Living in Vleuten-De Meern: family neighbourhood with plenty of green, but little sense of community
On the neighbourhood page of Vleuten-De Meern, residents rate the neighbourhood a 7.5 out of 10, based on 12 reviews. What immediately stands out: green spaces score the highest at 8.3, followed by accessibility (8.1) and education (8.0). The score for community spirit is the lowest at 5.9. Resident Liam sums it up aptly: "There is a shopping centre, large park and swimming pool very close by. Furthermore, not much conversation happens between the people living in this neighbourhood." Other residents recognise this. It is a nice place to live, but do not expect your neighbours to spontaneously pop round for coffee. Marion Borst experienced it differently and writes: "Nice neighbours where everyone helps each other when needed, but also a chat now and then." So it strongly depends on which street you end up on.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is well equipped. Shopping centre Vleuterweide and the shopping area in De Meern offer supermarkets (Albert Heijn, Jumbo), drugstores and small specialist shops. Máximapark, one of the largest city parks in Utrecht, is located in the middle of the neighbourhood and is a huge attraction for families. There you will also find playgrounds, a petting zoo and running routes. Swimming pool De Meern is within cycling distance for most residents. For primary education, there are several schools spread across the neighbourhoods, including in Vleuterweide-Noord/Oost/Centrum and De Meern-Noord. Secondary school students can go to Leidsche Rijn College.
Accessibility is a strong point. Station Vleuten has a direct Sprinter connection to Utrecht Centraal (approximately 10 minutes) and towards Woerden and Gouda. The A2 and A12 are reachable within a few minutes via the junctions at Leidsche Rijn. Bus lines connect the neighbourhood with the centre of Utrecht and surrounding villages. However, several residents mention that there is sometimes nuisance around the Oudenrijn business park. Carijn writes: "At the industrial estate there is some crime now and then. There have also been burglaries here occasionally." The safety score of 7.2 confirms that picture: fine for most streets, but with points of attention.

I moved here shortly after this neighbourhood was built. Over the years it became more lively. Unfortunately, crime in the area has increased over time.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience of the neighbourhood is quite positive. Because of the many rental houses that have been built, the neighbours and residents change quite quickly, but the neighbourhood always remains quite cosy and friendly.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is a shopping centre, large park and swimming pool very close by. Furthermore, there isn't much conversation among the people living in this neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AINice place, there is some crime at the industrial estate occasionally. There have also been break-ins here and in the houses in the neighbourhood. I notice that in other neighbourhoods a lot of renovation and construction is going on, which I think is manageable here. That's also nice. We have friendly neighbours, although we sometimes have cigarette smoke nuisance from the neighbours. And a lot of dog barking. There isn't much litter. There are enough primary schools in the area, and a secondary school, the Leidsche Rijn College.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn the neighbourhood where I live, it is generally always safe. Sometimes there are loitering youths on the school playground, but they don't bother you much. There are also plenty of primary and secondary schools in the area. Unfortunately, there isn't much to do in the neighbourhood itself; there is a small shopping centre and occasionally a fair, but for the youth there isn't much to do.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbours where everyone helps each other when needed, but also has a chat from time to time. Very nice indeed
Auto-translated to English by AIWe never have any nuisance, which is really nice. Sometimes we chat with the neighbours, great fun. I really recommend this neighbourhood to live in.
Auto-translated to English by AIThey moved too many people here from Kanaleneiland. This has really ruined the neighbourhood.
