Tuindorp-Oost, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Hijmans van den Berghlaan sits in a peaceful pocket of Utrecht. At €319,000 it is 32% below the neighbourhood average asking price, partly because the 45 m² floor area is half the typical size in Tuindorp-Oost. For a compact home in a sought-after part of the city, the price is keen compared to other apartments in Utrecht.
One resident describes the area as "a nice quiet neighbourhood to live in", with green spaces and playgrounds. They note that "the area is quiet yet still in the city; within 10 minutes by bike you're in the city centre". The neighbourhood has a mix of households: many singles and couples, plus families with children. Average incomes are in line with the city. The neighbourhood Tuindorp-Oost is well connected by bike and car, though the resident mentions the Zuilense ring can get congested and the bus 4 is unreliable.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner. There are also several other supermarkets a couple of streets away. Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Basisschool de Beiaard and pcbs De Regenboog. The Gerrit Rietveld College for secondary education is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Utrecht offers all city amenities within easy reach.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Beumer and also appears on Funda.

It's a nice quiet neighbourhood to live in. Here and there some green spaces and playgrounds for children. There's a large supermarket in the area with a shopping centre around it that also has a chemist etc. There are 2 schools in the area, one of which has a less strong reputation, which already limits the choice. The area is easily accessible by car and bike, although the Zuilense ring sometimes gets congested. The bus connection is less good; the 55 goes past the area and the 4 goes through the area. Unfortunately, the 4 is not a reliable bus and if it doesn't come, you can wait half an hour for the next one. Sometimes there is still some rubbish on the street, especially around De Gaard. The large waste containers there really look a mess and have a lot of rubbish lying next to them. My neighbours are friendly. The area is quiet yet still in the city; within 10 minutes by bike you're in the city centre and within a few minutes by car you're on the motorway.
