The Schepenbuurt, Cartesiusweg e.o.
The Schepenbuurt, Cartesiusweg e.o. neighbourhood is a mixed area with a young population, many single-person households, and a lively, sometimes chaotic energy. One resident describes it as "chaos" with "racist and angry" people, though the same review notes that the area used to be "fun and cosy" and still has its positives. The review is based on a single opinion, so it reflects one person's experience rather than a consensus. The streets are busy with fast cars and children on scooters, which is worth knowing if you value quiet.
Life on the street
For daily errands, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with a PLUS a couple of streets away and a Boni within a ten-minute walk. School runs are straightforward too, with Basisschool Jules Verne and Van Asch van Wijckschool both a short stroll from the front door. The train station is a ten-minute walk, which makes commuting easy. This part of the municipality of Utrecht has everything you need within reach, without the hustle of the city centre.

Frequently asked questions
About Tussenbusstraat 474, Utrecht
Is €1,019 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is 46% below the neighbourhood average of €1,883, though the floor area of 57 m² is 30% smaller than the average of 82 m². Compared with other rentals in the area, this price is on the low side, especially for a new build with an A++ label. It reflects the smaller size, but the monthly cost is still competitive.
What does the A++ energy label mean for my bills?
An A++ label is the most efficient category, so you can expect very low energy costs. The label is an official registration and indicates the home's energy performance, but it does not say anything about the condition of the building itself. For a new build from 2023, the label aligns with modern standards.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The Albert Heijn is 375 metres away, which is about a five-minute walk. A PLUS is 640 metres away, and a Boni is just over a kilometre. For everyday groceries, you have several options within easy walking distance, so you won't need to rely on a car for a quick shop.
What are the schools like nearby?
There are several primary schools within a short walk. Basisschool Jules Verne is 525 metres away, Van Asch van Wijckschool is 590 metres, and Agora Hub030 is 745 metres. For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.8 kilometres away. The area has a good spread of educational options for families.
How is the neighbourhood for safety and noise?
One resident review describes the neighbourhood as chaotic, with fast cars and children on scooters or fatbikes, and mentions feeling unsafe at times. The same review notes it used to be "fun and cosy" and that the issues come from specific individuals. With only one review, it's a single perspective, so your own impression may differ.
Is the train station within walking distance?
Yes, the train station is 0.8 kilometres away, which is roughly a ten-minute walk. That makes it convenient for commuting or getting into the city centre without needing to drive. The exact station name is not listed, but the distance is short enough for a comfortable stroll.
