Van Sijpesteijnkade 13C
Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs · 3521 AH Utrecht
A modern apartment in the heart of Utrecht
This apartment on the Van Sijpesteijnkade sits right in the middle of the city's energy, a stone's throw from the station and all the bustle of the centre. Built in 2021, it's a contemporary home with an A+ energy label, so it's very efficient to run. The 72 m² floor plan is compact but well thought out. At €1,827 per month, the rent sat just below the average for apartments in Utrecht, which made it a keen option for the size and age. This home has not been online since 28 September 2026.
The Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs neighbourhood
This is city living at its most intense, with the station, offices and shops all around. One resident describes it as: "Busy but because the apartment is high up you hardly notice it!" They add: "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." The same resident notes they don't always feel comfortable walking alone late at night, and would like more green space, though they do appreciate the green courtyard at the complex. Based on one review, it's a mixed picture, but the convenience is undeniable. The area is dominated by young professionals, with most households being single people. The Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs neighbourhood is one of the most densely populated in the city.
Life on the street
Daily life here is about convenience. For groceries, a SPAR is just around the corner, with an AH to go and a full Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. For school runs, Kindercampus Molenpark is a ten-minute walk, and the Christelijk Gymnasium Utrecht is similarly close for secondary education. The station is a short walk, making commutes easy. The centre's restaurants and cafes are on your doorstep, and the green courtyard offers a quiet escape from the busy streets. The municipality of Utrecht provides all the urban amenities you could want.
