Rivierenwijk is a densely populated area just south of Utrecht's city centre, with over 9,000 residents. It's a mix of families and singles, about a quarter of households have children, and many live alone. The neighbourhood scores a 7 out of 10 from residents, but opinions vary. One resident calls it a "beautiful neighbourhood" that's improving, especially around the Jutfaseweg. Another says it's "cosy and accessible" but misses green spaces. A third review is less positive, mentioning drug issues and poor rubbish collection. So it's a place with character, but not without its challenges. Learn more about the neighbourhood Rivierenwijk.
For your daily shopping, you have a Coop just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn and Lidl within a five-minute walk. Schools are close too: KBS Gertrudis and De Wereldwijzer are both a couple of streets away. The area is very urban, with over 4,700 addresses per km², you're right in the thick of things. A park or public garden is just a few minutes' walk away, and the train station is about a ten-minute walk. For more on the wider area, see the municipality Utrecht.

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 Volkerakstraat 58, Utrecht
Yes, it's in line with the market. The median price in Rivierenwijk is €476,000, and the average price per m² is €6,455. At 80 m², that would give an average of about €516,000, so this home is priced slightly below that. Given the compact plot and energy label C, it's a reasonable asking price.
The energy label is C, which is average for a 1930s home. It means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs, not as low as a modern A-label home, but not as high as an old G-label property.
Rivierenwijk has a mix of families and singles. About 28% of households have children, and there are several primary schools within walking distance, like KBS Gertrudis and De Wereldwijzer. However, some residents mention safety concerns and a lack of green space, so it's worth visiting to see if it suits your family.
The closest supermarket is a Coop at 242 metres, just around the corner. An Albert Heijn and a Lidl are both within 500 metres, so you have plenty of options for daily groceries.
The nearest train station is 1.3 km away, about a 15-minute walk. That's convenient for commuting to Utrecht Centraal or other cities.
The neighbourhood recorded 358 total crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for a residential area. Some resident reviews mention drug issues and littering, so it's something to be aware of.
