Living in Veldhuizen, Utrecht

Veldhuizen is located in the western part of Utrecht, sandwiched between the A2 and the railway line towards The Hague, and has a distinct residential character. The neighbourhood was built in the 1980s and 1990s as a quiet family district, and that feeling has been preserved to this day. The streets are wide, there is plenty of green space in the public areas, and the housing stock largely consists of semi-detached houses and terraced houses with gardens. Residents greatly appreciate this: green space and beauty score 8.5 and 9.0 respectively on the resident rating, which are high scores for an urban neighbourhood.

One resident describes it as follows: "Quiet and nice to live in. We never have any nuisance, which is super nice. Sometimes we chat with the neighbours, really nice. I really recommend this district to live in." That atmosphere of quiet familiarity without anonymity is typical of Veldhuizen. The community score (6.5) is slightly lower, indicating that the neighbourhood is not the type where everyone talks to each other on the street every day, but that there is definitely social connection.

For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave Veldhuizen. There are several supermarkets within easy reach in the immediate vicinity, including facilities in the nearby shopping centre of De Meern. Sports clubs, playgrounds and primary schools are well represented in and around the neighbourhood. Education even scores a 9.0 in the resident ratings, a remarkably high score that indicates satisfaction with the school provision in the area.

Accessibility is a clear plus point (score 8.0). Via the A2 and A12, you are quickly on the motorway towards Amsterdam or The Hague. By bus you are connected to Utrecht Central, and Utrecht Terwijde station is within cycling distance, from where you can quickly reach the city centre by train. The centre of Utrecht is also easily reachable by bike in about twenty minutes. Safety scores 8.5, which is a reassuring figure for a neighbourhood of over 9,000 residents.

Compared to neighbouring communities such as Vleuterweide-Noord/Oost/Centrum and Vleuterweide-West, Veldhuizen has a somewhat quieter and more subdued character. Vleuterweide is newer and livelier, Veldhuizen is established and stable. If you prefer a more village-like feel, you could also look at Vleuten or the rural Haarzuilens and surroundings.

Is a home in Veldhuizen right for you?

Veldhuizen mainly attracts families and home-movers. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, and 39% of households are married. First-time buyers will notice that the entry price of €400,000 is at the lower end of the market, but that overbidding in this segment is realistic. Home-movers with equity from a previous home are in a stronger position. The neighbourhood is less suitable for those looking for an apartment or compact city home. If you are unsure about buying, you could also look at rental homes in Veldhuizen as an interim solution. More information about living and moving in the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Utrecht.
