Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis 2019-built apartment on Van Sijpesteijnkade sits right in the thick of things. At 50 m² it's compact, but the energy label A keeps running costs low. The rent of €1,304 is remarkably keen, 42% below the neighbourhood average of €2,239, partly because the home is smaller than the local norm. For context, apartments in Utrecht vary widely in price and size.
This is the busiest part of Utrecht, right by the station and trade fair. One resident sums it up: "Busy but because the apartment is high up you hardly notice it!" They appreciate the amenities, "it's wonderful to live in the centre", but note downsides: "it's also very busy and not accessible by car. Public transport is excellent." Safety comes up: "I never feel comfortable walking alone late at night because of all the homeless people and creepy individuals." The resident also wishes for more green space, though there's "a very nice green courtyard at the apartment complex." The neighbourhood Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs is extremely urban, with over 5,200 addresses per km² and mostly young singles.
For daily groceries, SPAR is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, like odbs Puntenburg and KBS De Pijlstaart. The central station is a ten-minute walk, making it easy to get anywhere. The municipality Utrecht offers all the cultural and dining options you'd expect from a city centre.

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.
