Schildersbuurt, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis 27 m² studio on Jan van Scorelstraat is a cosy base in Utrecht's lively Oost district. With an energy label E and a 1929 build, it has character but will need some attention on heating costs. At €249,000, the price is 68% below the neighbourhood average of €784,250, which is keen given the small size, you're paying for the location rather than square metres. For context, studios in Utrecht typically command a premium per m².
Residents give the Schildersbuurt an 8.96 out of 10. One calls it "great" and another says: "I've lived here my whole life, and there are many good things about this neighbourhood, like the peace and quiet and the number of cats and dogs." A third notes: "The neighbourhood concierge is a great addition and ensures a pleasant atmosphere." The area is densely populated with many young adults and singles, and most homes were built before 1945. It's a very urban setting, the neighbourhood Schildersbuurt is known for its lively streets and close-knit feel.
Your daily shopping is a 43-metre walk to the PLUS supermarket, literally on your doorstep. For a wider selection, Albert Heijn is just around the corner. The Utrechtse Schoolvereniging primary school is a couple of streets away, and the St. Bonifatiuscollege secondary school is a five-minute walk. Wilhelminapark is a five-minute stroll, perfect for a weekend break. The municipality Utrecht offers excellent city-wide amenities, with the city centre a short bike ride away.

Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here my whole life, and there are many good things about this neighbourhood, like the peace and quiet and the number of cats and dogs (which I really like). Also nice people!=) But there's always a lot of rubbish on the street and rubbish bags next to the neighbourhood container. Not very nice.... it also smells here sometimes, but that's probably due to the sewerage. In terms of facilities and surroundings, it's a fine neighbourhood to live in.
Auto-translated to English by AII am very satisfied with the neighbourhood where I live. The neighbourhood concierge is a great addition and ensures a pleasant atmosphere. The cosy shops in the area make shopping a pleasure, especially with Wilhelminapark nearby. And the Kohnstammschool is a hidden gem that makes the neighbourhood special for children's education.

About Jan van Scorelstraat 142B, Utrecht
At €249,000, this studio is priced 68% below the Schildersbuurt average of €784,250, but that average includes much larger homes. The price per m² works out to about €9,222, which is above the neighbourhood average of €7,327 per m², reflecting the premium for a small, entry-level property in a popular area. Given the compact size and energy label E, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a studio in this location.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In the Schildersbuurt, 50% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a 1929 building. The listing does not mention insulation or double glazing, so it's worth factoring in potential upgrades.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride.
Based on three reviews, residents appreciate the peace and quiet, the many cats and dogs, and the neighbourhood concierge who fosters a pleasant atmosphere. Some mention that rubbish on the streets and occasional smells from the sewerage can be a downside. Overall, the Schildersbuurt scores 8.96 out of 10, indicating high satisfaction.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not provided, so it's safe to assume there is no private outdoor space. The nearby Wilhelminapark, just 0.4 km away, offers a green escape.
The property is listed as a studio, which typically means one open-plan living/sleeping area plus a separate kitchen and bathroom. The exact layout is not described in the listing, but with 27 m², it is a compact single room.
