Key Features
Description
This apartment is located within the Ludens Joy project, which forms part of the larger Merwede development in Utrecht. The property is classified as a 2-room apartment, designated as type S within the project. The living space measures approximately 55 square meters and includes one bedroom. The apartment features a living room with an open kitchen, a practically arranged bathroom, and access to a private balcony or terrace. The outdoor space ranges from 5 to 12 square meters depending on the specific unit and its position within the building. Residents can choose between balconies facing east, south, or west based on the location of the apartment within the structure.
The apartments in this project are situated from the ground floor up to the fourth floor. Units on the ground floor benefit from extra high ceilings measuring 3.00 meters, creating a spacious feel. All apartments come with standard high doors throughout. The purchase price includes both the kitchen and the complete sanitary fixtures and tiling in the bathroom, which means buyers do not need to budget separately for these essential installations.
Important conditions apply to this property type. An anti-speculation clause is in place, and there is a self-occupancy requirement for the type S apartments. These conditions are designed to ensure the homes are used as primary residences rather than investment properties.
The Ludens Joy project is a collaborative development by AM and Synchroon, comprising four residential blocks named Joy, Grow, Pulse, and Flow. In total, the first phase includes 72 homes, consisting of 67 apartments and 5 city houses. The apartments range from 2-room to 4-room layouts with living areas between 54 and 105 square meters. Purchase prices for the apartments start at 432,000 euros and go up to 721,000 euros. The five city houses are larger at 152 to 153 square meters, featuring four bedrooms, a study, and two bathrooms, with prices between 990,000 and 995,000 euros.
The Merwede district is positioned between the Europalaan and the Merwedekanaal in Utrecht. The northern boundary is formed by the Koningin Wilhelminalaan, while the southern edge borders the Beneluxlaan. The neighborhood is designed as a car-free area where walking and cycling paths define the streetscape. The environment is characterized by green spaces and water features.
The Ludens concept focuses on community and social interaction. Shared entrances, a neighborhood center, and a youth lounge are incorporated into the design to encourage residents to meet and connect. The inner garden and shared rooftop terrace provide additional communal spaces for relaxation and socializing. The car-free layout is intended to create a safe environment where children can play freely and neighbors naturally encounter each other.
The building will have mechanical ventilation as a standard feature. The property is fully insulated, though an energy label is not yet available given that the construction year is 2026. The property is offered as full ownership (volle eigendom) and comes with an SWK Guarantee Certificate, which provides buyers with construction quality assurance for new build properties in the Netherlands.
The cadastral reference for this property is UTRECHT R 1492. The property is located on a quiet road within a residential area. As this is a new development project, the homeowners association has not yet been formally established, which explains why the VvE checklist items all show negative responses at this stage.
