Schildersbuurt, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on a quiet street in Utrecht's Schildersbuurt has a compact 70 m² floor plan spread over three floors. The energy label G means heating costs will be significant, but the asking price of €495,000 is 37% below the neighbourhood average of €784,250, a keen price for a home of this type. For context, terraced houses in Utrecht vary widely in price and condition.
The Schildersbuurt scores an 8.96 out of 10 from three resident reviews. 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. Also nice people!" Another notes: "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." The area is densely populated with many young adults and singles, and most homes were built before 1945. The neighbourhood Schildersbuurt is known for its pre-war character.
For daily groceries, the PLUS is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. The Utrechtse Schoolvereniging and Prof. Kohnstammschool are both within a five-minute walk, while St. Bonifatiuscollege is also close by. Wilhelminapark is a couple of streets away for a stroll. The municipality Utrecht offers extensive amenities, but the immediate area has everything you need on foot.

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 Van der Helststraat 9, Utrecht
The asking price of €495,000 is 37% below the neighbourhood average of €784,250, but the home is also smaller (70 m² vs 116 m² average) and has an energy label G. Given the compact size and poor energy efficiency, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a terraced house in need of modernisation in this area.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs are to be expected. In the Schildersbuurt, 50% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war house, but you should budget for significant energy bills.
The Schildersbuurt has a mix of households: about 460 with children and 465 without, plus many singles. Residents mention peace and quiet, a neighbourhood concierge, and good schools like the Prof. Kohnstammschool. However, one review notes rubbish on the streets and occasional smells from the sewerage.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle.
At 70 m², this home is 40% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 116 m². Terraced houses in the Schildersbuurt tend to be compact, but this one is on the smaller side even for the area.
