Centrum Oost, Houten
NeighbourhoodThis studio sits above the shopping centre in Houten, right in the thick of things. At 30 m² it is compact, but with energy label A it is efficient to run. The asking price of €268,500 is on the high side for a studio in Houten, partly because of the central location. For comparison, see other studios in Houten.
Centrum Oost is a busy, urban neighbourhood with a high density of addresses. Two residents reviewed it: one has lived here for 24 years and loves the cosiness, but mentions nuisance from the fair and events, with rioting youths requiring camera surveillance and police. The other calls it "a nice place to live and with everything nearby". The neighbourhood has many single-person households and a mix of ages. For more on the area, visit the neighbourhood Centrum Oost page.

I have lived here for 24 years and love the cosiness. Too bad I experience a lot of nuisance from the fair and some events; besides the noise and the rubbish left behind, it is a magnet for rioting youths who fight full-scale battles among themselves and with the police. Nowadays, camera surveillance and a large police force are needed to make it somewhat normal, with varying success.

About Onderdoor 5-207, Houten
The price is on the high side for a studio in Houten, but the central location above the shopping centre and the energy label A help justify it. Without comparable sales in the immediate neighbourhood, it is hard to say exactly how it stacks up, but the listing price reflects the convenience of having shops and transport right there.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. That means heating and electricity costs are likely to be low compared to older homes. The building was built in 1985, so it has reasonable insulation, and with label A you can expect a comfortable home without high energy bills.
The train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk or a short cycle.
One resident who has lived here for 24 years mentions nuisance from the fair and events, with rioting youths requiring police presence. Another resident simply calls it a nice place with everything nearby. So it is lively, and you may experience some noise, but many enjoy the convenience.
Yes, Jumbo is just 36 metres away, Albert Heijn at 106 metres, and Lidl at 198 metres. You can do your daily shopping without needing a car, and the variety means you have plenty of choice.
