A studio with a view in Utrecht West
This studio sits on the fourth floor of a 1968 portiekflat in Welgelegen, Den Hommel, a lively part of Utrecht West. The flat had a free view and a balcony, and the last known asking price of €289,000 was on the high side for a studio of this size. That said, it was 26% below the average asking price of €391,000 in the neighbourhood, and the price per square metre worked out at €7,410 based on the agent's listing. For context, [studios in Utrecht]( /koopwoningen/utrecht/studios/) vary widely in price depending on location and condition. This home has not been online since 9 September 2026.
Inside the flat
According to the agent, the home had two rooms, one bedroom and one bathroom on a single floor, with a living area of 39 m². The BAG registration records 40 m², so there is a slight difference between the two sources. The flat had double glazing and was heated by district heating, and it was offered in full ownership. There was a balcony, and the monthly homeowners' association fee was €152. The energy label was B, which was an efficient label, so energy costs should be manageable.
