Hooch Boulandt, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Arthur van Schendelstraat sits in a surprisingly peaceful pocket of Utrecht's bustling city centre. With 86 m² of living space, it is considerably smaller than the neighbourhood average of 180 m², and the rent of €2,395 is in line with the market. For context, see other apartments in Utrecht.
Based on one review, the area is described as "a quiet part of a busy neighbourhood." The resident notes that the streets between the Singel and the railway are very quiet and peaceful, though there are few cafés so little sense of community. Shops are easily reached on foot, but walking from the central station at night can feel scary due to dark parks and empty offices. The Singel itself offers nice greenery for running.

Daily errands are easy: an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a PLUS and Jumbo are a couple of streets away. For primary schools, the Agatha Snellenschool and Openbare Basisschool De Kleine Dichter are both a five-minute walk. The area is very urban, with a high density of addresses. See the municipality of Utrecht for more on the surroundings.

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.
