Rivierenwijk, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis modern terraced house on Croesestraat sits in a lively part of Utrecht, with a generous 99 m² of living space and a surprisingly large plot. Built in 2001 and carrying an A energy label, it is efficient and well-insulated. The asking price of €550,000 is 17% above the neighbourhood average of €470,630, but the floor area is 29% larger than the local norm of 77 m², so the price is in line with what you get. For context, terraced houses in Utrecht vary widely, but this one stands out for its size and plot.
Rivierenwijk is a dense, urban area with a mix of families and singles. Based on three reviews, opinions are mixed. One resident calls it a "beautiful neighbourhood" that "keeps getting more beautiful, especially with the improvements to the Jutfaseweg." Another appreciates the convenience: "I can get to almost all my groceries or other necessities within 5 minutes by bike." But a third review flags safety concerns: "At the moment the neighbourhood is not very safe. Drugs are traded on the car park..." So it is a neighbourhood with contrasts. Most homes are pre-war, but this street has newer builds. For more on the area, see the Rivierenwijk neighbourhood.
Daily errands are easy: Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, and Coop and PLUS are just around the corner. For primary schools, KBS Gertrudis is a couple of streets away, and Openbare Basisschool De Kleine Dichter is a five-minute walk. The neighbourhood has a park or public garden within a five-minute walk, and the train station is a ten-minute walk away. The area is very urban, with a high address density, so everything feels close. For more on the wider area, see the municipality of Utrecht.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Gusto Casa and Huispedia. The agent is Gusto Casa.

Such a beautiful neighbourhood and it keeps getting more beautiful, especially with the improvements to the Jutfaseweg.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the moment the neighbourhood is not very safe. Drugs are traded on the car park, laughing gas is also used, cartridges lie on the car park. Then the rubbish bins... are emptied poorly, everyone dumps bulky waste next to them... So yes, the neighbourhood is going downhill fast! Enforcement is hard to find, as is the police.
