About Bolksbeekstraat 38, Utrecht
The asking price of €749,000 is 22% above the neighbourhood average of €616,429. However, this home is also 27% larger than the average (122 m² vs 96 m²). Given the quick sales in the area, homes sell in about 21 days, the price reflects both the size and the market conditions.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a house of this age. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern home. In the neighbourhood, about 67% of homes have label A or better, so this one is slightly less efficient than many nearby.
Dichterswijk has a mix of households: about 28% are families with children, while a large share are singles. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and the area has parks and playgrounds. However, one resident notes that despite renovations, some social issues remain.
Utrecht Centraal station is 1.3 km away, about a 15-minute walk. The high address density (4309 addresses per km²) means frequent services.
At 122 m², this home is 27% larger than the neighbourhood average of 96 m². The plot of 86 m² is also generous for a terraced house in this part of Utrecht. Most homes in Dichterswijk are smaller, so this offers more space.
Parking details are not provided in the listing. In central Utrecht, parking is often on-street with permits. Given the urbanity level (very strong), you may need to check with the municipality for permit availability and costs.
The listing does not mention any specific issues. The home was built in 1926, so it may have older features. The energy label C suggests some insulation, but a full survey would reveal any hidden problems.
