About Rijnlaan 38A, Utrecht
The asking price of €335,000 is 29% below the average asking price in Rivierenwijk (€470,630). However, the home is also smaller than average: 38 m² versus 77 m². The price per square metre works out to about €8,816, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €6,455 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium for the compact size.
The home has energy label D. In Rivierenwijk, about 27% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is on the less efficient side. You can expect higher energy costs compared to a home with label A or B. The neighbourhood has 37% of homes with label A or better, so this studio is below average in energy performance.
Residents have mixed views. One review mentions drug dealing and litter, while another praises the area's beauty. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 358, but without a per capita figure it's hard to compare.
The nearest train station is 1.3 km away, about a 15-minute walk. The city centre is easily reachable by bike.
Yes, a park or public garden is just 0.3 km away, so you can enjoy some greenery within a few minutes' walk. One resident noted that they miss green in the neighbourhood, but the nearby park helps.
Given the compact size and price, this studio is likely aimed at first-time buyers or investors looking for a rental property. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of single-person households (about 55% of households), so it fits the local demographic.
