Dichterswijk, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Voorsterbeeklaan sits in Dichterswijk, a Utrecht neighbourhood that has seen a lot of new development. Built in 2012, it has an A+ energy label, so it's very efficient. At €550,000, the price is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but that's partly because the floor area of 72 m² is smaller than the typical 96 m² in the area. For more context, see apartments in Utrecht.
Dichterswijk has a mixed reputation. One resident, TopBoy28, says: "This neighbourhood used to be a deprived area with many problems. Now a lot of new buildings have been built. But behind the walls of the houses, there are still problems. Apart from that, there are many racists living here. The neighbourhood has been nicely renovated and looks better than before." The area is very urban, with a high density of addresses. Most households are single people, and the population is young, with many residents between 25 and 45. For more on the area, see neighbourhood Dichterswijk.
For daily shopping, you have a PLUS supermarket just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. There's also a Coop within walking distance. For families, the Openbare Basisschool De Kleine Dichter is on your doorstep, and the Descartes school for secondary education is a ten-minute walk away. Another primary school, KBS Gertrudis, is also within easy reach. For more on the wider area, see municipality Utrecht.
