Hooch Boulandt, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis rental apartment on Nicolaas Beetsstraat sits in a surprisingly peaceful part of the bustling city centre. With 102 m² of living space, it is 39% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 166 m², but the layout feels generous. At €2,650 per month, the price is on the high side compared to the median of €2,275 in Hooch Boulandt, though it reflects the larger-than-average floor area for a rental. For context, apartments in Utrecht vary widely in size and price.

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.
