Hooch Boulandt, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with presence. On the Catharijnesingel, one of Utrecht's most iconic canals, you get a 360 m² terraced house with a 195 m² plot and an A+ energy label, a rare combination of space and efficiency. The price of €2,475 per month is in line with the market, especially given the size: the floor area is double the neighbourhood average. For context, terraced houses in Utrecht are scarce, and this one stands out.
Hooch Boulandt is a small pocket of the Binnenstad, tucked between the Singel and the railway. One resident describes it as "a quiet part of a busy neighbourhood", the streets behind the Singel are peaceful, with few amenities but easy access to shops on foot. They note that the quiet streets can feel a bit scary at night, especially the walk from the station past dark parks and empty offices. Living on the Singel itself, they say, is lovely for running or walking along the greenery. The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with many one-person households and a high address density of over 5,000 per km². This is the Hooch Boulandt neighbourhood in a nutshell: calm, central, and a little urban.
Your morning bread run is just around the corner at Albert Heijn or Jumbo. For primary schools, the Agatha Snellenschool is a five-minute walk away, and odbs Puntenburg is similarly close. The Singel itself is a green ribbon for a morning jog, and the park or public garden is on your doorstep. The central station is a ten-minute walk, making commutes easy. This is city living with a quiet home base, the municipality of Utrecht at its most convenient.
At present, the home is listed through several channels, including Rotsvast Utrecht Beheer and Rotsvast Utrecht.

I live on the Singel, which is quite busy with traffic, but the streets behind it (between the Singel and the railway) are actually very quiet and peaceful. This is also because there are few amenities in this part. However, you can easily reach all necessary shops on foot. Due to the few cafés in these streets, there is little sense of community. The quiet streets behind the house can sometimes be scary when you have to walk through them at night. Especially the stretch from the central station to home passes dark parks and offices that are empty in the evening. Living on the Singel, apart from the traffic, is very nice because you can (run) along the Singel in the greenery straight away. Hygiene is fine. The bins are not often too full.
