About Westinghousestraat 65, Utrecht
The asking price is above the neighbourhood median of €435,000 and the average of €477,718. However, it's a terraced house in a popular Utrecht neighbourhood, and similar homes often sell quickly. The price per m² works out at about €8,607, which is higher than the local average of €6,237 per m², partly because the house is smaller than typical.
The home has energy label C, which is decent for a 1915 house. It means the property is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs. In the neighbourhood, only about 13% of homes have label C or better, so this one is above average for its age.
The nearest train station is 1.8 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. Utrecht's main station is about 2.5 km from the neighbourhood, so you're well connected for commuting.
Elinkwijk is a mixed area with many singles (about 57% of households), but there are also families with children. The local primary schools are within walking distance, and there are several playgrounds and parks nearby. The area is very urban, so it's more suited to families who enjoy city life.
In the past year, sold homes in the neighbourhood took an average of 50 days to sell. That's fairly quick, indicating a healthy demand. With 31 homes currently for sale, there's some choice, but popular properties like this one may not last long.
The listing does not mention a garden, but the plot size of 70 m² suggests there is some outdoor space.
