Groenlust, Stichtse Vecht
NeighbourhoodThis semi-detached house on Waterlelie sits in a leafy part of Groenlust, a small-scale neighbourhood where the streets are calm and the gardens are generous. With 150 m² of living space and a 390 m² plot, the home feels roomy both inside and out. Built in 1989 and carrying an energy label B, it is well-insulated and efficient. The asking price of €860,000 is on the high side compared to the only recent sale in the neighbourhood, which went for €525,000, but that was a different property type. For context, semi-detached houses in Stichtse Vecht tend to command a premium.
Groenlust is a tiny neighbourhood with just 560 residents, and the figures show it is very much a family area: 95 households have children, and the average household size is 2.5 people. The housing stock is almost entirely single-family homes (80%), and all homes sold here in recent years were built between 1990 and 2010. With an address density of just 378 addresses per km², it is classified as a rural living environment. The Groenlust neighbourhood has a quiet, village feel, and the low crime figures (3 incidents in total) reflect that.
For your morning bread, PLUS is just around the corner, and there are two primary schools within a couple of streets away: School met de Bijbel De Wegwijzer and WereldKidz Kockenest. A GP is also a five-minute walk away. For secondary education, you would need to travel further, the nearest is Broeckland College. The train station is 5.2 km away, so a car or bike is handy for commuting. The municipality of Stichtse Vecht covers a wide area, with Kockengen offering a peaceful base while still being within reach of Utrecht and Amsterdam.
