Langerak, Utrecht

For context, there are currently only two rentals available in the area, so choice is limited. You can compare with other apartments in Utrecht.

One says: "A cosy neighbourhood where everyone is welcome. I've lived here for 18 years. I feel safe. I can have a chat with the neighbours. You can play outside safely. There's also plenty of space to play outside." Another is less positive: "The neighbourhood is going downhill because there are people who don't integrate, throw rubbish down. I've lived here for 12 years, always with great pleasure, but the last 3 years it's been going downhill." So opinions vary, but the overall score is 7.53 out of 10.

The neighbourhood is going downhill because there are people who don't integrate, throw rubbish down. I've lived here for 12 years, always with great pleasure, but the last 3 years it's been going downhill, a shame.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in this neighbourhood for 18 years. I feel safe. I can have a chat with the neighbours. You can play outside safely. There's also plenty of space to play outside. Many different people live here, which makes the neighbourhood cosier and livelier. The city is nearby. And in and around the neighbourhood itself there are many amenities. They are all easily accessible, whether by car, bike, public transport or on foot. And there are many different types of houses in my neighbourhood so there is something for everyone. There are many schools in the area. Secondary and primary. Not all schools are equally good, but there are plenty of options. The neighbourhood is generally quite clean, there isn't a lot of litter. However, you have to watch out for dog poo, which isn't always pleasant. One point for improvement I could mention is that apart from gardens, there is little greenery/nature. I find that a shame.
