About Oudegracht 38C, Utrecht
The asking price is 28% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€538,786), but the studio is also smaller than average (36 m² vs 74 m²). The price per m² works out to about €10,722, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €7,545 per m². So while the total price is lower, you're paying a premium for the compact size and location.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high heating costs, especially in winter. The building dates from 1905, so it likely has single glazing and poor insulation. In the neighbourhood, 38.5% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for an older property in the city centre.
The nearest train station is 2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride. Utrecht Centraal is the main station, with connections to the rest of the country.
The neighbourhood is very urban, with a high density of addresses (6,553 per km²). It's popular with young people and singles: 51% of households are single-person, and the average household size is just 1.4. There are few families with children (only 120 out of 1,940 households). The area has a lively, central feel with many restaurants and shops nearby.
