Rivierenwijk, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis 1933 terraced house on Runstraat sits in Utrecht's Rivierenwijk, a neighbourhood that's very much alive with change. With 90 m² of living space and a 98 m² plot, it's a classic city home with an energy label F, so heating costs are something to factor in. At €549,000, the asking price is 17% above the neighbourhood average of €470,630, which puts it on the high side compared to other terraced houses in Utrecht.
Rivierenwijk is a densely populated area (over 4,700 addresses per km²) with a mix of families and singles. Residents give it a 7.03 out of 10 based on three reviews. One resident calls it a "beautiful neighbourhood" that keeps improving, especially with upgrades to the Jutfaseweg. Another describes it as "cosy, accessible but lacks some green", though a park is just a couple of streets away. A third review is less positive, mentioning safety concerns and litter. So it's a neighbourhood with real character, but not without its rough edges. For more context, see the neighbourhood Rivierenwijk.
For your morning bread and groceries, Coop is on your doorstep, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Lidl is a five-minute walk. Schools are close too: KBS Gertrudis primary school is a couple of streets away, and De Wereldwijzer is just around the corner. The neighbourhood is part of the municipality Utrecht, which means you're well connected to the city centre and beyond.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Beumer and Funda. The agent is Beumer.

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.
Auto-translated to English by AII can get to almost all my groceries or other necessities within 5 minutes by bike. But I do miss some green.

About Runstraat 26, Utrecht
The asking price of €549,000 is 17% above the average asking price in Rivierenwijk (€470,630) and also above the median of €476,000. Recently sold homes in the neighbourhood went for an average of €520,196, so this listing is on the high side. The 90 m² floor area and energy label F may not justify the premium for all buyers.
Energy label F indicates poor energy efficiency, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a better-rated home. In Rivierenwijk, only about 37% of homes have label A or better, while 27% have label D or lower. This house falls into the least efficient category, so budgeting for energy bills is important.
One resident review mentions safety concerns, including drug trading and litter, giving the neighbourhood a 5.83 out of 10. However, another review rates it 8.5 and highlights improvements. The CBS data shows 358 total crimes in the area, but without a per-capita comparison, it's hard to draw firm conclusions. It's a mixed picture.
Several primary schools are within walking distance: KBS Gertrudis (168 m), De Wereldwijzer (279 m), and OBS Maaspleinschool (358 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 0.8 km away. There are also childcare options nearby, with a day-care centre at 0.4 km.
The nearest train station is 1.3 km from the house, which is about a 15-minute walk or a short bike ride. This makes commuting by rail quite convenient from this location.
Coop is just 232 m away, Albert Heijn at 399 m, and Lidl at 487 m, all within a five-minute walk. For more variety, PLUS is 656 m away. Daily grocery shopping is very easy from this address.
