool Jules Verne is a five-minute walk, and Van Asch van Wijckschool is about the same distance. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and a park or garden is on your doorstep, perfect for a quick breather. The municipality Utrecht keeps the city well-connected, so you're never far from what you need.

My experience in the neighbourhood used to be very good. It was fun and cosy. Now there are some people living there who make it a lot less cosy and cause unjustified nuisance. You are wrongly accused and the police are called immediately. Personally, I don't think it's a safe neighbourhood, cars also drive very fast and there are many children who are careless with scooters or fatbikes.
