Frequently asked questions
About Barnsteenlaan 13, Utrecht
Is €2,950 a fair price for this home?
The asking rent of €2,950 is significantly above the neighbourhood average of €1,083 for rentals. However, this is an end-of-terrace house, which is a less common property type in this area, and the price reflects that. Whether it's fair depends on your budget and what you value in a home.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B. This is an official registration from EP-Online, indicating the home's energy performance. A B label is relatively efficient, so you can expect moderate energy costs, but the label itself doesn't tell you about the condition of the insulation or heating system.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is about 0.9 km away, which is roughly a ten-minute walk. This makes it easy to get to Utrecht Central and other destinations without needing a car.
What are the neighbours like?

Is there a garden?
The listing does not mention a garden. The plot size is 108 m², but that doesn't necessarily mean there's a garden. You would need to check the property details for outdoor space.
How many bedrooms does this home have?
The listing does not specify the number of bedrooms. The floor area is 86 m², but the layout is not described. You would need to contact the agent for details on the room configuration.
