Centrum Oost, Houten
NeighbourhoodThis studio sits right above the shopping centre, so you step out of the front door straight into the bustle of Houten's main square. At 30 m² it's compact, but the energy label A keeps running costs low. The asking price of €265,500 is on the high side for a studio this size, though it reflects the convenience of living above a supermarket. For context, studios in Houten vary widely in price.
Centrum Oost is the beating heart of Houten, with a mix of shops, restaurants and a market square. Two residents give it a 7.5 out of 10. One says: "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." Another calls it "a nice place to live and with everything nearby." The neighbourhood has many single-person households and a young population. The neighbourhood Centrum Oost is densely built with mostly flats.
Your morning coffee is a 23-metre walk to Jumbo, and Albert Heijn is just around the corner. For school runs, primary school Het Mozaïek is a couple of streets away, and secondary school College de Heemlanden is a five-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and a park is just around the corner for a breather. The municipality Houten has all amenities within easy reach.

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.
