Lombok-West is a dense, urban area with a real village feel. Two residents reviewed it: one calls it a "Lively neighbourhood" and says, "Especially great that there are so many nice shops in the area. The walks to the Muntkade and Park Oog en Al also often make my day." Another describes it as "Close to Utrecht city centre" and notes, "You're a stone's throw from Utrecht Central, the largest train station in the Netherlands." The neighbourhood has a mix of young professionals and families, with many single-person households. Most homes were built before 1945, giving the streets a classic Utrecht character. For more on the area, see the Lombok-West neighbourhood.
For your morning bread, Aldi and Nettorama are just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. Primary schools like Van Asch van Wijckschool and Christelijke Jenaplanschool De Brug are a couple of streets away, while secondary school Christelijk Gymnasium Utrecht is within a ten-minute walk.

Especially great that there are so many nice shops in the area. The walks to the Muntkade and Park Oog en Al also often make my day. The house I live in is old and hasn't been properly maintained by the landlord for a long time.
Auto-translated to English by AIYou're a stone's throw from Utrecht Central, the largest train station in the Netherlands. If you walk further, you'll end up in Hoog Catharijne, a mega shopping centre where you can buy everything you're looking for. There's also the Munt, a wonderful historical spot with a beautiful view over the water.

About Padangstraat 82, Utrecht
The asking price of €395,000 is 24% below the average asking price in Lombok-West (€520,333). However, the floor area of 42 m² is 45% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 77 m². So the price per square metre is higher than average, but the total price is relatively low for the area.
The home has energy label D. This is a middle-of-the-road label: the home is not particularly efficient, but not extremely inefficient either. You can expect moderate heating costs. In Lombok-West, over half of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
Utrecht Centraal station is 1.7 km from the home. That's about a 20-minute walk or a 7-minute cycle. The neighbourhood reviews mention being a 'stone's throw' from the station, so it's very accessible.
Aldi and Nettorama are just around the corner (about 280 m), and MCD is about 500 m away. Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk (687 m). The neighbourhood reviews highlight 'so many nice shops in the area', so you'll have plenty of options for daily groceries.
Several primary schools are within walking distance: Van Asch van Wijckschool (352 m), Christelijke Jenaplanschool De Brug (365 m), and Kindercampus Molenpark (516 m). For secondary education, Christelijk Gymnasium Utrecht is 692 m away.
Currently, 18 homes are for sale in Lombok-West, with an average asking price of €520,333 and an average floor area of 77 m². The median price is €512,000. So this studio is one of the more affordable options in the neighbourhood.
Lombok-West is a very urban area (address density 4517 per km²) with a lively, village-like atmosphere. Residents appreciate the shops, the proximity to the city centre, and the walks to the Muntkade and Park Oog en Al. The population is diverse, with many young adults and single-person households.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. Given that this is a studio in a 1904 building, it is unlikely to have private outdoor space, but you are close to Park Oog en Al (0.5 km) and the Muntkade.
