Bleekstraat en omgeving, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with presence. A 19th-century townhouse on one of Utrecht's most handsome canals, with a modern energy label A, a rare combination. At 143 m² it is spacious, and the price of €995,000 is on the high side, even for this sought-after street. It is the most expensive of the three homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood, and 75% above the average asking price of €567,167. For context, that average is pulled down by smaller properties; this home is 55% larger than the neighbourhood average of 92 m². If you are looking at terraced houses in Utrecht, this is a distinctive option.
The neighbourhood Bleekstraat en omgeving is the historic heart of Utrecht. With 530 residents in 267 homes, it is densely populated, 5,619 addresses per km², making it very strongly urban. Most households are single-person (235 out of 350), and only 40 households have children. The streets are lively, with restaurants just around the corner and a park a couple of streets away. No resident reviews are available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from the data: a central, bustling area where most homes were built before 1945 (100%) and half have an energy label D or lower, though this home is a clear exception with its A label.
Daily life here is wonderfully convenient. For groceries, the Coop is on your doorstep, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. For school runs, the Agatha Snellenschool (primary) is a five-minute walk away, and the KBS Gertrudis (primary) is a couple of streets further. Secondary education is also close: the Utrechts Stedelijk Gymnasium is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Utrecht provides all the urban amenities you would expect from a city centre.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Grifhorst Makelaardij Exclusief and also appears on Huispedia, so it is available through several channels.

About Catharijnesingel 103, Utrecht
The asking price is 75% above the neighbourhood average of €567,167, but this home is also 55% larger than the average (143 m² vs 92 m²). It is the most expensive of the three homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood. Given its size, central location, and energy label A, the price is on the high side but reflects the premium for a spacious, efficient townhouse on the Catharijnesingel.
An A label means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low heating and electricity bills compared to older homes in the neighbourhood, half of which have a D label or worse. The exact costs depend on usage, but the label is a strong positive for long-term affordability.
