The neighbourhood is Hoograven, quiet living, street. I've lived in Hoograven for 53 years, lovely neighbourhood. It's always tidy, nothing strange so far. Neighbours are nice. We also have a neighbourhood app and will join the neighbourhood party next year. There are no things broken, then you report it and get it fixed. We also have all those bikes standing and lying around, someone has said something about it, but we don't have any trouble with it and now we're on the neighbourhood app, lovely.

About Wickenburglaan 36, Utrecht
The asking price is €459,000, which is above the neighbourhood average of €429,000. However, this house is 100 m², while the average sold home in the area is 73 m². So you're paying more, but getting significantly more space. The price per m² works out to about €4,590, compared to the neighbourhood average of €5,940 per m², so on a per-square-metre basis, it's actually below average.
Energy label F means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher gas and electricity bills compared to a home with a better label. In this neighbourhood, 60% of available homes have label A+ and 40% have label A, so this house stands out as less efficient. It's worth factoring in potential upgrade costs for insulation or heating improvements.
At 100 m², this house is 37% larger than the average home for sale in Nieuw Hoograven-Noord, which is 73 m². The plot of 179 m² also gives you a decent garden. Most homes in the area were built after 1990 (80%), while this one dates from 1959, so it has a different character and potentially more solid construction.
