Living in Voordorp and Voorveldsepolder, Utrecht
Voordorp is a neighbourhood you wouldn't expect so close to the centre of Utrecht. It feels, as resident Louise aptly describes, like a "village in the city": people look at you, say hello, children play in the street and there is remarkably much green. That observation is no coincidence. The neighbourhood is designed to be car-free, which strongly determines the quiet atmosphere on the streets. The Voordorpse Dijk forms the backbone of the neighbourhood and gives the whole a rural character that is rare in Utrecht.
The houses largely date from the first half of the twentieth century, with a mix of detached houses, semi-detached houses and terraced houses on larger plots than you find in the more urban neighbourhoods of Utrecht. Voorveldsepolder borders the north side and offers open, green landscape that is directly accessible from the back garden or via a short bike ride. That explains the high scores for green (8.0) and beauty (9.0) in the resident reviews.
In terms of amenities, Voordorp is compact. For daily groceries there is a local neighbourhood supermarket, but for a larger selection you cycle towards the Amsterdamsestraatweg or the centre. Children can attend primary schools in the immediate vicinity, which contributes to the education score of 8.0. Sports clubs and playgrounds are present in the neighbourhood and in adjacent districts. The accessibility score of 6.0 is the lowest sub-score and that is recognisable: the neighbourhood is not directly next to a train station. From Voordorp you cycle to Utrecht Central in about ten minutes, and there are bus connections that take you to the centre and other parts of the city. By car, via the Waterlinieweg or the Biltstraat, you have reasonably quick access to the motorways towards Amsterdam and Arnhem, although accessibility by public transport is less strong than in some other neighbourhoods of Noordoost.
Compared to neighbourhoods like Tuindorp and Van Lieflandlaan-West or the more urban Staatsliedenbuurt, Voordorp is quieter and greener, but also has fewer shops within walking distance. The Vogelenbuurt offers a more urban alternative within the same district. More neighbourhood data, maps and all resident reviews can be found on the page Voordorp and Voorveldsepolder.

When I come to Voordorp, it really feels like a village. People look at you, say hello, children play in the street, and there's a lot of greenery. It's also car-free, which makes it nice and quiet on the street! Once there was a fight between a bunch of street youths, but I don't think they were from the neighbourhood. Because I hardly ever see people hanging around on the street, which I also like. My room is practically on the pavement and I never have any trouble with anyone. I also come from a village and was a bit afraid of the city's hustle and bustle, but it's not like that at all, so that's really great.
