Hooch Boulandt, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Arthur van Schendelstraat sits in a surprisingly peaceful pocket of the busy city centre. The streets between the Singel and the railway are calm and green, with the Singel itself right there for a morning run. At €540,000 for 83 m², the price is in line with the market, similar apartments in Utrecht average around €6,800 per m².
One resident describes Hooch Boulandt as "a quiet part of a busy neighbourhood". They note that the streets behind the Singel are very quiet and peaceful, partly because there are few amenities in this part. However, all necessary shops are easily reached on foot. The resident mentions that the quiet streets can feel a bit scary at night, especially the stretch from the central station past dark parks and empty offices. The neighbourhood Hooch Boulandt is densely populated, with mostly one-person households and a young adult skew.
For daily groceries, Jumbo is just around the corner, Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away, and Coop is also within a five-minute walk. The Agatha Snellenschool primary school is a couple of streets away, and Openbare Basisschool De Kleine Dichter is a five-minute walk. The municipality Utrecht offers a wide range of amenities, with a restaurant and a park or garden just around the corner.

I live on the Singel, which is quite busy with traffic, but the streets behind it (between the Singel and the railway) are actually very quiet and peaceful. This is also because there are few amenities in this part. However, you can easily reach all necessary shops on foot. Due to the few cafés in these streets, there is little sense of community. The quiet streets behind the house can sometimes be scary when you have to walk through them at night. Especially the stretch from the central station to home passes dark parks and offices that are empty in the evening. Living on the Singel, apart from the traffic, is very nice because you can (run) along the Singel in the greenery straight away. Hygiene is fine. The bins are not often too full.
