The neighbourhood Hooch Boulandt is a small enclave between the Singel and the railway. One resident describes it as "a quiet part of a busy neighbourhood", the streets behind the Singel are peaceful, with few amenities but easy walking access to shops. The same resident notes that the quiet streets can feel a bit scary at night, especially the route from the central station past dark parks and empty offices. The neighbourhood is densely urban (over 5,300 addresses per km²) and home to many singles and young professionals.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with SPAR and Jumbo a couple of streets away. Primary schools are within a five-minute walk: odbs Puntenburg and Agatha Snellenschool are both close by. The municipality Utrecht offers everything you'd expect from a major city, with parks, restaurants and a train station all within a ten-minute walk.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Lauteslager Makelaars and available through several channels.

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.
