Don't dare to go outside in the evenings anymore
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's always safe during the day, but walking the streets at night in the dark is impossible as a woman. Also often seen police chases near shopping centre Nova. Housing is good. More and nicer greenery would improve the neighbourhood. As would making it car-free and banning mopeds.

About Marco Pololaan 132, Utrecht
At €800,000, this is the most expensive home currently for sale in Kanaleneiland-Zuid, where the average asking price is €390,995. The price is 105% above the neighbourhood average, but the house is also 91% larger than the average (170 m² vs 89 m²). Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the corner-house layout.
The energy label is E, which is below average for the neighbourhood, only 24% of homes in Kanaleneiland-Zuid have a label D or lower. An E label means higher energy costs, so you should expect significant heating bills. The house was built in 1962, so insulation may not be up to modern standards.
