Frequently asked questions
About Van Heuven Goedhartplein 712, Utrecht
Is €1,450 a fair rent for this studio?
The rent is about 14% below the neighbourhood average of €1,689, which makes it keenly priced for the area.

Compared with other rentals in Kanaleneiland-Noord, this studio sits at the lower end of the price range, which reflects its compact size.
What does the A+ energy label mean for my bills?
An A+ label is the most efficient category, so you can expect relatively low energy costs. The label is an official registration, and it indicates that the home meets high standards for energy performance. This is particularly relevant for a studio, where heating and electricity bills are already modest due to the small floor area.
