About Van Heuven Goedhartplein 649, Utrecht
Is the rent of €1,525 a month fair for this apartment?
The rent is about 10% below the neighbourhood average of €1,689, which makes it a keen price. However, the floor area of 50 m² is 35% smaller than the average of 77 m² in the area, so you are paying less but getting less space. Compared to other rentals in Kanaleneiland-Noord, where prices range from €1,190 to €2,100, this sits on the lower end, reflecting the smaller size.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A+, which is the most efficient category. This means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs.
