Living in Lunetten-Noord, Utrecht
Lunetten-Noord is a post-war neighbourhood in the southeast of Utrecht, built in the 1970s as part of the Lunetten expansion district. The urban layout is recognisable: closed building blocks, porch flats and gallery flats alternate with some ground-bound terraced houses. Green spaces are strikingly present. Along the Koningsweg and around the Lunetten ponds, there are spacious green zones that give the neighbourhood an airy character. Residents therefore give green spaces a score of 9.5 out of 10, one of the highest sub-scores.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is reasonably self-sufficient. Winkelcentrum Woonboulevard Lunetten is within cycling distance, and supermarkets are available in the immediate vicinity for daily groceries. Primary schools are present in the area, which is also reflected in the remarkably high education score of 10.0. For a wider range of shops or catering, Utrecht city centre is about ten to fifteen minutes away by bike.
Accessibility scores exceptionally well with a 9.5. That is not without reason: bus stops on the Koningsweg connect the neighbourhood quickly to Utrecht Central and other parts of the city. Those travelling by car have a direct connection to the rest of the country via the A12 and A27. Parking is still reasonably manageable on most streets, although this varies by part of the neighbourhood.
The social climate is mixed. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of social housing (55%) and many single-person households (1,965 of the approximately 4,375 residents). This results in a diverse population composition. Resident Mirjam gives the neighbourhood a 6.7 and describes it as follows: "Overall, most people are quite nice and I'm glad I can live somewhere, but there are many antisocial and dirty people living here. People who urinate in the lift, set off firecrackers, put rubbish on the street." She calls for more enforcement. Safety and housing both score a 6.5, indicating room for improvement. The overall neighbourhood score of Lunetten-Noord stands at 7.7, but read the reviews carefully to form a realistic picture.

Overall, most people are quite nice and I'm glad I have somewhere to live, but there are a lot of antisocial and dirty people living here. People who pee in the lift, do balloons, put rubbish on the street, deal drugs, loiter in the hallway, etc. It would be nice if more enforcement was done on hygiene and behaviour. A homeless person slept under the fire escape for a few months, which didn't feel very nice. The police did come regularly, but little was done about it. Also, people with dogs never clean up their dog poop behind my house. Otherwise, the surroundings are beautiful. You can walk straight into Beatrix Park where many nice people walk their dogs. Facilities are fine, but for shops like Kruidvat, HEMA, Action, etc., you have to travel a bit further. As a starter, I think it's fine to live here now, but because of the neighbourhood, I do want to move away at some point. A shame because I love Lunetten and all the greenery it has to offer.
