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.

About Van Sijpesteijnkade 509, Utrecht
Yes, it is well below the neighbourhood average. The median rent in Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs is €2,320, and the average per m² is €26.72. At €1,180 for 50 m², you are paying about €23.60 per m², which is 47% less than the average. This makes it a very competitive option for a central Utrecht apartment.
It is extremely central, right next to Utrecht Centraal station and the Jaarbeurs. One resident describes it as busy but notes that being high up in the building makes it quiet inside. Public transport is excellent, but the area is not car-friendly. Some feel less safe late at night due to homeless people, and there is a desire for more green space, though the apartment complex has a nice courtyard.
It has an A energy label, which is very efficient. This means low heating costs and a modern, well-insulated building. The apartment was built in 2019, so it meets current standards for energy performance.
A SPAR supermarket is just around the corner (202 m), and an AH to go is a couple of streets away (228 m). A full Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk (303 m). Several primary schools are within a ten-minute walk, including odbs Puntenburg and Kindercampus Molenpark. The train station is 1.4 km away, about a 15-minute walk.
At 50 m² with one bedroom (typical for an apartment of this size), it is ideal for a single person or a couple. The open-plan layout common in modern builds makes the space feel larger. The energy label A keeps running costs low.
The rent of €1,180 is significantly lower than the neighbourhood average of €2,239 and the median of €2,320. It is even below the minimum rent in the area (€1,146). This is partly because the apartment is smaller than average (50 m² vs 88 m²), but the price per m² is also below average.
