Driebergen-Noord, Utrechtse Heuvelrug
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Traaij sits in a leafy part of Driebergen-Rijsenburg, where the streets are quiet and the gardens are generous. With 130 m² of living space and a plot of 755 m², there is plenty of room both indoors and out. The asking price of €1,615,000 is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Utrechtse Heuvelrug, but the large plot and the home's character help explain it.
Driebergen-Noord is a residential area with a mix of families and older residents. The streets are lined with trees and the atmosphere is calm. One resident describes it as 'Cosy and close to the city', adding: 'Sometimes the neighbours get angry because we hit the goal too hard, but otherwise everything is positive.' That single review gives a glimpse of a friendly, lived-in community. The neighbourhood Driebergen-Noord has a high proportion of owner-occupied homes and a low urbanity score, so you get a village feel while still being near the town centre.
For daily shopping, you have a Lidl just around the corner, an Aldi a couple of streets away, and an Albert Heijn within a five-minute walk. There are several primary schools nearby, including WereldKidz Pirapoleon and CJS De Kring, both within walking distance. The nearest secondary school is about 3 km away, so older children may need a bike or bus. A restaurant is on your doorstep, and the train station is a ten-minute drive, making commutes to Utrecht or Amsterdam manageable.

About Traaij 287, Driebergen-Rijsenburg
The price is on the high side compared to other detached homes in Utrechtse Heuvelrug, but the large plot of 755 m² and the 1948 character add value. The home has 130 m² of living space and an energy label B, which keeps running costs reasonable. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the plot size and the quiet location.
The energy label is B, which is quite efficient for a house built in 1948. You can expect moderate energy bills, though the exact amount depends on usage. The label suggests the home has decent insulation and heating, but it is not as efficient as a modern A-label home.
The nearest train station is 3.4 km away, which is about a ten-minute drive or a 20-minute bike ride. This makes it convenient for commuting to Utrecht or Amsterdam, though you will need a bike or car to get there.
Driebergen-Noord has many families with children, and the streets are quiet and safe. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and the large gardens give kids space to play. One resident mentions a friendly atmosphere, though the occasional noise from children playing football is noted.
The plot is 755 m², which is generous for a detached house in this area. The listing does not specify how much of that is garden, but the size suggests plenty of outdoor space for gardening, play or entertaining.
You have a Lidl about 1.2 km away, an Aldi at 1.3 km, and an Albert Heijn at 1.4 km. That means daily groceries are within a 15-minute walk or a short bike ride. For more variety, the town centre of Driebergen is also close.
