Frequently asked questions
About Onderdoor 5-309, Houten
Is €270,500 a fair price for this studio?
At 28 m² and €270,500, the price per square metre is high compared to the average in Houten. However, studios in the centre are rare, and the energy label A keeps running costs low. The price reflects the central location above the shopping centre.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. You can expect low heating and electricity costs. The home was built in 1985, so it likely has reasonable insulation, but with label A you are in a good position.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride. Buses run from the shopping centre to the station.
What is the neighbourhood like?
Centrum Oost is lively and central, with shops, restaurants and the square right outside. One resident says: 'I love the cosiness.' Another says: 'A nice place to live with everything nearby.' Some events can cause noise and crowds, but overall it is a vibrant area.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. The home is a studio above the shopping centre, so outdoor space is unlikely. The plot size is not given, but the home is part of a larger building.
How many rooms does the studio have?
The listing states it is a studio, which typically means one open-plan room with a separate bathroom and kitchenette. The exact layout is not described, but studios are usually single-room living spaces.
Experiences from Centrum Oost
How residents experience their neighbourhood
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.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood. You're in the centre of Houten in no time, but you can also easily get to Utrecht, Den Bosch, etc. by train and car. Furthermore, there is a lot of nature nearby and around the house, which I really appreciate. There are also many schools in Houten or near Houten. Another advantage is that there are no large apartment blocks and all the houses match each other well. A downside is that in general there have been many (attempted) burglaries in Houten lately. Moreover, houses in Houten are extremely expensive, making it impossible for starters to afford a house or apartment here.

Auto-translated to English by AIWhen I came to live here 3.5 years ago, the neighbourhood was much safer than nowadays, but I can't complain about facilities and accessibility. There's nothing to say about the living itself and the location. But regarding safety: there are many incidents at Castellum around the ATM daily and with drunk homeless people harassing multiple people. This was not the case before to this extent.
Auto-translated to English by AIEvery now and then there's a smell of weed, but I can get used to it.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is generally very safe, sometimes there are some noisy teenagers but they don't really cause any harm. My neighbours are very friendly, I've become good friends with a few. There isn't much litter on the streets and the green areas are always nice. Everything is easily accessible on foot or by bike. There are many primary schools but the quality varies a bit. As I said at the beginning, there could be more facilities.
