Of that rental portion, 23% is owned by housing associations and 13% by other landlords.

The average disposable income here is €36,700, also lower than the €43,600 in the rest of the municipality.

Maarssenbroek: pleasant during the day, mixed in the evening
With nearly 23,635 residents, Maarssenbroek is the largest neighbourhood in Stichtse Vecht — and you notice it. It is a typical 1970s and 1980s new-build neighbourhood with many single-family homes, wide cycle paths and green strips between the districts. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years, and with 3,945 households with children, this is clearly a family neighbourhood. Residents give the neighbourhood a 7.0 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl based on 9 reviews. Accessibility scores the highest (7.9) — logical, because Maarssen station is within cycling distance and the A2 motorway can be reached in a few minutes. Education scores 7.7, which fits the family character.
Yet the picture is not uniform. Resident Sven writes about Kamelenspoor: "During the day a very pleasant neighbourhood, everyone greets each other politely. But in the evening everything changes, because a lot of loitering youth come onto the street." Another resident complains about nuisance from fatbikes. At the same time, Hk says: "Nice neighbourhood to live in, many amenities in the immediate vicinity. Good social control." And Angel simply calls it "a nice neighbourhood with decent people and little nuisance." The cleanliness score is the lowest at 6.0 — the streetscape is functional, not charming. If you are looking for a picturesque village view, you should look instead at Loenen aan de Vecht. More resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data can be found on the neighbourhood page of Maarssenbroek.
In terms of amenities, Maarssenbroek is well equipped. Shopping centre Bisonspoor forms the heart of the neighbourhood, with supermarkets, a GP and catering facilities. The districts each have their own character: Fazantenkamp and Reigerskamp are quiet family districts with plenty of greenery, while around Bisonspoor there is more liveliness and apartments. The municipality of Stichtse Vecht is investing in the renovation of the shopping centre and public space, which should become noticeable in the coming years.
Does Maarssenbroek suit you as a tenant?
Renting an apartment in Maarssenbroek is particularly interesting for young families and starters who want the proximity of Utrecht without the Utrecht rental prices. With an average free-sector rent of €1,688, it is cheaper than many Utrecht neighbourhoods, but not necessarily advantageous for single people on a modal income. If you are looking for social housing, keep in mind that waiting times in this region are long — 23% of the housing stock is owned by housing associations, but demand far exceeds supply.

Nuisance from fatbikes
Auto-translated to English by AIKamelenspoor is generally a very nice neighbourhood to live in, especially during the day. Everyone greets each other politely and respects the norms and values of others in the area. This gives a safe and pleasant feeling. Only in the evening everything changes, because a lot of loitering youth come onto the street, causing nuisance in dark spots, making those spots feel unsafe at night. Furthermore, it's a shame that more and more rental houses are appearing in the neighbourhood; this brings different ethnicities, which can sometimes clash a bit, which is of course unfortunate. I would also like to see more nature here, because now there are a few patches of grass and some trees, so a bit more green space would be nice. The housing is fine here, it's just a shame that as soon as you step out the door you can immediately look into someone else's garden or be looked into yourself; you never really have privacy. Otherwise, it's really a nice and cosy neighbourhood.
