I give nature a 6 compared to the rest of the Netherlands. But for the city of Utrecht, nature is nearby here in Tolsteeg. Beatrixpark is one of the most beautiful parks and Amelisweerd is within cycling distance, which is doable. In itself, you can be in the forest at Driebergen-Zeist via the Vaartse Rijn. That threshold is a bit higher. The amenities of the not-so-cozy/pretty shopping centre are very pleasant. There's everything. That the Lidl is there is very nice, and also the Plus. The people there can sometimes spontaneously joke or talk to you. Furthermore, I appreciate how open Tolsteeg is. Many green strips, a lot of open feeling around the Rietveld flats. The only downside is that that area can sometimes feel a bit rectangular and straight-lined, also the road along the Lidl is somewhat busy and unpleasant. It is certainly not like Oudwijk or Wittevrouwen, but living there with the same floor space is simply reserved for millionaires in 2024. The Rietveld flats also have a charming, interesting appearance for apartment buildings. It's fantastic how well-connected the neighbourhood is. A few buses take you to Utrecht Central in about 5 minutes, on straight roads. You can also easily walk to Vaartse Rijn, from there the Oosterkade and Westerkade begin, which look just as beautiful and cosy as the city centre. Living south of the city centre I find nice. That part is much quieter.
