Hooch Boulandt, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Hartingstraat sits in a surprisingly peaceful corner of the Binnenstad. The streets between the Singel and the railway are calm, despite the city-centre bustle just minutes away. At €2,200 per month, the price is in line with the market, the average rent in Hooch Boulandt is €2,419, and this home's 80 m² is smaller than the neighbourhood average of 166 m², which is reflected in the rent. For context, apartments in Utrecht vary widely in size and price.
One resident describes it as "a quiet part of a busy neighbourhood", noting that the streets behind the Singel are very peaceful. The area has few amenities, but all necessary shops are within easy walking distance. The sense of community is limited due to the lack of cafés, and the quiet streets can feel a bit eerie at night, especially the walk from the central station past dark parks and empty offices. Hygiene is fine, and bins are rarely overflowing. The neighbourhood Hooch Boulandt is home to mostly one-person households (895 out of 1,420), with a high proportion of residents aged 25,45.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Jumbo and PLUS a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, Agatha Snellenschool, is a five-minute walk, and there are several others within a ten-minute walk. The municipality Utrecht offers a dense network of amenities, with a GP and a park both on your doorstep, and the central station a ten-minute walk away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Covers Wonen Makelaars & Taxateurs 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.
