Hooch Boulandt, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Arthur van Schendelstraat sits in a surprisingly peaceful pocket of Utrecht's busy city centre. Built in 1992, it has an A energy label and 76 m² of living space. At €479,000, the asking price is below the neighbourhood average of €558,438, making it a keen option compared to other apartments in Utrecht.
The neighbourhood Hooch Boulandt is a small enclave between the Singel and the railway. One resident describes it as "a quiet part of a busy neighbourhood": the streets behind the Singel are very quiet and peaceful, though the stretch from the central station to home passes dark parks and empty offices at night. The area has few cafés, so there is little sense of community, but daily needs are easily reached on foot. Most homes here were built between 1990 and 2010, and the neighbourhood is densely urban with over 5,300 addresses per km².
For groceries, you have Albert Heijn just around the corner, PLUS a couple of streets away, and Jumbo a five-minute walk. Three primary schools are within a ten-minute walk: odbs Puntenburg, Agatha Snellenschool, and Openbare Basisschool De Kleine Dichter. The municipality Utrecht offers all the amenities of a major city, with a train station a ten-minute walk away and parks, restaurants and a GP surgery all on your doorstep.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Lauteslager Makelaars and also appears on Funda.

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.
