Hooch Boulandt, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Arthur van Schendelstraat sits in a surprisingly peaceful part of the city, just behind the busy Singel. With 108 m² of living space, it is 27% larger than the average apartment in the neighbourhood. The home was built in 1992 and has an A energy label, so it is well insulated and efficient. At €625,000, the price is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €558,438, but the extra space and modern efficiency help explain it. For context, see other apartments in Utrecht.
Hooch Boulandt is a small neighbourhood within Utrecht's city centre, with about 2,090 residents. It is densely built up (over 5,300 addresses per km²) and very urban, yet the streets between the Singel and the railway are notably calm. One resident describes it as "a quiet part of a busy neighbourhood," adding that "the streets behind it are actually very quiet and peaceful" because there are few amenities in that part. They note that "you can easily reach all necessary shops on foot," but also mention that "due to the few cafés in these streets, there is little sense of community." The neighbourhood has a high proportion of single-person households (895 out of 1,420 households) and relatively few families with children (105). Most homes were built between 1990 and 2010 (73%), and 61% are owner-occupied. For more, see the neighbourhood Hooch Boulandt.
For groceries, you have several options just around the corner: Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away, PLUS and Jumbo are also within a five-minute walk. For primary schools, odbs Puntenburg is a couple of streets away, and Agatha Snellenschool and Openbare Basisschool De Kleine Dichter are also within a five-minute walk. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just around the corner. The central station is a ten-minute walk away. For more about the wider area, see the municipality Utrecht.

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.
