Frequently asked questions
About Van Vollenhovenlaan 509, Utrecht
Is €1,750 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,750 is above the neighbourhood average of €1,670 and the median of €1,730. However, this apartment has an A+ energy label, which is very efficient and keeps energy costs low. The 69 m² floor area is slightly smaller than the average of 85 m² for rentals in the area, so the price per square metre is higher than the neighbourhood norm.
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 low heating and electricity costs. The label is an official registration from EP-Online, confirming the property meets high energy performance standards.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away. This is a manageable distance for cycling or a short bus ride, though the tram running through the neighbourhood provides easy access to the city centre and other parts of Utrecht.
What are the nearby schools like?
There are several schools within walking distance. The Anne Frank primary school is 326 metres away, the Lukasschool is 372 metres, and the International school Utrecht is 479 metres. This makes the area convenient for families with children of different ages, including those seeking international education.
What supermarkets are close by?
A Jumbo supermarket is just 186 metres away, and an Albert Heijn is 220 metres, so daily shopping is very convenient. There is also a SPAR express 718 metres away for quick top-ups. The large shopping centre mentioned by residents is a five-minute walk, offering a wider range of shops.
How is the neighbourhood for safety and community?
Residents describe the area as fairly quiet with little unrest. One review notes: "There is little to no unrest in the area and there is also a police station close by." The same resident mentions that while there is no strong sense of community, neighbourhood drinks and a community centre help foster togetherness. The streets can be dirty at times, but volunteers help keep them clean.
