NeighbourhoodThis pre-war terraced house on Gerard Doustraat has a warm, lived-in feel from the moment you step inside.

The asking price of €1,125,000 is 43% above the neighbourhood average of €784,250, which reflects the larger-than-average floor area and the sought-after character of this street.

The Schildersbuurt is a quiet, leafy pocket of Utrecht Oost, with a strong sense of community. Based on three resident reviews, people appreciate the peace and the many cats and dogs around. One resident says: "I've lived here my whole life, and there are many good things about this neighbourhood, like the peace and quiet and the number of cats and dogs." Another notes: "The neighbourhood concierge is a great addition and ensures a pleasant atmosphere." The only downsides mentioned are occasional street rubbish and sewer smells. Most homes here were built before 1945, and the area is densely populated with a mix of families and singles. For more on the area, see the Schildersbuurt neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here my whole life, and there are many good things about this neighbourhood, like the peace and quiet and the number of cats and dogs (which I really like). Also nice people!=) But there's always a lot of rubbish on the street and rubbish bags next to the neighbourhood container. Not very nice.... it also smells here sometimes, but that's probably due to the sewerage. In terms of facilities and surroundings, it's a fine neighbourhood to live in.
Auto-translated to English by AII am very satisfied with the neighbourhood where I live. The neighbourhood concierge is a great addition and ensures a pleasant atmosphere. The cosy shops in the area make shopping a pleasure, especially with Wilhelminapark nearby. And the Kohnstammschool is a hidden gem that makes the neighbourhood special for children's education.

About Gerard Doustraat 5, Utrecht
The asking price is 43% above the neighbourhood average of €784,250, but the floor area (167 m²) is 44% larger than the average of 116 m². So the price per square metre is roughly in line with the market. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the pre-war character.
The energy label is E, which is common for a house built in 1911. This means heating costs will be higher than in a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical for the area.
The train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride.
Primary schools within walking distance include Utrechtse Schoolvereniging (285 m), Prof. Kohnstammschool (560 m), and KBS Stepping Stones (611 m). For secondary education, St. Bonifatiuscollege is 475 m away.
With 167 m² of floor space, it likely has multiple bedrooms, but the exact number is not provided.
The Schildersbuurt has a mix of households: about 460 with children and 465 without. Residents mention a pleasant atmosphere and good schools. The nearby Wilhelminapark is a plus for children.
