Maliebaan 42E
Buiten Wittevrouwen, Utrecht
AreaA grand apartment on the Maliebaan
This apartment on the Maliebaan sits in one of Utrecht's most atmospheric streets, with tall period facades and a calm, leafy feel. At €3,220 per month, the rent sits well above the average for apartments in Utrecht, so you are paying for a particular kind of character and address. The 82 m² floor plan is spread over a building from 1881, which gives the home high ceilings and original details that newer builds simply do not have. The energy label is D, which is a middling score, so heating costs will be noticeable but not extreme. Given the premium location and the historic setting, the price is on the high side compared with the rest of the market.
The Buiten Wittevrouwen neighbourhood
The Buiten Wittevrouwen neighbourhood is a small, close-knit pocket of Utrecht where most homes are owner-occupied and the streets are lined with distinctive, varied architecture. One resident describes it as "very cosy with a lot of community", adding that there are many things to do nearby, like parks and walking paths, and that it is a safe place to live near Utrecht Central. Another simply calls it "nice" and "reasonably quiet". Based on two reviews, the picture is of a sociable, peaceful area. The population skews heavily towards single-person households, with many residents in their twenties and thirties, so the vibe is young and independent rather than family-oriented.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy from here. An Albert Heijn and an Ekoplaza are both just around the corner, with another Albert Heijn and a Jumbo a couple of streets away, so you have plenty of choice for groceries. For school runs, the Montessori Buiten Wittevrouwen and the Nieuwe Regentesseschool are both within a five-minute walk, and the Jenaplanschool Wittevrouwen is a little further along. The train station is a ten-minute walk, which makes commuting straightforward. The municipality of Utrecht has a dense, well-served feel, and this street sits right in the middle of it.
