Bataviastraat 5

A classic Utrecht terrace house with an A label

This 1929 terrace house on Bataviastraat feels like a proper city home, with a neat front garden and a sunny 88 m² plot. At 90 m², it's a compact but well-laid-out house, and with an energy label A, you won't be left with sky-high bills. The asking price of €569,000 is 18% above the neighbourhood average of €481,316, so it's on the high side, but then, this is a well-maintained, energy-efficient home in a sought-after part of town. For context, terraced houses in Utrecht vary widely, but this one stands out for its efficiency.

Laan van Nieuw-Guinea, Spinozaweg e.o.

This is a neighbourhood with two distinct personalities, based on two reviews. One resident calls it "Cosy" and says: "Cosy, student-like, park on the doorstep, where people sit when the weather is nice. Pub in the neighbourhood, shopping centre within walking distance and Kanaalstraat nearby." The other gives it a 7.0 and says: "It's a beautiful neighbourhood with well-maintained houses and gardens, but there is little contact between residents. Although the surroundings are inviting and tidy, you hardly see people on the street and there is little interaction." So you get a lovely, tidy area with a park and amenities, but don't expect a close-knit community. The neighbourhood Laan van Nieuw-Guinea, Spinozaweg e.o. is densely populated, with many young adults and singles.

Life on the street

For daily shopping, you have an Aldi and Nettorama just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn a ten-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within a few streets: Christelijke Jenaplanschool De Brug is a couple of minutes' walk, and Agora Hub030 and Van Asch van Wijckschool are also close by. The park is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just around the corner. The municipality Utrecht offers all the city's amenities, but this street itself is quiet and residential.
