Wijk C is a compact, densely built neighbourhood right in Utrecht's historic centre. With 6,460 addresses per km², it's very strongly urban. Most residents live alone (705 of 1,390 inhabitants), and the average household size is just 1.4. The area is popular with 25- to 45-year-olds, who make up the largest age group. One resident sums it up: "Perfect location closer to city centre. Living so close to the city centre has pros and cons. Main con is noise. But we love how walkable this neighborhood is to everything in the city centre. We can't imagine living the same lifestyle if we live further away." That's the only review, but it captures the trade-off well. The neighbourhood Wijk C is all about being in the middle of the action.
For groceries, you have an AH to go just around the corner, a Jumbo a couple of streets away, and an Albert Heijn within a five-minute walk. For school runs, Montessori Kind Centrum LEF is a five-minute walk, and KBS De Pijlstaart is also close by. A restaurant is on your doorstep, and the library is a five-minute walk. The nearest park or public garden is a ten-minute walk away. The municipality Utrecht offers all the amenities you'd expect from a major city.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including DAK Woningbeleggingen.
