NeighbourhoodThis 1930s corner house on Makassarstraat sits in a lively part of Utrecht-West. With 60 m² of living space and a 79 m² plot, it's compact but full of original charm. The energy label is D, so heating costs will be something to factor in. At €525,000, the price is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €477,364, partly because corner houses are less common. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Utrecht tend to command a premium.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a beautiful neighbourhood with well-maintained houses and gardens, but there is little contact between residents. Although the surroundings are inviting and tidy, you hardly see people on the street and there is little interaction. Everyone seems to go their own way, which makes the neighbourhood, despite its beauty, a bit lonely.
