The Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs neighbourhood
[The Hoog-Catharijne NS en Jaarbeurs neighbourhood]( /buurt/hoog-catharijne-ns-en-jaarbeurs-utrecht/ ) is a dense, urban pocket with a very strong city feel. One resident describes it as: "Busy but because the apartment is high up you hardly notice it!" They add that "in terms of amenities it's wonderful to live in the centre, but it's also very busy and not accessible by car. Public transport is excellent." The same resident notes they "never feel comfortable walking alone late at night because of all the homeless people and creepy individuals," and wishes for "much more green space in the centre." Based on this single review, it's a mixed picture: brilliant for convenience, less so for peace of mind. The area is dominated by single-person households, with most residents in their late twenties to mid-forties.
