Jan van Scorelstraat 142B
Schildersbuurt · 3583 CV Utrecht
A compact studio in the Schildersbuurt
This 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 had character but will need some attention on heating costs. At €249,000, the price was 68% below the neighbourhood average of €784,250, which was 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. This home has not been online since 10 July 2026.

Frequently asked questions
About Jan van Scorelstraat 142B, Utrecht
Was €249,000 a fair price for this studio?
At €249,000, this studio was priced 68% below the Schildersbuurt average of €784,250, but that average included much larger homes. The price per m² worked out to about €9,222, which was above the neighbourhood average of €7,327 per m², reflecting the premium for a small, entry-level property in a popular area.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. In the Schildersbuurt, 50% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a 1929 building.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride.
What are the neighbours like?
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.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The listing did 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.
